For the moment, the rare 60s, social comment, classic film : "Privilege" (director, Peter Watkins) : is available for viewing (in 14 parts) on YouTube.

See it while you can.

For some great write-ups on the importance of this film to our present time, checkout :

and from the Director himself, see :

The film features white English blues singer, Paul Jones (Manfred Mann, Blues band etc) and iconic 60s model, Jean Shrimpton (amongst others of course!).


I'd love to see Watkins' other ever-relevant films too : "Punishment Park" - and "The War Game" and "Edvard Munch" ...


Cheers! R-J

Of course, if you've the interest and the patience, you can download the film via YouTubex.com ...
I actually did this, but found that parts 10 and 12 would not download (not even using Leechget download manager) - very frustrating!!

any clues, anyone?!

My wish has been granted!

I believe that both Punishment Park AND The War Game have been uploaded to YouTube!!
