Ann Jellicoe

An authored film by Margaret Drabble about the rise of the suburbs and the failure of city planning.

A nebbish schoolteacher begs his smooth (and misogynistic) pal to teach him 'the knack' - how to score with women. Serendipitously, the men meet up with a new girl in town, as well as a friendly lunatic who can’t help but paint things white.
