British label Network Releasing has provided us with a promotional clip for its upcoming Blu-ray release of Herbert Wise's The Lovers! (1973), starring Richard Beckinsale, Paula Wilcox, Susan Littler, and Rosalind Ayres. The release will be available for purchase on February 14.
Label description: Reprising the classic sitcom roles that first made them household names, Richard Beckinsale and Paula Wilcox star as Geoffrey and Beryl – an inexperienced young couple attempting to negotiate the sexual minefield of the 'permissive' society. This big-screen transfer of Jack Rosenthal's top-rated comedy series sees old-fashioned girl Beryl continuing to slap down the advances of her frustrated boyfriend – whose clumsy attempts to initiate 'Percy Filth' suggest he's not quite up to speed himself! The Lovers! is featured here as a brand-new High Definition restoration from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
Like everyone else Geoffrey and Beryl want to fall in love – or they think they do; like everyone else since Adam and Eve. But Adam and Eve didn't live in Manchester in 1972...
