The Boy Friend

Twiggy, Tommy Tune w/d Ken Russell

Wonderful tribute to the stupid musicals that dazzled rubes in the early thirties. Twiggy is adorable (and a good dancer), the tone is appropriately hokey, the costumes incredible (done by KR's wife), the elaborate choreography a fine tribute to the best of Busby Berkeley.

Fast-paced, wildly colorful, silly...this is one of his best. A treat for all cinephiles...
