Swinging London…we miss you! It didn’t last very long, but the phenomenon spawned countless movies and even more albums. Smashing Time starred Rita Tushingham and Lynne Redgrave as a couple of fish-out-of-water girls who have just arrived on the scene in Swinging London and try to make the best of having no money and nowhere to go.

It’s a Willy Wonka-style adventure without all the candy and child endangerment. Instead you get sexual coming-of-age, the music industry, and mod parties.

Smashing Time is sort of a cross between a 1967 time capsule and longform Carnaby Street music video. This movie is definitely a source text for the Austin Powers spoofs, and while parts of the movie are fairly insufferable, as a cultural artifact it’s fun to watch. Swinging London collectors and memorabilia junkies should definitely own the soundtrack album.
