"Pretiest girl I've ever seen."
University in 1957, and Jim Dixon (Ian Carmichael) is a disheartened lecturer, having to kow-tow to his elders, whom he despises, in order to keep his job. Then his misery is compounded when he meets Christine Callaghan (Sharon Acker), who he falls for, even though she is obviously unobtainable to a man of his means.
Based on the Kingsley Amis novel, this comedy takes pot shots at the educatonal establishment, though much of the books satire is replaced by out and out slapstick. the bite may have gone, replaced by an enjoyable farce. Though it could have been so much better.
