Synopsis

Enigmatic young Melina (Louise Sorel) has fallen in with a group of Chelsea beatniks, catching the attention of the gang's defiant leader Moise (Oliver Reed). But wild and drunken partying has terrible consequences, and when Melina's fiancée Carson (Clifford David) begins investigating, the shocking truth is revealed.

Written by Marc Behm (Help!) and scored by John Barry, this controversial film originally fell foul of the British censors, forcing director Guy Hamilton to remove his name from the credits. Now it is available for the first time in the unedited pre-release version.
