- DOLLYBIRDS!
- (1966, 24 mins, Directed by Robert Amram)
- Future double Oscar winner Robert Amram made his filmmaking debut with this 1966 paean to the delights of swingin' London's groovy chicks - the 'dollybird'! A kaleidoscopic documentary that captures the mid-60's mod zeitgeist. Vidal Sassoon snips their geometric coifs; debs do the frug at the Scotch of St. James; Mick Jagger protege Chris Farlowe serenades them with his #1 hit. But the film was completed just as the op-art scene mutated into hippiedom. Replaced overnight by the 'flower-child' - in the words of Jagger's new song - the dollybirds were instantly "Out Of Time" - as was this delightful film - which was lamentably shelved. In 2000 - the film had its belated World Premiere at the “Mods & Rockers Film Festival” - and Dollybirds rose again! The film is now considered aa re-discovered lost gem of that mellow era. (Quite rightly!)
