Review of The Touchables

This film I found very amusing. Four 1960's women model types kidnap a stuffy young pop star and steal him away to their pop art lair to take advantage of him in a very 60's manor whilst his manager and several other interested parties search for him. The female cast is very attractive, boasting society girl Judy Huxtable (A future Mrs Peter Cook ) Kathy Simmonds (Rod Stewarts ex and future girlfriend of George Harrison) Monika Ringwald (Confessions of a window cleaner) directed by experienced lensman and graphic designer Robert Freeman who photographed several Beatles album covers It is visually impressive as you'd expect and overloaded with suggestive imagery complimented With a witty, yet off the wall script by the great Ian Le Frenais (Likely Lads, Porridge) It wanders and becomes a little self-indulgent in the middle section but the music provided by the likes of Nirvana, Ferris Wheel and Pink Floyd brightens up the slower sections. Totally un pc with it's approach it is one of the forgotten groovy films of the late 60's that deserves a dvd release - As it is it's a very hard film to find which for me adds to it's appeal when investigating the cinematic culture of the UK in the sixties. Sh*gadelic baby yeh!!
