Plot

A young coffee salesman travels through a Britain of corruption and hypocrisy in an episodic satire.

Sinekatalog’s take

Lindsay Anderson's episodic satire follows Malcolm McDowell through a corrupt, hypocritical Britain. Sprawling, surreal and sharp, with Alan Price's songs, it is a bold, funny state-of-the-nation fantasy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
