SOS (1975) **
Lasse Hallstrom tries hard in this ABBA music video, but the results are more pretentious than impressive.
Pink DaVinci (1975) ***
Leonardo da Vinci has a problem with painting Mona Lisa's smiling lips (he wants her to frown), but Pink Panther soon makes the necessary corrections. The tug-of-war between the two characters is a little repetitive, but the film also shows how an enraged Leonardo bended the Tower of Pisa !
Illusion (1975) ***
Little children are playing in the fields. But then, a magician appears and transforms their rustic paradise into a horrible industrial wasteland. A very unsubtle allegory about a curse also known as civilization.

Fawlty Towers 1 (1975) ****
The best British TV comedy series of all times, starring John Cleese as Basil Fawlty, a bumbling owner of a small seaside hotel and Prunella Scales as his even-headed wife, Sybil.

The third episode has major mayhem among wedding guests. The next two segments have Basil battling hotel inspectors and food critics. And finally, German guests arrive, only to be insulted by Basil who insists on talking about the war.
"A Touch Of Class" ****

Personel (1975) ***
Krzysztof Kieslowski's film debut, made for television. Fiction film shot in a documentary film style. Probably the first example of "cinema of moral anxiety".

Dolemite (1975) **
Directed by D'Urville Martin. With Rudy Ray Moore. This comic-rap-book blaxploitation actioner about a flamboyant pimp, has aged so badly, it's now a bona fide laugh riot.
