Movie review - "Baxter!" (1973) **

 Lionel Jeffries second feature wasn't released until after this third, I think because EMI weren't that into it, and to be honest I don't blame them. Maybe I saw this in a bad mood but I didn't care about the kid, his speech impediment didn't seem so bad, the mother felt like a caricatured bitch that it was easy to dump everything on, it was odd this American was in England, this random couple befriends them (Jean Pierre Cassel and Britt Ekland) and sing show tunes, dad pops in to be an arsehole, kid seems to have a breakdown.

Maybe it needs another viewing.
