He claims, and I more than half believe him, that he refused to spy for them when he performed in East Germany; when they sent some woman agent to coax him he got furious and said wouldn't you like to go to hell and tell some of his friends. He thinks that they hate him because the woman was arrested a few months later and they think he was responsible, even though the woman always went about in purple...

By bringing a patient's repressed feelings into the open, truth drugs can be of considerable help in psychiatric therapy...
...with arch jokes, easily identified London streets, pathetic but not particularly likeable characters, and a lot of inexplicable movement that is intended to pass for gaiety. All the rushing around is punctuated with blurted moralisms that are supposed to give the film some depth; as Jos tries to coax her back to bed, guiltstricken Georgy worries about her roommate's baby, born two hours earlier, and observes that "God always has a custard pie up his sleeve...
