...directorial debut, Finney, who also plays the title role, has taken on a stupefyingly familiar theme: the writer who has sold out to Mammon. Wretched in his wealth, Charlie stumbles through life drunk, debauched and dull, until he decides to go home again to revisit his ex-wife and child in the North Country, where he was born. With him is a migratory bird (Liza Minnelli) who has journeyed from America to be his secretary. Their trip rapidly becomes a descent into the hell of present-day materialistic England.

He has two recondite versions of Kern's Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, which was an early failure, having begun its existence, startlingly enough, as a military march called I'm Marching Off to War.
