- Ahead of it's time - A forgotten masterpiece!
Saw this on TV about 25 years ago, and liked it then, although didn't quite realise at that time how sophisticated it was. Some things aren't as good as you remember them to be, and other things are better - this is definitely in the latter category.

Catch Us If You Can was filmed in the Winter of 1964, and released in 1965. It is sandwiched in between the Beatles two classics, and this film begins very much in the style of A Hard Day's Night - quick editing, fast one liners, the boys leading a zany lifestyle, all living together in a cool pad - bit like the Monkees template. But it soon settles into something far more substantial in terms of the themes it deals with - the cynical manipulation of advertising, dreams versus reality, ... Read More:

- Funtastic Britpop movie
Boorman dives into his film career with zest as he captures the essence of the 60s music and youth culture scene in full swing. Similar to Lester's Beatles films, but without the gimmicks and camera tricks, Boorman goes instead for a flowing but quirky narrative, with well conceived scenes in great locations.

- I'm so jealous !
Living here in the U.S. this film is not available.
I loved the DC5 and this movie, though somewhat weird,
is great. I hope it is available soon.

- Thumping great movie
At last, Catch Us if You Can available on DVD!
This wonderful film is John Boorman's first movie. It has a heavily documentary feel, as Dave Clark and a girl - followed by the group - escape commercial London and travel across the wintry wastes of Britain pursued by the advertising company who wants the girl back for their Meat for Go campaign. The film ends at the derelict hotel on Burgh Island.
Manny Wynn's photography is wonderfully atmospheric, and the stylish filmmaking that made Point Blank such a classic is evident here.
Peter Nichols wrote the screenplay and was not a little miffed when his friend Charles Wood revealed he'd got the job to script Help!, leaving Nichols with the Dave Clark Five. However, Help! has not aged ... Read More:

- Unusual Sixties Pop Film
When you think of sixties pop films you normally think of the Beatles but here is a forgotten classic. John Boorman directs this unusual, downbeat film with sixties faves the Dave Clark Five. Band leader Dave Clark takes the main role in this tale of a TV stuntman who goes off on an adventure with an unhappy leading lady. Their attempt to escape involves a few odd encounters with homeless people, a swinging couple and the nasty men in suits who track them. Despite what film guides say, this is not a high spirited romp, more a thoughtful film about how business controls the arts, how other lifestyles are available and how empty your dreams can be. It is far more realistic and challenging than the average lightweight pop musical. The locations are striking ... Read More:
