@strangetown22 yeah true but I think it has worked out for them now ,but it surprising how few blacks were in the shot as it was on 68 and they arrived in notting hill as early as 57/58
Thanks for posting but this whole opening scene does not work. Many of the people on street look at the off screen camera filming Tom Courtenay walking through this scene. You can can see them eihter smiling or looking bemused at the camera.
.
Gave you 5 stars anyway for introducing this film to me. I am going to buy it.
It was a really great, quirky little film that I haven't seen on TV for over 30 years and I've never seen it out on DVD. Ranks alongside another little movie gem that I love "Morgan, A Suitable Case For Treatment" starring David Warner. Thanks for posting.
The character in the film is called Gerald Arthur Otley. It's set in West London. Although there is a Yorkshire connection as I believe that Tom Courtenay is from Hull, or close by.
just think the beatles were recording the white album at this time

Yes, things are much better in London now that it is filled with blacks and asians.
Enjoy your city or what's left of it.

@GoodieMike We have blacks and Asian-Americans in the States. They have made the USA a better country.

Once they go to college higher education kicks in:

And Asians from the middle east love to show their support for America:
