The Flipside presents
PSYCH SUNSPLASH ‘67

HERE WE GO ROUND THE MULBERRY BUSH
UK 1967. Dir Clive Donner. 96 mins.

Was it really forty years ago? Don’t miss this rare chance to see Hunter Davies’ underrated kaleidoscope vision of youth culture 1967 style. Forgotten teen heartthrob Barry Evans plays a virginal sixth former delivering groceries for the local supermarket – but his interests lie elsewhere – namely with gorgeous Mary, Linda, Paula and Caroline! Revel in this illusory swirling Swinging Sixties concoction, featuring fab sounds from The Spencer Davis Group and Stevie Winwood’s Traffic.

A VALENTINE FOR TONY BLACKBURN AND BARRY EVANS
UK 1968. Dir Unknown. 2 mins.

Fake sentiment and cheesy smiles a go go as the two hunks receive their cards, in this weird unfinished cinemagazine item.

Plus

IN GEAR (LOOK AT LIFE)
UK 1967. Dir Unknown. 9 mins.

Take a trip into London’s grooviest boutiques with the ‘It’ girls, ‘Oomph’ girls, and the ‘Who’s For Tennis?’ girls, stopping off in Soho to purchase some Pop Art spats. Terrific!

Hunter Davies, novelist and screenwriter of “Here we go Round the Mulberry Bush”, will answer questions after the screening. Introduced by Vic Pratt and Will Fowler, Curators BFI National Archive.
