Synopsis
Carrying an ax over his shoulder, television commercials director Andrew Quint marches through the streets of London, enters his office, smashes his desk, and resigns from his job. Disenchanted with the superficiality of his work and his life, which he disspiritedly shares with his wife, Louise, and two mistresses, he decides to return to the small literary magazine which began his post-Cambridge University career. Instead of providing the refuge of a simple life, however, the magazine, edited by Quint's old friend Nicholas, proves to be just another version of modern conformity. Even an affair with Georgina, the office secretary, does not ease Quint's anxiety. After the magazine is bought by his former boss, Jonathan Lute, Quint agrees to return to the advertising organization and make one last commercial. When Georgina is killed in an automobile accident, Quint attempts to devastate the merchandizers with a bitter attack on advertising values, but even this effort backfires; the film wins first prize at an annual commercials festival.

Trivia
The film was denied a MPAA seal of approval due to a scene between Oliver Reed and Carol White that implied oral sex. Universal distributed the film through a subsidiary that was not a signatory to the MPAA. Along with a similar scene in Charlie Bubbles (1967), this helped to bring about the end of the Production Code and its replacement with a ratings system.
Often named as the first film to use the word "fuck" in its dialogue (see quotes). Another contender is Ulysses (1967) released the same year.
Notes
