Feel like a British Film......

It's not remotely British, but it just feel like it.

Any one else?

I totally agree Columbia75 it does appear that this film did have an English feel to it even if it was an American / early 1970's California setting film   .

IMPO I actually thought the main character Harold ( played by actor Bud Cort ) had quite a striking resemblance to English actor Malcolm McDowell
( in his very early years in film of course  ) .

The same here. I even wondered for some time and couldn't understand why on Earth they were driving left hand cars?!!

The ending is a lot like the British movie Quadrophenia, also the setting feels a bit similar, minus the mansion and all that.
