Plot
On the day of a royal visit, a hospital is hit by strikes, protests and a mad scientist's experiments.
Sinekatalog’s take
Lindsay Anderson's savage satire sets a royal visit against strikes, protests and a mad scientist in a decaying hospital. Loud, bitter and uneven, with Malcolm McDowell, it is a rude attack on a Britain in decline.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
