Considered terribly daring in its day, this quintessential 1960s movie catches Marianne Faithfull on the cusp between beauty and seedy decline. She is required to do little more than sneer, pout and wrap her leather-encased limbs around said bike, but this image alone reduced a generation of pseudo-hippy males to pop-eyed slavering wrecks. The plot is as wafer-thin as Faithfull's waist, but with a gallery of cinematic icons of the day — including Alain Delon, Catherine Jourdan and Marius Goring — the movie is still a delicious-looking curiosity that encapsulates the freewheeling hedonism of the times.
