...YOU'RE IN LUCK!
Being that it was a British production, I hadn't even heard about it until recently. And since it was very "Clash themed", I had to check out LONDON TOWN. It was a nice, not-totally believable late-70's period piece that breezed by in about 90 minutes. And you also get to hear "(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais" again, which will surely put a smile on your face.
I couldn't really buy all of the adult life responsibilities the boy was saddled with, nor could I see the Clash's lead singer befriending a high school kid to that degree, but I just went with it.
I was unfamiliar with all of the actors except D. Scott, N. McElhone & Jonathan Rhys Meyers (as Joe Strummer), but they were all quite serviceable. The lead (Daniel Huttlestone) looks like somebody we may be seeing big things from down the road.
So do check this out if you're still a fan of the Clash all these years later.
