Production
In January 1970 Andrew Sinclair and Jeffrey Selznick announced they had formed a company, Timon Films, to make a film of Breaking of Bumbo in association with Associated British.[2]
Kevin Brownlow and Andrew Mollo were going to direct but dropped out after a fall out with the producers.[3]
Jacquemine Charrott Lodwidge was the film's fashion co-ordinator.
Reception
After a couple of preview screenings, the film's release was delayed then cancelled altogether. It was never distributed in Britain, but the producers recouped a little of their costs by selling the TV rights.[4][5]
