Made in 1965

This is a small insight into these times. However I was expecting something totally different. It may be a nice look in to what we Brits found interesting and shocking back then it is neither now. However the only redeeming feature is that you can watch 30 secs of each chapter (seeming to be totally unrelated to the last!) and then skip on when you realize it still isn't interesting.

Surreal fun

JamesMc from , 21st February, 2010

This is a bit surreal, but all the better for it. A number of completely unrelated vignettes narrated by a very serious sounding voice proclaiming deep meaning in the strippers, pop stars and swingers on display, adding just the right note of disapproval to ensure they'd get a certificate. All quite tame stuff by today's standards, most nipples are tastefully covered in pasties, but mostly fairly amusing. There is a little documentary in the extras which contains about ten seconds of the Who, whilst proclaiming their involvement quite prominently in the credits. If anyone ever watches this on psychedelics of some kind, please review it, I reckon it would be perfect for that kind of thing.
