The Man Who Had Power Over Women (1970)
Director: John Krish
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A Swinging London PR man (Taylor), having marital problems, gets so sickened by adulteries and abortion after shepherding round a nasty bisexual pop idol (Francis) that he punches the idol and quits his slick agency. It's an obvious Awful Warning to all those teenyboppers with too much stardust in their eyes. Disappointing, as Krish's earlier work looked good.Author: RD
