Privilege--1967--Peter Watkins
A dystopian tale of fascists controlling a pop singer to help anesthetize the populace.

A discussion...

Seriously. One time viewing. Nearly 40 years ago. I saw this on PBS while babysitting one night in roughly 1970 or so, and its images--and message--have been with me ever since.

Yay!

1. Privilege is an Excellent movie....

The late 60's into the 70's really was the golden age of
thoughtful imagination in film script writing.

Here is an amazing photo Paul Jones and Jean Shrimpton, together,
from the film. She was as wildly popular as Twiggy.

2. Hey...you've seen it ?!

Cool. Have you been able to revisit it across the years? Has it been on TV?

Like I said, I only saw it once when I was 11 or 12. Anyhow, thanks for the reply and the photo....

:hi:

3. Yes, it has.....I am in the.....

SoCal (TV) market and I believe I saw it again in the 80's.

according to what the sales promo says for the Privilege DVD release...it is suppose to have
some 60's news reel footage (Brit, I'm sure). Should be great fun to watch.
