i would never hear of this film before tcm start screen it a a late night filler and initially wake up in the middle of it when holloway and co be sing the poignant and totally unexpected the world be for the young . i actually couldn not get the song out of my head for several day . after that i keep stumble across bit of it on different screening and each time i say to my wife i kinda like this movie tonight i finally manage to watch it from the start and although a a film it doesn not really amount to much it such a good natured and sweet and enjoyably off kilter movie that it just make me feel good to see it . i want to see what other people think and it seem a few reviewer do get it whereas some others seem to get strangely vindictive and offended . yes it completely out of jaunt with it year and the hermit be anachronisms by 1968 but peter no one ( i try to make his surname come out correct ) be perfectly fine in the lead and the support cast be great and the brightly colour widescreen be a pleasure to the eye . guilty pleasure or not i have really warm to this .
