Les Bicyclettes de Belsize 1968. 30 minutes
What a courious little gem of a film Made in 1968 as a short filler for the film Twisted Nerve (the films shared a soundtrack release as well) and Staring Judy Huxtable and Anthony May. The film revolves around the man May) riding around Hampstead area of London on his bike, and crashing into the billbord of the woman Huxtable) and falling in love with her. A sub plot follows a young girl who also falls for the man (May).
Coriously the Belsize park area doesn't really come into the film much despite the films title, although Hamstead is close enough to it.
The film is a bit comedy, more a musical, and a hint of love story. What makes it a gem is goos acting, a fun plot and good music, indeed the theme went into the top 10 sung by Englebert Humperdinck.
Well worth a watch if you can find it.
