Uneven but often hilarious satire of labor-management relations, with rock & roll (including an awesome title song), advertising jingles, television panel shows, and nudist camps thrown in.  This is based on the Alan Hackney novel Private Life and directed by John Boulting, whose Heavens Above!, from 1963, disappointed me.

I gave this twenty minutes, since I hoped for the fizzy satiric touch of the first few minutes, but that fizzled out.  John and Ray Boulting co-directed, and John co-wrote the script.
