Steve D 01/26/2024 A meandering waste of time. See more 10/08/2016 a board housewife goes to London and meets a young man looking for a good time. film not helped by the main character. a total bore. See more 09/25/2016 The contrast between the two characters having the most irreverent affair couldn't be greater, but this works well for the film that takes in plenty of what is now a time capsule of London in the early 1970's.
