the knack...and how to get it (1965)


"First you must establish contact..."
Nancy (Rita Tushingham) steps off the train, ready to experience swinging London and soon makes the acquaintance of Colin (Michael Crawford) and his ace face pal Tolen (Ray Brooks). Tolen has 'the knack', seemingly able to sweep any woman he wants off her feet. Colin wants to learn, fed up of missing out on the sexual revolution going on all around him. But when Tolen tries it on with Nancy Colin gets jealous.
A wonderful look at swinging London, with a fine soundtrack by John Barry. A cartoon comedy, with pretensions to saying something real. In essence a distillation of the sixties.
