A group of close friends spend their time drinking and partying. When the American fiancé one of them shows up, the clique protects her by hiding her from him. He slowly becomes deeper involved with the wild bunch while the party rages on. This once controversial British movie was filmed in 1962 but not released until three years later.

“This film is the story of young people who become, for want of a better word, beatniks. It’s not an attack on beatniks…but shows the loneliness and unhappiness and eventually the tragedy that comes from a life lived without love for anyone or anything.”

A bleak tale of listlessness and depression set to beatniks led by a hedonistic more bark than bite Oliver Reed. Not the usual over the top anti-beat propaganda, surprisingly, until maybe the tumultuous end of said party... but even then it’s less about them being counter-culture youths than it is about the explosion of pent up emotion and staircases without proper railing.
