UK Strangeness

THE WHITE BUS-1967-A woman (Patricia Healy) who may be suicidal (or dead?) leaves her boyfriend (“I'll write”) and takes a train ride full of football fans to an unnamed city (some say it's Manchester). She joins a double decker tour bus after witnessing what seems like a kidnapping. On the bus she meets the Mayor (Arthur Lowe) and the Macebearer (John Sharp). They go by factories and apartment complexes and listen to a guy (Anthony Hopkins in his film debut) sing in German. They also see people doing Kendo and a fire fighting demonstration. The film changes from black and white to color and back again several times. It ends with the woman eating in a cafe' while a waitress complains about her work. A good double feature with DILLINGER IS DEAD..
