Review of The Bed Sitting Room (1969) by Allan C — 22 Dec 2012
Farcical post-apocalyptic satire from director Richard Lester. The film takes place in England three years after a nuclear war. The film is mostly a series of vignettes, fewturing a terrific cast, taking place amongst rubble, but the main story focuses on a girl who lives in a London underground subway car and her parents moves out in the name of love.
There is also an odd story involving former Prime Minister Ralph Richardson believing that he is slowing turning into a bed sitting room. The film has some clever ideas and some memorable moments sprinkled throughout, which does make it worth watching, but the film doesn't really come together as a whole.
One of those bright moments in the film is the film debut of Marty Feldman. It's not for all tastes, but fans of British humor will probably enjoy it.
