Nothing But The Best (1964 Clive Donner)

We weren't expecting to see Daphne's mum from 'Frasier' - Millicent Martin also sings the theme song. Frederic Raphael's simmering attack on the Establishment is a beaut - the 'education' received at Cambridge for example ("You don't know any history do you?" "No." "Good.") And the way Alan Bates smartly seizes every opportunity is a lovely thing. Pauline Delaney great as lusty landlady.

I love the scenic shots which become biscuit tin lids!


Seems to be the first British film in which the crime isn't punished.
