Bronco Bullfrog // Dir Barney Platts-Mills / 86 mins / 1969

Seventeen-year-old Del and fifteen-year-old Irene suffer the perennial problems of teenage lovers - no money and nowhere to go. Del's resentful, suspicious dad and Irene's uptight, comically snobbish mum only make things worse. So they turn for help to old friend 'Bronco Bullfrog', fresh out of borstal and pursuing an enviably independent lifestyle. A wonderful time capsule of late 60s London - from the brutalist tower blocks and bomb sites of the East End to the trashy glamour of the West End - this is filmmaking with a spontaneity, wit and endearing humanity that still feels strikingly fresh.

Showing with the short 'I'm British But...'
