the bed sitting room (1969)


"I expect to turn into a bed sitting room shortly."
Post nuclear England, and the handful of people who have survived, now struggle to live amid the ruins. A surreal landscape where Mrs. Etheyl Shroake is the new queen, and the population are prone to mutate into inanimate objects, including wardrobes or entire rooms.
Spike Milligans surreal and warped take on life, moves from the stage to film. Although packed with the great and the good of Britain's stage and screen, it's only partially successful, depending on whether you get Milligans sense of humour or not. His anarchic sense of chaos not quite translating onto the screen.
