- Synopsis:
- Comic legend Zero Mostel mixes slapstick and surrealism as a tardy opera star traversing London in 'Ride of the Valkyrie' while 'Red, White and Zero', scripted by Shelagh Delaney, blends realism and poetry with poetry with New Wave detachment as a young woman travels home from the north of England. Tony Richardson (Tom Jones) directs Vanessa Redgrave in the final part of the film, 'Red and Blue', a musical, melancholy romantic reverie.

Two out of Three - Red, White and Zero review by AL
The first two short films are a delight. A good mix of sixties absurdity and flights of fancy. The third film let's it down. It does not appear to have any common ground with the first two, and looks to belong in a different anthology. However, the this is a must for fans of 60's British cinema.
