Three Swings On A Pendulum - 1967 - 6/10

Listed as a documentary, this is a peculiar artifact from Swinging London.
Three outsiders, an Aussie, a Frenchman, an African, row up the Thames into the capital.
They explore several shops (this screams for color), chat with the locals.
The reserved English open up and are surprisingly forthright.
Older folks enjoy the 60’s moment, London as Zeitgeist.
Younger, more thoughtful interviewees, regard the time as passing.
Mass adoption of hairstyles, fashions, merely another method of conformity.
Again, this is a curio, and not an in-depth overview of the heady era.
