I really liked this movie, but I want to see it again, I can't remember who Lee plays. Anyway, the story is good, and the movie is dramatic and exciting while showing you what the beatnik scene was like at the time.

"My Mother was a stripper...I want to be a stripper too!" British Sleaze B-Movie! By no means a masterpiece but funny to watch. Cool jazzy, rock n roll, beatnik soundtrack too.
