The Swinger (1966)
7/10
If you like mid 60's Elvis films you will love this
29 November 2023
I am a great fan of mid 60's American films by the likes of Elvis and Jerry Lewis and was surprised that I had missed this gem. It almost felt like sequel to an Elvis film and the eye candy of Ann-Margret draws you in. You could almost take this as a serious film at the start, but it soon becomes toungue in cheek.

What becomes a good plot rapidly goes weird in the final reel. Its as if the director had run out of ideas and decided to make the final part of the film as some mad wacky chase scene. Fine, thats the way a lot of films end, but in this instance you are left wondering what's going on and how did we get there?

Brilliant 60's decor, but silly ending lets it down.

Recommended you watch it once, just to say you have seen it, but I will stick to my Elvis films ongoing.
