 The Boy
Friend
1971 (GB) 125mins. Russflix
Producer and Director: Ken Russell
Synopsis: Musical. Based around Sandy Wilson's musical
stageplay of the same title, Russell's extravagant production storms
between delightful tackiness and exuberant fantasy in pastiche of 1920's
stage musical (after Wilson) and Busby Berkeley's film musicals of the
30s. Twiggy plays Polly Browne, nervous stage manager of a production of
"The Boy Friend" who is obliged to take the place of Rita,
leading lady, (Glenda Jackson) who sprained her ankle. Russell's film
follows the performance, which is a distaste onstage and off, as the cast
compete for the attention of De Thrill, a Hollywood director in the
audience. Simultaneously we follow the romantic entanglement of Polly and
Tony, played by the young, blue-eyed blonde Christopher Gable.
Cast Includes: TWIGGY (Polly Browne), Christopher Gable (Tony
Brockhurst), Barbara Windsor (Hortense), Tommy Tune (Tommy) and Moyra
Fraser (Madame Dubonnet)
