Product Description

BFI Flipside presents

MAN OF VIOLENCE aka MOON (DVD + Blu-ray)
A film by Pete Walker

THE FLIPSIDE : rescuing weird and wonderful British films from obscurity and presenting them in new high-quality editions.

In a world of gangs and villains, one man - Moon - will stop at nothing to get the girl and take the spoils. Pete Walker's affectionate low-budget homage to the gangster thriller is packed with sights and sounds from a Britain about to swing out of the sixties and into a somewhat less optimistic decade.

This release also includes The Big Switch (aka Strip Poker), Pete Walker's pulp thriller whose climatic shoot-out was filmed on Brighton's now destroyed West Pier.

Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Another interesting and, in some ways, rewarding film from BFI Flipside.

It verges on being categorized as that hallmark of late-sixties/early seventies film-making, a sexploitation film. But its production values raise it a bit above that, and there is probably not enough nudity to rank as sexploitation. But there is a very pleasing amount of attractive skin.

Leading the cast is young Michael Latimer, who you may recognize from The Avengers '67. He was a villain in an episode called 'Positive Negative Man' which also required him, as a conductor of a killing amount of electricity, to appear shirtless. Diana Rigg commented that his pecs weren't developed enough, but they are very pleasing, none-the-less. He was the quintessential 70's star: young, attractive, lean and lightly built, self-possessed. He also starred in Prehistoric Women with Martine Beswick and, for several seasons, on the police series Van der Valk, where he played it much straighter.

Latimer plays a victim here. After a one-night stand with a beautiful woman -- and, right off the bat, a good excuse to take his shirt off -- he is persuaded she is dead, and a gang blackmails him into helping them break a kingpin out of prison.

It's fun, and full of 70's fashions and colors. And, of course, the very pretty Michael Latimer.

Thanks to BFI for bringing the fun Flipside films out. They would have been neglected otherwise.
