On the Make

A fast moving drama gioccoso aimed at women, homosexuals... and Jews. Nabokovian aesthetic. Set in Islington, and punctuated with unedifying excursions to Berlin, this is a tale of two sisters and their menfolk—of whom the younger seems to have acquired one extra. A property developer kowtows to convention—hoping to make his fortune. A German-Jewish regisseur, defies it—hoping to make his. The time is the Swinging Sixties. Pop artists, spies, prostitutes, philanthropists and other parasites enjoy their infamous decade—and invite us to enjoy it with them.
