A Curate's Egg
As with most compilations, the collection has good bits and not-so-good bits, and people may well have differing views about what is or is not good anyway. Being totally fed up with modern American Coca-Colonisation, there is always for me at least some pleasure in seeing again something of a seemingly simpler, British world, however dated the film and its techniques may be.
