"You're underage, oversexed and I'm not getting thrown off the force because of you!"
Here we have the very rare 1968 gritty British crime drama The Strange Affair. Starring Michael York, Susan George and Jeremy Kemp, amongst others. There are quite a few well known British faces amongst the cast including George A. Cooper - best known as Grange Hill caretaker "Mr. Griffiths". Directed by the late David Greene. Being a Susan George fan (in my opinion Susan George is one of the loveliest actresses ever to grace the screen), this is a total must-own for me. This rip (not by me) is not the greatest quality but it certainly does the job in a time where you can't get this movie on either video or dvd and is rarely shown on television (if ever at all). If there was one film I have been endlessly waiting for a high quality dvd release of - it would be this one. Unfortunately, what we have here is a dodgy rip from an old VHS but it is way better than nothing despite some jerkiness on the movement.
The plot: Michael York plays a rookie London policeman who is appalled at the corruption surrounding him. He does not find comfort in the fact that his own superior (Jeremy Kemp) is just as crooked as the crooks. Susan George - exploiting her jailbait sexiness to the full (as she did in her following starring roles in Twinky and Straw Dogs) is "Frederika" - an underaged hippie "mod" girl who seduces York and with whom a brief affair happens.
The Strange Affair is a superb slice of swinging sixties kino with great acting and memorable dialogue.
