“Somewhere between public information film and sensationalised documentary, Arnold Louis Miller’s 1964 film London in the Raw not inadvertently captures the contradiction between the reserved nature of the English people and their conflicted attitudes towards the growing permissive society that was changing rapidly in the post-war years. It’s also an opportunity to legitimately show naked women on the screen”

What’s it called again? I think I missed him saying it
Oooh, the sixties.
Peter Cook and Roy Kinnear were in that last bit – did I miss Dudley Moore?
…The Hell?????
Is this all meant to be from the same film? It starts off like it’s going to be some lurid, sensationalistic pseudo-documentary on Swingin’ London night life, strip clubs & drug parties, then it suddenly takes a hard left turn into some kind of Monty Pythonesque post apocalyptic comedy.
My thoughts exactly. I think the common theme here is “strange movies from England”, though the two have as much in common as “Reefer Madness” and a Jerry Lewis comedy.
The second half of the clip are scenes from The Bed Sitting Room, a post-apocalyptic comedy by Richard Lester from the late 1960s. It’s an excellent film and well worth watching.
The first half seems to be some kind of documentary about the “underground culture” of 1960s London.
