Shame, shame, everybody knows your name!

DramaRomance

The swinging London, early sixties. Beautiful but shallow, Diana Scott is a professional advertising model, a failed actress, a vocationally bored woman, who toys with the affections of several men while gaining fame and fortune.

VIBE

A cool, detached gaze into the glittering emptiness of 60s London. It's all sharp suits, mod fashion, and existential ennui, set against a backdrop of jet-set travel and fleeting connections.
