Lipstick on Your Collar

Name: Lipstick on Your Collar
Genre: Comedy, Drama, War
Duration: 60 min
Rating: 6.9

During the Suez Crisis of 1956, two young clerks at the stuffy Foreign Office in Whitehall display little interest in the decline of the British Empire. To their eyes, it can hardly compete with girls, rock music, and the intrigue of romantic entanglements.
