    Stefan (Klaus Grünberg) is a German student, fresh out of college and on the hunt for some excitement in his life. So he goes hitchhiking and ends up in late-60s Paris.

    Hanging out with the hippies there, he becomes friendly with Charlie (Michel Chanderli), a gambler and petty crook who ‘borrows’ some money from the bag of Estelle (Mimsy Farmer) at a party.

    Stefan, who has fallen under Estelle’s spell at the party, takes the money back (plus interest), discovers drugs (Estelle is an occasional heroin user), discovers Pink Floyd, and vows to follow Estelle to Ibiza when he’s completed a “job” (house-breaking) in Paris.

    A few weeks later, Stefan turns up in Ibiza where Estelle is staying with a gaggle of hippies and Dr Ernesto Wolf (Heinz Engelmann) – an ex-Nazi and generally shifty character. But Stefan is in love and is just happy he’s around Estelle.

    Unbeknownst to Stefan, Estelle has stolen money and drugs from Dr Wolf. The pair sneak off and find a hideaway paradise in the hidden depths of the island – or so they think.

    The arrival of Cathy (Louise Wink), one of Estelle’s drug buddies, breaks their peaceful isolation. Then another old friend enters Estelle’s life once more – heroin, and once she’s back on it, she’s desperate to introduce Stefan to the relationship. He tries it, gets hooked and everything changes.

    The love affair between the two now becomes secondary to the love affair the pair have with heroin.

    Things gradually start to crumble as the heroin doses crank up, made worse when Dr Wolf’s heavies finally catch up with Estelle. He wants his drugs back – or at least – he wants them to work off the debt, selling drugs on the island for him. There’s no escape from the island, so there’s no choice.

    The relationship breaks down even more, but the drugs keep coming, despite an attempt to get clean. Things can only end badly.

    More doesn’t completely work as an anti-drug movie. Starring Mimsy Farmer in her prime – Estelle looks stunning in just about every scene despite having a serious heroin habit – it’s just a little too glamorous.

    Sadistic and child abuse.

    This is very sad news. Jack Lee was a great unsung hero of the power pop world, and The Nerves were a great band that also featured Peter Case (who went on to bigger things with The Plimsouls) and Paul Collins (who headed up his own successful power pop band, The Beat).

    Happy 81st to Anita Harris 🫶

    Happy 81st to Anita Harris 🫶Happy 81st Birthday to Anita Harris, born 3rd June 1942 in Somerset, England. She is an all round entertainer, singer/dancer/actress.
    As a child she was a keen ice skater, and just before her 16th birthday she was talent spotted and invited to join a dance troupe and headed for Las Vegas, performing 3 shows a night. She stayed 6 months.

    While she enjoyed dancing, singing was always her first love. Upon returning to England she joined the Cliff Adams Singers and was with them for 3 years. In 1961 she made her first recordings with the John Barry Seven. Possibly two of her best known recordings are 'Just Loving You' and 'We're Going on a Tuppenny Bus Ride'.

    In the 1960's She appeared in a two 'Carry On' films. On TV in the 70's among other things she was on David Nixon's Magic Box for 8 years as his assistant. She continued working on stage and screen with entertainment legends – everyone from Bob Monkhouse and Tommy Cooper to Bruce Forsyth, Morecambe and Wise and Harry Secombe. In 1986 she made her debut in 'legitimate theatre' playing Grizabella in the West End production of Cats.
    Today she continues to perform on stage and in cabaret with her band. You can hear her recordings on
