We can consider it a priceless jewel. In fact, apart from the story itself, it is a plunge into the past, not at all contrived since this film was actually shot in 1970. A quiet London, a truly British atmosphere, with sober and funny dialogues (priceless the last exchange of lines between the two protagonists, while their woman takes off). The three main characters played by three fantastic actors, perfectly at ease, do what British cinema does best: be perfect (how can one not notice for instance the theatrical performance of David Warner-Lord Dorset). Watching it today, one longs for an era of optimism made up of beautiful cars, pretty girls in miniskirts, an airport not in a state of war that seems to offer anyone at any time the possibility of escaping to exotic and adventurous destinations without too many controls. A must-see, because it never bores and makes one spend some time in serenity.
