Kino Lorber announced today that they are preparing a Blu-ray release of Desmond Davis' comedy
Smashing Time (1967), starring Rita Tushingham, Lynn Redgrave, Michael York, Anna Quayle, Ian Carmichael, George A. Cooper, Peter Jones, and Jeremy Lloyd. The release will be available for purchase on August 14.
Synopsis: Carnaby Street will never be the same after Rita and Lynn embark on a "mod" adventure to fulfill their dreams of excitement and success. In the beginning, they stick together and get by working as cocktail hostesses and dish washers. However, their luck changes in no time and they part ways while swinging into fame, Redgrave as a recording star and Tushingham as "the face of the 1970's." It is not until they meet again that they realize even Smashing Times must come to an end!
