- Synopsis:
"Live Now Pay Later" is a dark comedy-drama made in 1962, set in Britain as the Sixties began to swing and life on the never-never was all the rage. The British black-and-white film stars Ian Hendry, June Ritchie and John Gregson and also features Peter Bowles in his first role in a full length feature film. Hendry plays a smooth-talking, conniving door-to-door salesman, whose technique involves seducing nis female customers in order to persuade them to buy on credit. Unfaithful to his pregnant girlfriend, (June Ritchie), the unrepentant Albert is also cheating his boss, (John Gregson), out of profits. The film paints a vivid picture of early-1960s credit boom Britain, when the masses were enjoying a newfound spending power and learning to live beyond their means, thanks to the miracle of hire purchase. The Radio Times described the film as "A remarkably cynical and revealing portrait of Britain shifting from postwar austerity into rampant consumerism and the Swinging Sixties". - Actors:
