FROM A TIME WHEN A BRITISH FILM MADE YOU FEEL GOOD


Hot Millions is to me a very underatted film.

Great cast and some very sharp observations.

Its good to see London looking good from back in the day especially Trafalgar Square and Grenwich Park and of course the Number 15 bus route.

Britain has not made a film as good as this for many years. How very very sad.

Mr Gnatpoles Jensen Interceptor looks groovy as well.

I can definitely relate. It's not just British films though - modern films are much more effect-driven and reality-driven, and have forgotten about charm and dialogue.

hmmmmm I do know what you mean about the very large super-hero type films buit otherwise I think that there are onless examples of great characters and we'll wrtiiten films.

One thing that has not changed is the dire quality of most British feature filmns. That is very sad.

It is a very funny film. all the cast are great, and I agree it's lovely to see London as it was then. although there is the occasional modern film I enjoy, most of my favourites tend to be older films like this one.
