Probably my favourite of the later Hitchcocks'. Quite a horrid film in many ways, but benefiting from great performances by Barry Foster as the murderer and the wonderful Vivian Merchant as the copper's wife. She was the best thing about 'Alfie'; had the grave misfortune of having once been married to Harold 'champagne socialist' Pinter.
^ Covent Garden pubs as well.
I don't get what it's got to do with Swinging London...
I remember that I liked the movie, too...
London had probably stopped swinging by the time the film came out - if, indeed, it ever swung at all beyond a marketing campaign.
