Bernard Rose on

If…

Released 1969
Distributor Paramount Pictures
Lindsay Anderson’s savage satire about a gun-happy insurrection at one of Britain’s public schools plays out like a blood-drenched version of Zero for Conduct. Malcolm McDowell stars as Mick Travis, a persecuted student who turns his violent revenge fantasies into fact. McDowell’s character returned in the far more sweet-tempered (but no less surreal) O Lucky Man! in 1972 and Brittania Hospital in 1982, thus completing the “Mick Travis Trilogy”.
