Michael Winner . It starsOliver Reed as disillusionedLondon advertising executive Andrew Quint, who revolts against his boss, Jonathan Lute (played byOrson Welles ), and escapes intoSwinging London .In the
United States , the film was denied aMPAA seal of approval due to a scene between Oliver Reed andCarol White which implied (but did not actually show)oral sex (Winner, in his audio commentary, said he considered the scene to showmasturbation . TheCatholic League inaccurately described it as "fellatio ," even though it is the woman who is receiving.) Universal distributed the film through a subsidiary that was not a member of the MPAA. Along with a similar scene in "Charlie Bubbles " (1967), this helped to bring about the end of theProduction Code in the USA and its replacement with a ratings system.The film is often named as the first mainstream film to use the word "
fuck " in its dialogue. Another contender is "Ulysses", which was released the same year.The film deals with creativity and commercialism. Quint attempts to get back at his boss by making a negative-commercial reusing themes from earlier in the film, including Lute saying "The number one product of all human endeavor is waste...waste." The commercial, advertising a
Super-8 camera talks about capturing events while you still can before everything is destroyed and discarded. It ends with Quint operating acar crusher destroying numerous camera. The commercial is hailed as a masterpiece, and in disgust, Quint hurls the award into theThames .Cast
