Also: It's interesting to think about the progress from the time between #TheLeatherBoys and #SmashingTime .

In THE LEATHER BOYS (1964), they can't even verbalize "gay", but by the time SMASHING TIME (1967) rolls around, there are several openly #LGBTQ characters - including #MurrayMelvin ! - in small roles.

I haven’t laughed out loud in a movie in years!

Some of the “comedic” set pieces are a drag (too many food fights) but the cultural satire is *STILL* up-to-the-minute and relevant!

It’s a silly movie; what makes it stand out is:

• #RitaTushingham & #LynnRedgrave , in the midst of all this silliness, really invest in Brenda & Yvonne’s friendship. As a viewer, you really believe that Brenda would go to these ridiculous lengths for her friend!
They couldn’t sell that ending if we didn’t really believe in their friendship, and it’s their dramatic backgrounds that grounds it.

• The cultural satire: music industry, art world, media, even reality tv gets a poke!
Plus other references that went over my head!

• A time capsule of 60s London, including incredible over-the-top fashions!

OBVIOUSLY I am gonna have to draw Brenda & Yvonne for 2025!

#LynnRedgrave is absolutely adorable!

The way she actually says “tee hee!” when she laughs!
🌈🤣🌈
I haven’t laughed out loud this much in a long time!

#SmashingTime

This is such a fun movie!

I was going to say that I think #RitaTushingham is actually funnier in dramatic roles, but she’s still hiLARious here and is a master class in mugging!

“Well, I *might* have to take something temporary, til I can get something dreamy; you know, MAKE IT.”

She cracks me up!

… and now it’s time for #RitaTushingham in #SmashingTime !

I’m surprised by the caricature of her in the opening credits! It would have hurt my feelings!
The artist *did* capture #LynnRedgrave , though!
