Robert, the first two episodes: Oh, my God! What an orgy of delights!
Interviews and comment from directors Schlesinger, Richardson, Loach,
Reisz and Lester. Period talk by Albert Finney, Julie Christie,
Terence Stamp and Michael Caine. Rita and Lynn riding in a car
together, talking about Swinging London. Cliff Richard talking
about "A Hard Day's Night". Writers Alun Owen and Frederic Raphael
discussing "A Hard Day's Night" and "Darling". There are TOO many
icons packed into these episodes. It's the Holy Grail of '60s British
filmaking. I'd seen the "Billy Liar" segment, which is excerpted in
the Criterion DVD for "Billy Liar", but that's just a fraction of
what's on these episodes. I'm absolutely stunned, knocked out and
overwhelmed at how much they crammed in.
