'Swinging London'

'Swinging London' films had diffences with the earlier films such as 1950's, they have a more slack or fluid class structure and were very playful. They are also interested in youth and are very optimistic. The Italian Job 1969, featuring Michael Caine, is a typical example of 'Swinging London' films. It focuses on fashion and culture opposed to war and home or family life. It also shows optimism for something that is generally negative; such as crime.
