what a crazy world (1963)


"You all want something for nothing these days."
East End lad about town Alf Hitchens (Joe Brown) dreams of making it big in the music business, whilst hanging around with Herbie (Marty Wilde), and trying to maintain an on-off relationship with girlfriend Marilyn (Susan Maughan).
Amiable musical with a gritty London look, featuring Harry H. Corbett and Michael Ripper (in multiple roles). Interesting for its view of Britain on the cusp of the beat boom. Oh and Freddie and the Dreamers stripping on stage! Director Michael Carreras was usually helming Hammer horror films, so this was a bit of a departure for him.
