Very nicely done British production from 1967-68.
Quite prescient, both in terms of its content and subject!
The actors performance suggest they were stage trained.
I suggest viewing in YouTube's "Cinema/Theatre Mode" (press t after the video starts. much less cluttered by thumbnails)
Enjoy.

(A very unflattering description of Vietnamese culture is referenced about 3/4 way through the 28 minute film) - @Aidan in HCMC

I will watch that in its entirety later.

I have now spoken to a number of Vietnamese women who are solidly in the Western husband camp. To lump their answers into "they are more trustworthy" than the local men would be only a slight generalization.And Western men come here looking for love. And some come looking for sex, possibly confusing the two. - @Lennerd

Something I've heard said and have now adopted as a maxim, (this, an admittedly generalization of our species) is that...

Women give sex for love

Men give love for sex

It's worked well for aeons (8+billion pop.), though in my humble(d) opinion it leaves the male more vulnerable.🤔

I will watch that in its entirety later. - @Fred

Well worth the time. It's actually quite chilling.

If enabled, turn off subtitles as it rubbishes the British accent and so serves only as a distraction.

The final line is delivered perfectly (gotta' love Donald Pleasence!).

Who eats one egg?

My Vietnamese wife… sometimes she only eats half and leaves the other 3.5 for me…ya, I don’t get it either.

Asked my GF what she thought about me growing a beard. She said it was up to me.

After a minute or two where she was obviously thinking about it, she asked me how we westerners manage to keep fleas and ticks out of it. I told her it wouldn't be an issue. She still has her doubts about that.

Then she asked me what kind/style of beard I was thinking about.

I told her, "Oh, I dunno'. I'm thinking a nice heavy neck beard would look okay".

A couple of minutes later, after Googling her fingers down to the bone, I got a definite, "No, Aidan, no! It very ugly!"

On a related note, anyone else notice how the light in VN bathrooms are installed in such a way as to make them essentially useless for shaving? Same with hotel bathroom lighting. In the three homes I've had here, I've had to either reposition the existing light fixture, or install extra lighting above the mirror.

I had to duck to go into the bathroom and I was like wow. This is too cool.

My wife made me cut the my beard but as a side note had a photographer want to touch the hair on my legs. He was very curious and I didn’t think nothing of it.

@Aidan in HCMC

Your not renting those rooms which charge be the hour are you ? kkkkk

Totally agree with the lighting! Simply appalling and useless.
