Two A Penny on DVD (1967)

In 1966, while searching for a new direction, Cliff Richard found God via evangelist Billy Graham and this film followed shortly after. It is surprisingly well balanced — offering both pro and con viewpoints — and contains some fine performances from Dora Bryan, Avril Angers and other well-known character actors of the time. The obstacle is Cliff himself, who was already a popular family entertainer but is awkwardly miscast as a hoodlum who would rather push drugs than marry his Bible-thumping girlfriend. Today, of course, the film has considerable curiosity value, though it is incredible it was made during the “Summer of Love”, while the Beatles were recording the Sergeant Pepper album. It just goes to show there was more to the Swinging Sixties than we are now led to believe. Halliwell's Film Guide Naïve religious propaganda sponsored by the Billy Graham movement and featuring the evangelist in a cameo. A curiosity.
