Catch Us If You Can (film)

Catch Us If You Can 1965 released with the title Having a Wild Weekend in the U.S. was the featurefilm debut of director John Boorman. It was designed as a vehicle for pop band The Dave Clark Five, whose popularity at the time almost rivaled that of The Beatles, and named after their hit song Catch Us If You Can.

On their journey, Steve and Dinah encounter first a group of protohippies squatting in MODowned buildings on Salisbury Plain some of this sequence was shot in the evacuated village of Imber, and then an unhappily married middleaged couple the duo of Yootha Joyce and Robin Bailey in the opulent surroundings of the Royal Crescent in Bath, Somerset. Steve also plans to visit his boyhood hero, Louie David Lodge, whose youth club in Londons East End he attended, and who has since relocated to Devon.Having fled the police, and Leon Zissells henchmen, after a fancydress party in the Roman Baths at Bath, Steve and Dinah with the rest of Steves gang and the police in hot pursuit make their way towards Devon. Steves encounter with Louie is disappointing. Louie recognises Dinah instantly because of her TV celebrity but fails to recognise Steve and misremembers his name, even after being introduced. Dinahs island also proves to be disappointing. At low tide it is reachable from the mainland, and Zissell who is clearly besotted with Dinah has already arrived. ........
