The rise and fall of a salesman whose erratic career brings him into contact with a variety of eccentric characters, endangering his life and sanity. Satirical drama, starring Malcolm McDowell, Ralph Richardson, Arthur Lowe, Helen Mirren and Rachel Roberts
In the powder-keg political environment of the late sixties, Lindsay Anderson launched a pop-culture Molotov cocktail into British cinemas with his stunningly subversive If…., an anarchic vision of rebellion at a British boarding school starring Malcolm McDowell as the everyman turned guerrilla revolutionary Mick Travis. In two subsequent films—the freewheeling anti-establishment epic O Lucky Man! and the divisive gonzo comedy Britannia Hospital—Anderson and McDowell continued to trace the story of the Travis character and his outlandish adventures in a through-the-looking-glass England.
