4/10
A boring story with boring people in pretty settings.

Warning: Spoilers
After a while, pretty locations, fun retro fashions and a nice musical score get lost in the shuffle in this drama of forbidden romance between cousins who happened to be born on the same day. Hywel Bennett and Jane Asher are close from birth, and when they grow up travel around with his girlfriend (Leigh Taylor Young) and her current boyfriend (Sven-Bertil Taube). Those two seem to be suspicious of the cousins, a slap from Young having her storm out on Bennett when she catches him staring at Asher while they're kissing.

A more permissive code meant that controversial subjects could now be done on screen, and not all of them work. I didn't like any of these characters all that much to notice any real chemistry between the two cousins or any of the others they were involved in. There's a lot to gawk at with exotic hotspots, but after a while, it's all pretty boring. Definitely very dated, and the controversy is all for nothing because of how unexciting it all is.
