    What a shame no one will ever see this. Gave it a 10/10 because I'm sure it was amazing

    I discovered this movie when I clicked on a random person's IMDb username. It was one of the TV episodes in a list they had created of other shows/made for television movies - I think they were all from the BBC. Too bad this can't be found anywhere. Oh well. It would've been cool to watch Michael Caine when he was 28. Guess it's one of those lost treasures...
