Product Description

Product Description

Age-gap romantic comedy, 1960s style, starring Charles Bronson and Susan George. Scott (Bronson) is a middle-aged American author of erotica living in the UK. He meets and falls for Twinky (George) - a sprightly, beautiful young woman of 'almost 20'. Despite the age gap, things go smoothly and the two lovers soon elope to Scotland to tie the knot. Twinky's parents are less than enamored of the idea - primarily because Twinky is not 20 - she's 16. Scott tries to make things work though, and takes Twinky back to New York to meet his friends who are also sceptical of the affair's authenticity. The cast is practically a who's who of '60s British film including Jack Hawkins, Robert Morley and Trevor Howard. 'Twinky' portrays the swingin' view of London fashionable abroad at the time and was one of many reasonably successful films Bronson starred in during his European phase.

5.0 out of 5 starsAt long last a decent print of this fabulous 60s classic!
By FAMOUS NAME VINE VOICE on 10 Sept. 2008
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! : - )

3.0 out of 5 starsMore a swinging 60s comedy than another Lolita
By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on 18 Feb. 2009
Format: DVD
A favorite of public domain DVD labels, Twinky aka Lola aka London Affair is a curious beast, more time capsule than anything else. Certainly it's hard to imagine its tale of Charles Bronson's writer of dirty books marrying spoiled 16-year-old schoolgirl Susan George as a zany comedy. There's certainly more style than substance, much of it ironically borrowed from Richard Lester's 60s films - ironic because director Richard Donner would later fall out with Lester after he was fired from Superman II. It's one of those films that, aside from cashing in on Lolita, it's hard to see why or for who it was actually made. The plot isn't exactly taxing - when her parents find out they get married, move to New York, fight and split up - so the film tries to make up for it with anarchic editing, the odd fantasy scene or crash-zoom cutaways to various hypocrites such as Trevor Howard's respectable grandfather who's rather fond of young girls himself. Susan George is convincingly irritating and shallow as the precocious teen, but perhaps too convincing: sure she looks good in her school uniform but she's so annoying you can't understand why Charlie married her. Yet if it's not terribly convincing, it's also resolutely inoffensive with the odd funny moment amid all the stylistic shenanigans. There's a surprisingly strong supporting cast - Honor Blackman, Paul Ford, Jack Hawkins, Robert Morley, Lionel Jeffries among them - and Jim Dale's oh so Sixties songs are guiltily enjoyable. You may not know quite what to make of it all, but it passes an hour-and-a-half surprisingly easily.

Network's DVD may be the best on the market, but the picture quality is still a little soft and the picture goes from widescreen to cropped fullframe after the title sequence. A modest extras package includes a 15-minute 1975 interview with Susan George that focuses on Straw Dogs and a stills gallery.

3.0 out of 5 starsLightly Serious
By Roger G. Taylor on 27 July 2007
Format: DVD
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. This is such a film of 2 haves too.
The 1st half, which is fairy-tale and comic and which you feel is just a light feel-good humourous movie, suddenly turns around in the 2nd into a serious dark painful (with even a nightmareish sequence) look at the devastating consequences to a Lolita-like adolescent-woman of the loosening and eventual loss of her initial hold on a mature man.
She displays an emotionally intensity of the love such "a coming but not there yet girl-woman" can feel but because it is based mostly on pure emotion (and not a little sex appeal) the love she displays is always vulnerable to being lost when inevitably the routine pressures of life of the man needing to earn a living means that at some point the fantasy merry-go-round must be dismounted.
When its time to get off this leads to painful choices between the 2 parties. To the one more shocking and traumatic than to the other.
We see glimpses of the waxing and then the film following the inevitable bumpy ride when contradictory feelings tug at the Bronson character's internal war between fascination and frustration. The wane is always there lurking in the background and then comes to the fore.
There comes a moment in the film, a defining moment for the film and which is built up to really well.
Although the 2 haves analogy works up to a point with the contrived light-touch humour contrasted to the very dark and serious episodes it then reverts to, if not a happy ending, then at least a reversion to lightness.Read more ›
