the party's over (1965)

"What happened last night?"
Melina (Louise Sorel) has taken to hanging with a bunch of beatniks in London, including Moise (Oliver Reed), but it looks like that her fun is over when her American fiance (Clifford David) announces that he is coming over for a visit...
Focuses a moralistic eye on Britain's post-war teens; portraying them as lost herd with no moral compass to guide them. Unfortunately the party had moved on after the film had sat of the shelf for three years before release. By which time the jazz age beatnik London was now the London of the swinging sixties, soundtracked by the Beatles and the Stones.
