Work Is a Four Letter Word (1967)
 David Warner and scouse songbird Cilla Black star in a
delightfully-absurd account of a young man called Valentine Brose
who is on a mission to grow a crop of psychedelic mushrooms to
promote happiness for the overworked masses of Great Britain (I
kid you not!)
He takes a job at a power station and knocks out the entire
city's power and then feeds the authorities his mushrooms, sending
them into a frenzy of hallucinogenic bliss. He then is able to
escape with his wife to be (Cilla) and a pram loaded with
mushrooms.
Occasionally hilarious but without much direction or
purpose.
Unfortunately this bizarre slice of the Sixties is not
available on video or DVD. Come on Cilla!
