If…. (1968) was the first film in director Lindsay Anderson’s “Mick Travis” trilogy (O Lucky Man!, Britannia Hospital). A savage black comedy about British society, the film starred Malcolm McDowell as Mick Travis, along with David Wood, Richard Warwick, Robert Swann, and Christine Noonan. Anderson filmed the movie in both color and black and white, for no other apparent reason than the director's whim. Public school students conduct a vicious war of retaliation against arbitrary authority.
