Michael Winner became something of a joke so it's a shock to see this energetic, bright, entertaining kitchen sink drama about young men in an English coastal town who try to seduce female visitors... but still can't beat the class system. Oliver Reed is electric -that initial appearance he leaps off the screen. Jane Merrow is good too - actually all the acting is strong with small roles played by solid types like Guy Doleman and Harry Andrews. Andrew Ray, one of Reed's mates, was in The Mudlark. David Hemmings is in this.
A frank depiction of sex, some good writing (not by Winner). The scene on the train reminded me of A Hard Day's Night.
