WHATS
GOOD FOR THE GOOSE
: A Brief summary.....
In 1969, the Pretty Things appeared in the Norman Wisdom film,
"Whats Good For The Goose". Wisdom plays a family man
(Timothy Bartlett) dedicated to wife Margaret (Sally Bazely) and
their children. He travels alone to Southport for various board
meetings and whilst on the journey he picks up a couple of
hitch-kikers, Nikki (Sally Geeson) and Meg (Sarah Atkinson). As
the meetings drag on he can't stop thinking about the journey and
he tries to join the in-crowd at the nearby, Screaming Apple
club. At the club, the Pretty Things appear on stage (see
pictures below). Bartlett falls for Nikki and goes out of the way
to impress both her and her friends, however not all goes to plan
and he finds himself feeling frustrated. A phone call back home
and Margaret joins the remainder of his vacation.
Originally, six songs were recorded and of these four were
submitted, "Blow Your Mind"; "Alexander";
"It'll Never Be Me" and Eagle's Son".
