Two a Penny

Just do one Cliff. What utter dreck. Apparently my "review" is too short. OK... Let's cover the ground again... Just do one Cliff.

I saw this film late one night on TBN(which is a religious network here in the US)..This film caught my eye and made me chuckle a little bit. It stars none other than the "British Elvis" himself,Cliff Richard. What you get is an hour and a half of Mod kids hanging out trying to figure what path in life to take..all in all, I enjoyed it for its good nature and its camp value.

Now out in the UK on DVD - something of a collectors piece, with some well known actors and lots of cine verite coverage of the 1967 Billy Graham London Crusade. I say the film on the big screen in 1970, when booklets were handed out from the Crusade organisation. Several big name English actors add spice to a fairly ordinary - perhaps cusading - movie, which follows the generic story line of the Billy Graham films of the period, but this time we have a strong English accent to add interest. Watch out for Dora Bryan in a phone box - there is an odd graphic in view as grafitti - it is the symbol of another film that Dora was making at the time, perhaps not entirely in keeping with this movie (The Killing of Sister George). This movie is rather special for me - I witnessed some of the events on a large TV screen in Manchester in 1967, and then in 1970 it marked the date my present wife and I became a team.
