Ian Hendry is a wheeler dealer salesman and a slut, with an ex Jeanette Sterke with his child, a girlfriend June Ritchie with his baby, and various lovers here and there. Considering he's such a good salesman supposedly he has a string of debts and nothing to show for it - quite what he spends all this money on isn't clear. The worst of it is the poor unfortunate Liz Fraser - in one of her more substantial roles - who is hiding the extent of her debt from aspiring politician husband Geoffrey Keen, who's a bastard.
With Peter Butterworth, Nyree Dawn Porter, Ronald Howard, Judith Furse, Peter Bowles and (uncredited) Stanley Meadows from Performance.
It's an unlikeable character in an unlikeable film with one or two chuckles.
Jack Trevor Story adapted Jack Lindsay's novel, Jack Hildyard of all people is on camera, with Gerry Fisher operating; Ron Grainer wrote the music.
