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.

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.🤔

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!).
