Sales of vests plummeted when Clark Gable appeared without one in It Happened One Night, but it is unlikely that this naive piece of futuristic hokum from director John Boorman had an equally astounding impact on the fashion of the day by increasing the demand for orange underpants! Poor Sean Connery Burt Reynolds obviously knew what he was doing when he said no to this film. Yet, thanks to Geoffrey Unsworth's stunning photography, this patently silly story, set in 2293 and telling of a rebellion against sexless intellectualism and soulless technology, has become one of those "risible but unmissable" cult movies, whose main attraction now is the unintentional comedy. The title is a contraction of "Wizard of Oz".
