West 11 (1963)
9/10
Boredom and Crime
23 March 2024
Michael Winner dined out for the rest of his life for testing but not casting Julie Christie for a part in this reminder of those far-off days when even Winner couldn't fail to make a watchable film

Another of that select band of films upon whose behalf fate intervened in the winter of 1963 by covering London in a picturesque covering of snow and employing probably the best cast Winner ever worked with - ranging from Finlay Currie to Francesca Annis - just the title and date tell you that you're in for a treat; with a witty script by Waterhouse & Hall, technical collaborators of the calibre of Otto Heller and designer Robert Jones (the latter with obvious relish placing Tretchikoff's 'Green Lady' on the wall of Diana Dors' apartment) and Mr Acker Bilk on the soundtrack.
