The Jokers (1967 Michael Winner)

Not the biggest fan of Mr Winner or his films but this one is written by the reliable and funny Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais whose career had only just begun with the previous year's Likely Lads.

Michael Crawford and Oliver Reed are quite unlikely as brothers (Reed was very cool in these days). Script suitably mocks establishment types and film acts like a travelogue of swinging sixties London, with editor Bernard Gribble having fun cutting in random shots of tourists etc.

Harry Andrews, Edward Fox, James Donald, Daniel Massey, Michael Hordern.
