ANTI Reviews

| | I think young people are quite bad enough; we don't want them to get any worse. This film would give them quite the wrong sort of stimulant. That is what I think about it and I would not pass it. It is not right to excite young people to have a row and go against authority. It is a dangerous form of excitement. Also it is a bad film, there is no story, and the repetition of fighting and brutality is monotonous. | | | | (Novelist Ursula Bloom, Evening Standard) | | The censorship ban gave the film an aura of significance it never deserved | | | | (Margaret Hinxman, 1968) | | A strangely purposeless film. I think the main reason... is that [it] is a directorless film... Its point of view is too generalised. | | | (Paul Mayersberg, New Society, 1968) | | I am tempted to call it, by contemporary standard of slaughter, The Mild One. | | | (Cecil Wilson, Daily Mail, 1968) | | To a generation caught up in the metaphysics of Bonnie and Clyde, it's Desperate Dan in a leather jacket. They'll fall asleep. | | | | (Paul Pickering, Sunday Express, 1968) |
