Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Typist Janette Scott signs up for a beauty contest and before long she's wearing the 'Miss Globe' crown and sash in this vapid would-be exposé. The path to the gutter is, however, as swift as it is predictable. Shot in 'Scope with guest appearances by, among others, Sid James, Sterling Moss and the Duchess of Bedford.

    Posted on Apr 27 2009 11:47 Highly entertaining. My favourtite film of all time. I saw it at the Regal Cinema in Edmonton, North London in September 1964. I've only seen it three times on television since then. Can anyone tell me why it's not available on DVD or video tape?
