I first saw this as a late night channel 4 screening many years back. Fasty forward and More is now out on Blu-ray. Does this Pink Floyd-soundtrack movie still cut the mustard?
Film Reviews
To Sir With Love (1967)
Think sixties and it’s hard to avoid the word ‘swinging’ in the same sentence. British cinema audiences of the era didn’t want misery on the big screen when they left their miserable jobs – they wanted glamour, colour and above all, entertainment.
Modesty Blaise (1966)

Gonks Go Beat (1965)

Pop Gear (1965)
The final instalment (for now) of Optimum’s 60s Beat Classics series is a film in name only – essentially Pop Gear is just one long music show.
