The Wild Affair

The Wild Affair is a 1965 British comedy film written and directed by John Krish and starring Nancy Kwan, Terry-Thomas, Jimmy Logan, Gladys Morgan, and Betty Marsden.

[5] In 1963, Nancy Kwan's long hair, famous from The World of Suzie Wong (1960), was chopped into a sharp modernist bob by Vidal Sassoon for the film The Wild Affair, at the request of director John Krish.

[1] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Perhaps with someone other than Nancy Kwan in the leading role, this might have been a mildly effective cautionary tale about lower-middle-class aspirations to la dolce vita.

There is a good performance by Betty Marsden in that familiar role of the ageing spinster pining with hopeless love for her boss.

Wonderful Terry-Thomas plays the boss and his staff includes some giants of the British music-hall (Bud Flanagan, Jimmy Logan, Gladys Morgan)"[8] British film critic Leslie Halliwell said: "Curious little comedy-drama which plays almost like The Road to Ruin and has an attractive but miscast leading lady.
