Because it's Wednesday
I'm obsessed with mod culture and the 1960s, so for those of you who haven't had to listen to my babble about 60s style, I'd like to share a movie that is the pinnacle of swinging fashion. This 1967 gem, called "Smashing Time" stars Lynn Redgrave and Rita Tushingham as a couple of Northern Brits who head south to London to discover fame and pop stardom (Tag line: Two Girls Go Stark Raving Mod!). It's bad -- but in a very, very good way.
Here's is Redgrave's big moment in the film, where she invests her game show winnings to become a pop star. Get ready to drool over her incredibly bad taste and even worse singing voice. Take it away, Yvonne!
and, the groovy trailer:
