This follow-up to the Oscar-nominated Alfie (1966) finds pop singer Alan Price replacing Michael Caine as the cockney casanova, with director Ken Hughes taking over from Lewis Gilbert.
This time around Alfie is a truck driver involved with the usual bevy of beauties, none of whom makes any impact apart from Jill Townsend as Abby, the beautiful and sophisticated editor of a travel magazine.
Although the description “soft porn” seems appropriate, it’s not as bad as all that (although you do get a topless Joan Collins). It certainly lacks much of the verve and pathos of the original, however.
