On the heels of his most controversial, allegedly “blasphemous” film, Ken Russell “took a break” by delivering one of his most meticulously-detailed, ambitious, and opulent films: a sprawling musical parody of the vaudevillian styles of the early 20th century and the Early Hollywood Musical…starring Twiggy! (She’s really good in it!).

Cinematographer: David Watkin

For any sydcarmy enjoyers I recommend the tv series Boiling Point! It's basically a sequel to the movie of the same name but it's not necessary to watch the movie first. It feels like it could be an AU sydcarmy fic (fyi tho the main chefs are platonic lol, and actually it's a pretty good example of platonic relationships in the kitchen and only hammers home how not platonic sydcarmy are 😭)

Ooh! Thanks for the rec! I've been wanting to watch the movie since Taz Skylar's in it, but I'll definitely check out the series as well if I can. I love the premise!
