Review

Director David Batty’s glorious documentary isn’t the first to savour Britain in the Swinging Sixties, but to have Michael Caine as the MC adds vivid personal insight. As usual, Caine supplies plenty of sharp anecdotes, but the star is also emotionally invested, being a working-class kid who made good from the nation bursting out of its grey, postwar chrysalis into a youthful, colourful world of fashion, art and music, where class didn’t matter.

Terrific archive is matched by pithy off-screen observations from the famous movers and (hippy-hippy) shakers of the time – David Bailey, Twiggy, Paul McCartney, Mary Quant, Roger Daltrey, Marianne Faithfull – and a rousing soundtrack.
