Two and Two Make Six

Jocelyn Lane and Janette Scott didn't need Chakiris and the other actor. A movie just about the two girls would have been fine. No actress today can match Lane in her prime for sexiness, seductive powers and beauty.

Loved seeing these old British movies on Talking Pictures TV, and this is up there with the best. Never a smash at the time apparently, but reminiscing never hurt anyone. Exciting motorcycle action scenes at the beginning, and comedic plot turns, keep the viewer hooked. Stellar performance from Janette Scott holds the whole thing together. Recommended.

Given the pedigree of the writer it is rather surprising that this film is so unappealing,maybe its because George Chakitis s character is so obnoxious. Odd characters pop up bur are unable to enliven this.

Flush with with having just won an Oscar, cameramen Freddie Francis got his first chance to direct. Soon typecast as a maker of horror films he however started with this 'saucy' little youth comedy shot on location in which a blossoming young Janette Scott wore leather and yank leading man George Chakiris claimed to be Canadian. Eccentric locals are played by Athene Seyler as a dotty old aunt who quotes John Gay and reads 'Lady Chatterly' and Malcolm Keen as a drunken old thespian who recites Shakespeare.
