Ok, let's accept it may be cheesy in parts. But overall it has excellent atmosphere and there are many great character actor performances. 5 stories, with something for everyone. Being a jazz fan, my favourite is the Roy Castle voodoo segment. It includes the great Tubby Hayes in his prime and although mainly played for laughs, the music certainly stays with you and reflects the era fantastically well. In the end you either like these films or you don't, I know I do.
