Original Title:

West 11

Hollowed by the hedonism of ’60s London, Alfred Lynch’s angry young man resorts to murder. While Michael Winner’s swinging social-realism isn’t exactly sincere, a certain authenticity seeps from West 11’s Notting Hill slums, a squalid dead-zone evocatively shot by Peeping Tom’s Otto Heller.

Evocatively shot but dated and lacking in a certain sincerity.
