Prioritize:
Oliver Reed was perfectly suited for this role, and it just fit him excellently. He could just play these eccentric lunatics uniquely, even though there might have been a bit too many of them. Here, however, he demonstrates that the early 70s could be quite daring and that there was plenty to watch. Definitely worth a watch. And maybe not just once. ()
