The CinePearl Take

The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle is a 1980s English film in the exploitation mould. Julien Temple directs and the script comes from Julien Temple. Steve Jones and Malcolm McLaren are among the leads. Made in United Kingdom, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring English-language films. Released in 1980, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 103 minutes, it is a comfortable evening's watch.
