Ken Loach was unhappy with this film even though it was a hit. I really like it. I like the compromises. It's in colour, has a new star (Carol White), a more established star (Terence Stamp), a pop soundtrack (Donovan), it's in colour, has lots of sex. White has a healthy sex drive, a lot of charm.
White was bland in her later films but here she's relaxed and vulnerable and very winning. Stamp is excellent, charismatic and relaxed. Other actors very good.
I loved the little touches like White talking to camera and the chapter headings.
