Just watched this again after 12 years and think its aged beautifully, the humour seems quite 'now' and all its social commentary is still relevant. Never thought memories of *beep* British Seaside holidays would ever be evocative.
shareI agree. I think it's only recently that the film is being re-assessed, being unfairly maligned over the years. The cinematography is fantastic. I think only the final scenes let it down as the director doesn't seem to be able to pace the chaos at the gala dinner properly. But that aside it is a wonderful film.
shareSadly underrated for so long. I think that had it been given the proper backing at the time of it's release it would have done better. I'll probably get shot down here, but, I prefer this over The Rebel.
shareI read that Hancock was drinking heavily at the time and he does look tired and depressed in the film- in fact his exhausted world weary appreance makes him look uncannily like Gordon Brown.
