| Description | 'You either have it or you don't. The knack, that is, of seduction. From the director of the Beatles' movies 'A Hard Day's Night' and 'Help!' comes this inventive and hilarious romp through love and sex in 1960s London. Featuring a wildly frenetic film-making style - careering from slapstick to serious to avant-garde - this 'genuinely dazzling' film is a mod masterpiece! Cool and sophisticated Tolen (Ray Brooks) has a monopoly on womanising - with a long line of conquests to prove it - while the naïve and awkward Colin (Michael Crawford) desperately wants a piece of it. But when Colin falls for an innocent country girl (Rita Tushingham), it's not long before the self-assured Tolen moves in for the kill. Is all fair in love and war, or can Colin get the knack and beat Tolen at his own game?'
