An early cinematic effort from John Mackenzie UNMAN WITTERING AND ZIGO is one of these films you vaguely remember watching years ago and despite having an instinctive memory of it as not being very good something about it sticks in your mind . This was the case with me and thought perhaps being 15 years old Carolyn Seymour's Silvia Ebony who sizzles repressed sexuality might have had everything to do with that but there's more to it than mere teenage hormones . What it is that the premise is very persuasive and what might have been an outrageous idea does become somewhat credible
The problem is that it doesn't seem developed all that well . Watching it after a gap of decades I was constantly reminded of how stagey some parts of the film were and wasn't in the least surprised that coming to this page I found out it was originally a play by Giles Cooper . Mackenzie probably tries his best to make it a cinematic film but this isn't really the sort of premise that can be all that cinematic since it's a small type of thriller and the screenplay isn't all that special
