THE LOWDOWN This oddity from acclaimed British cinematographer/director Jack Cardiff is best known for its star, former Sixties wild child Marianne Faithfull - who was dating The Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger at the time - slipping in and out of a sexy leather catsuit. It might mot be one of Cardiff's most assured offerings, but its psychedelic photography and swinging Les Reed music score has made it a cult favourite for fans of retro 1960s cinema.
