Plot
A beautiful model in Swinging London climbs the social ladder through a series of lovers, and finds that success is empty.
Sinekatalog’s take
John Schlesinger's Swinging London satire follows Julie Christie's model climbing through lovers and finding emptiness. Christie won an Oscar, and the film is a glossy, acid portrait of fame.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
