The Knack ...and How to Get It


The Knack and How to Get It is a 1965 British comedy film directed by Richard Lester based on the play by Ann Jellicoe. It won the Palme dOr at the 1965 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the Golden Bear at the 15th Berlin International Film Festival. It received the Grand Prix of the Belgian Film Critics Association.

Making the film immediately after working with The Beatles on A Hard Days Night and just before Help, Lester made major changes to the play, adding his own touch through direct address, unexpected oddlyedited sequences, humorous subtitles, and a Greek chorus of disapproving members of the older generation. Talking about the film in the 1980s, actor Ray Brooks saidLester himself makes a brief cameo as an annoyed bystander. John Barry contributed the jazzy score, which features a memorable organ solo by Alan Haven. Jane Birkin, Charlotte Rampling, and Jacqueline Bisset all made their first cinematic appearances in the film as extras, together with Top of the Pops disc girl Samantha Juste. ........
