rdoyle29 Charles Bronson stars as an American author in his thirties living in England who marries his 16 year old girlfriend Susan George. They move to NYC and suffer through the shocking predicament that people don't understand their relationship and that they don't really get along all that well anyway. A fantastic supporting cast ... Honor Blackman, Jack Hawkins, Trevor Howard, Robert Morley ... are consistently wasted in this really annoying comedy. I usually love George, but she is nails- on-a-chalkboard annoying here.

bkoganbing In watching this film I was reminded of the May/December romance of Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow which was all the news a year or two earlier. I think that's where the author got his inspiration.Charles Bronson is a writer of pornographic novels who's having an affair with teenage Susan George in swinging London of the sixties. For convention sake and to escape a charge of statutory rape, they marry. They don't find life easy either in London with her family or in New York with his. Basically that's the film and I agree with other reviewers that the movie had no real point to it.Who's bright idea was it to have Bronson as a writer of pornography. That added nothing to the film except make him look like a dirty middle aged man.One of his worst and I can't believe so many talented people got roped into this one.

whpratt1 Susan George explodes with great acting and a very sexy performance with Bronson, they make a fantastic couple running around London and New York City, in the late 60's. It is a very sweet love story, and you warm to these two actors, with a few laughs in between. Paul Ford, Trevor Howard and Jack Hawkins give fantastic supporting roles.

katemcgregorau This one's a bit of a spoiler.The sixties and the sexual revolution was a wonderful era as many people finally saw their sexually liberated selves and/or their fantasies on the silver screen for the first time. Unfortunately it also led to a lot of half-baked wish-fulfillment movies, such as this one - where a much older man, little Charlie Bronson in too tight jeans, falls in love with the Britney Spears-esque English rose, Twinky.What could have been an enlightening comedy of how two people's minds meet despite a large age gap, and the reactions of the staid British society to them, is instead a featherweight story with ridiculous plotting and superficial characterisation.Scant attention is paid to how the two meet or how they fall in love, instead the film shows twinky riding to meet Charles resplendent in kinky school uniform and Bronson looking off into the middle distance as a passable attempt at pretending to be in love. After the initial interaction between the two in Bronno's flat (Twinky burns his breakfast - hilarious!!) they rush off to Scotland to get married, Twinky rushes off to show her school friends her new bloke, then the pair rush off to New York to meet his family.All this rushing means the movie gets sillier and sillier as Twinky joins a protest, Charlie B goes to prison and the viewer doesn't know what absurd event will happen next. With the final denouement, a fight where Charles gets a bit shirty cos Twinky is distracting him and so she hides for three days, my patience finally wore out - these two people have nothing in common and never have, for the entire length of the film. Even when Twinky returns for England the viewer was left with a sense of the ridiculous as why would they divorce after their very first fight?Insomnia has a lot to answer for - I was up at 2am watching this messy film, I saw it through to the end but I have to say it was bit too silly. My only recommendation would be to watch is as a good example of the aforementioned sexual wish-fulfillment and of sixties fashion, or if you just can't sleep!
