Full article:
Joe Brown : It was one of those pop films that I was told to go and do so I went and did it but I thought it was the best of a bad bunch. They shot it in black and white because it was that kind of story, and it didn't have that kind of Kodachrome glaze about it.
There was a load of really terrible films at the time where they'd get some pop singer who could barely tie his shoelaces and they'd hang a film round him, but What A Crazy World was already a well-respected play at Stratford East with Joan Littlewood's lot, so we had a good plot, a great script, and all the actors were from Joan Littlewood's troupe, great people like Harry H. Corbett, Avis Bunnage played my mother, good solid rep actors.
Marty Wilde was in it, and I thought he was really excellent. You'd never have known he was a pop star. You'd have thought he was a proper actor.
