Full Plot Details

Follows the literal and associated life journey of middle class Brit Mick Travis (Malcolm McDowell), representing the "everyman", as he tries to make his mark in his so far young life. He is able to make great strides in his traditional view of success by being what those in authority want him to be. As such, he achieves in a few weeks what it usually take years for others, namely having his own sales territory, the northeast and ultimately Scotland, for Imperial Coffee. He is also able to garner a plethora of fringe benefits from this job, including women throwing themselves at his feet. But he will ultimately face a struggle in class and authority warfare, which culminates with his encounter with the Burgess family, wealthy industrialist Sir James Burgess (Sir Ralph Richardson) and his daughter Patricia (Dame Helen Mirren), who Mick wants to marry, the former who is contemplating investing in the shady dealings in Zingara. Mick will also find that the class struggle not only applies in his case in an upward direction, but also in a downward direction with the working class and the truly down and out. Through it all, Alan Price and his small combo act as a Greek chorus of sorts providing commentary of Mick's travails through song.

Movie Reviews

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeRich, densely layered, disturbing, unique and strangely satisfying in a way few films ever have been.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffNo less than an epic look at society is created in Lindsay Anderson's third and most provocative film.
Matinee Magazine - 6/10 by Chuck RudolphCourts brilliance by tempering its cynicism with a hefty dose of protracted, but never quite gullible, innocence in its main character.
New York Times - 5/10 by Vincent CanbyO Lucky Man! clearly has a number of things on its mind, but as a movie, it is a very mixed bag.
User Review - 10/10 by Martin MI love this film i really affected me whe I was young, I didn't even know what surreal meant then .
User Review - 10/10 by Michael DA journey through the life of Mick Travis... unforgettable film, first time I watched this was 1988 blew my mind;-)
User Review - 10/10 by Alan M"O Lucky Man! It tells you everything you need to know to survive in this life, the next and the next after that." - Grant Morrison. An absurd, surreal musical sequel-that-is-not-a-sequel to If...., a movie that was not a musical.
User Review - 10/10 by Andrew Kamazing film with many techniques that really make this one a stroke of genius, it is a story of genuis, mankind, love, destruction and everything, it really is an amazing film. I also love how surreal it is and how hilarious it is but how serious at the same time, why smile? don't ask questions just smile what is there to smile about? i absolutley love it i want to smile and cry at the same time amazing film.
User Review - 10/10 by Stuart KLindsay Anderson follows up If.... (1968), with this oddball but ultimately pleasing comic musical fantasy, which is probabily one of the best British films of the 1970's. It has Malcolm McDowell as Mick Travis, (the same character from If....), now working for a coffee company, and is given the opportunity to sell coffee to mayor companies throughout the North East of England, but Mick gets involved in weird and wonderful exploits that send his life in all different directions. Even though made in the 1970's, this is a film that has not aged, nor will it, it still feels relevent today as it did then, it's a biting satire on a capitalist society, and how it affects people's life for worse and for better, McDowell is one of the best actors in cinema, and one of the most criminally underrated. He's complimented in this by a BRILLIANT supporting cast including Ralph Richardson, Arthur Lowe, Dandy Nichols, Warren Clarke, Bill Owen, James Bolam, Geoffrey Palmer, Brian Glover and Helen Mirren!! But, the icing on the cake for this scumptious film is the music score and songs by Alan Price, which are worth it for the film alone. The film might be nearly 3 hours long, but mark my words, it's worth every minute!! You must see it!! :D
User Review - 10/10 by Private UDespite that creepy as hell cover, it's somehow one of my favorite movies of all time. "If..." was great and I love mass murder, but even Mick Travis shooting up his boarding school can not compare to his wild adventures in coffee retail. This movie pretty much has everything. It has Alan Price hitting up random musical numbers, a pigman, and people jumping out of windows for no apparent reason. It even has cake. I really wish they made more movies like this.
