Here we go round the morosity...

Scrobs had a message from Amazon Prime the other day, with an offer of a free film, for some reason!

Now that always needs a little thought, as there's one film I'd like to see again, after all these years, so I popped in a search to see if it was there...

Now, I always liked Oliver Reed, possibly because back then, he was the sort of swash-buckling hell-raiser, with a penchant for pretty women that young chaps in their late teens sometimes enjoyed emulating, (not), but the films he appeared in, like 'The Jokers' etc, just seemed to be the sort of flick my chums and I went to see! So when my lovely chum Ro told me one morning at the office, that she'd been to see this film with her boyfriend, it was going to be the next one to see after several pints at the rugby club!

But...

It's nowhere to be seen on the Prime list! Baaaah!

So of course, while the search box is still open, one wonders what else might be around, and sure enough, another favourite...

...from the same era appeared, and it was actually free! So I started it off on the Electronic Filofax, (iPad), and away we went, with Barry Evans, and lots of lovely girls on recall from all those years ago, and also quite a lot of misty recollection!

It was certainly a film from an era which is now long gone, but great fun, and worth seeing again, if only to see the gorgeous Judy Geeson in a superb part - well, showing several parts actually,  but of course, that's not what I mean, (lying sod, Scrobs - Ed), it was just that those days were very well depicted, and I remember them reasonably well, as of course, we'd be watching the film after several tinctures...

So the film ended, and I mused as to what happened to all those beautiful girls who filled the cast with all sorts of emotions, and a foray into the archives seemed the right thing to do!

Wrong call...

...all popped off this mortal paradise...

Barry Evans also left us some time ago, and we still use the term, 'You're so wearing Waring', from 'The Doctor' series!

But much better news from two of the others: -

Adrienne Posta is still here with us thank goodness, but I haven't seen her anywhere in the press of late! (Oh, Jamie)...

And luckily, I found that Judy Geeson is here too, but living in the US - more's the pity, as a quick 192 might have been on the cards! She was just fabulous in that part; we all loved her to bits!

So, all in all, it was a 'great' evening, and maybe a final Calvados might have started the recall-fest, but there again, who would really want to forget those times, and the lovely ladies us chaps could only dream of!
