Fully agree, and the London location work makes it even more enjoyable. No Blade Of Grass is another excellent (if nasty) British futuristic shocker.

No official release to my knowledge. I've got an excellent quality pirate copy which is uncut (restoring the rape scene cut from the video) and also features production notes and Wendy Richard interview. I don't know if this is still available but the (UK) seller can still be found on Google. |

That was the recording I used to have before replacing it with the DVD. Nasty film in parts but well acted and Nigel Davenport is excellent (as usual). Cornel Wilde also directed the brilliant Beach Red. |

Thankfully I've still got the video. My parents saw it on the cinema when it was first released in the late 60's though strangely the only BBFC listing is for the video.
