By FAMOUS NAME
VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
Congratulations to Network for releasing this (I love them!!)
After several dreadful prints from unknown companies that were like watching the movie through the bottom of a dirty beer glass, thanks to the fabulous 'Network' (who always get it right) we finally have an excellent copy of this 60s classic!
This was probably the first time Susan George came to my attention - the 'original' and only 'Twinky'! I think I was about thirteen or fourteen when I first saw this, and it immediately had an impact on me since I was at that age when I was always fantasising about having a relationship with an older guy. Okay, so Bronson is not so good-looking, but it was the 'age' thing - falling in love (or perhaps simply having a crush on such an older man) with an older guy that was so attractive. But it's a time in your life that needs to 'freeze' , 'coz it just don't work for long...
This has the great and catchy number for its theme song which was sung by Jim Dale that I always remember and sticks in my head long after the movie is over. No re-make would ever be the same or so innocent as this, or Twinky be so marvellously played by anybody but George - even though an unusual one for Bronson - he plays it great too.
Some humorous moments in this, including one of many classic lines: (The Sergeant to Twinky) 'Is your daddy in?' (Twinky replies) 'He's not my daddy, he's my boyfriend'!
This movie is full of nostalgia for me.
Three cheers for Networkl! : - )

Not your normal Charles Bronson film, makes interesting entry into his European catalogue of films.
The film is possible an open matt copy as the film frame edges can be clearly seen on either side. The credits are shown in a wide screen format that pulls out once into the film.
Both leads give a fine performance & although the image is a little soft a much better presentaion than the awful public domain dvds under the title Lola or London Affair.
Not a great film, but not bad either.

Very odd and slightly unnerving, not least because my late father has a bit part in it as a policeman. Salvaged in places by some classic shots of London on film and hilariously cheesy music it's worth a hungover Sunday when you can't quite focus..

A strange tale of intergenarational love. With the increasing revelations about the sexual abuse of young girls by celebrities it casts this film in a very different light

Bemused isn't the word, I felt just like Lola reading that book at the table. Looking forward to the pace and the story, and the retro feel of the film. Read more

More a swinging 60s comedy than another Lolita
A favorite of public domain DVD labels, Twinky aka Lola aka London Affair is a curious beast, more time capsule than anything else. Read more

Lightly Serious
Sports commentators often talk of "a game of two halves" meaning a complete transformation and contrast of the standard of play and domination between the two contending teams. Read more

And this man gave us Lethal Weapon ?
