If any one film truly reveals 'Swinging London,' it is Peter Whitehead's little-seen documentary Tonite Let's All Make Love In London (1968). Beautifully shot, with a Syd Barrett-led Pink Floyd supplying the soundtrack, it is perhaps the only true masterpiece of the period, offering a visually captivating window on the 'in' crowd.
Revealing, often very personal interviews with the era's prime movers - Michael Caine, Julie Christie, David Hockney, and Mick Jagger - are interspersed by dazzling images of the 'dedicated followers of fashion', patronizing the clubs and discotheques of the day.
Departing from typical documentary styles, Tonite eschews neat narrative
