Kanner directed the film. I'd never seen it before, though I remember it being reviewed on TV (probably by Barry Norman) when it was released. Online opinion seems to be divided between its being an unacknowledged work of genius and something akin to "The Wild Women of Wongo". I think it definitely has something, and is certainly worth a look:
Wow, thanks. I will be watching this one later this week. And I DID actually watch "Wild Women of Wongo" about ten years ago!
