I heard about this film when I was still at school and had long since given up on ever seeing it. However some 50 years later I found this copy and I'm pleased to have finally been able to watch it. Set in a very English school of the period, and not unlike a lot of Australian private schools of the late 60s and early 70s, there are a group of very repressed rebels without a cause, who find it very difficult to be a part of establishment. Many films have been made since If, following the same theme, but, very few that I've seen have the same sort of ending. In fact, in a post Columbine school shooting era, I doubt that anyone would even want to make a new movie like If. The special effects in the final scenes are very poor by modern standards, but effective nevertheless, and the acting can be rather wooden too, which detracts somewhat, but overall, worth chasing-up for a collection.
So more of a movie for us old nostalgia ridden sixty-somethings but a message within that's just as valid today as it was then.
