8/10
A curiosity with charm
24 September 2013
If you were around in the early '60's this film will bring some memories flooding back. Not the type of film you'd associate with Michael Winner and much more charming than his standard output. It's a simple tale of 3 young women making their early moves to build a career in London, nothing profound and many might think it frivolous. To me it's evocative, with warmth and wit and I certainly didn't regret investing half an hour of my time in watching it. Plenty of useful tips for ladies with aspirations to be chic and sophisticated, such as how to look after your nails and makeup, walk like a model and get in and out of cars! A scene in a furriers is a real glimpse into the world which some of us inhabited back then, when political correctness was not yet on the radar. In the UK, catch it on Sky Arts at some time in the future - it will no doubt be repeated.
