There seemed, sadly, some great brit comedy/character actors involved in this. Suppose they were compelled esp in the climate of a moribund industry, to live by some actorly maxim, viz. if you're offered work, *any* work, then it's worth doing; better to be 'in work than out of...lovey'. Interesting record of the era though - thanks for posting.
@pierstheoneandonly There was nothing doing in the British film industry back then except sex, horror and Bond. So you find great character actors like Le Mesurier, and wonderful leading actresses like Gaby Drake, in these, um, cheesy films. And Val Guest was a considerable director - he made Hell Is A City with Stanley Baker, and Jigsaw with Jack Warner, great British crime films. (Jigsaw is a police-procedural noir so stylishly pure it has no music - a simple trick few directors have tried.)
Particularly I like most Astrid Frank (Anita, Swedish blonde) and Me Me Lay (Nan Lee, China), third serious Astrid Frank (Anita German) and fourth Gabrielle Drake (The Danish).
Yes a cheesy little film but quite fun, it has been released on dvd i have a copy got it of ebay it was worth it just for the scenes of Gabriel Drake naked and i mean completely naked.
Seems like the "thin end of the wedge" of pornography culture. Well, hard to say where "it " begins; maybe "French postcards" around World War 1 ... or just watching attractive women in summer dresses on a nice day. But at least the last one potentially isn't a sterile substitute for real relationships.
It bothers me to think that this sort of element was allowed into any part of British culture. Who produces these things?
Gabrielle Drake's legs probably make it worth seeing - otherwise, the usual drek that the dying British film industry was churning out then. For those of us old enough to remember the early 70s this was typical of the crap entertainment thrust at us.
@cosycleaner yep def worth it for the stunning amazon Gabrille, a real beauty actually, god those films of the early 70's all the soft porn stuff. cinemas were closing all over the uk in those days due to the colossal rise of tv, audiences of 16 or 17 million for tv comedies and game shows were common. to try and get trade cinemas showed cheap soft porn stuff, 'confessions of etc' it was usual to get some quite 'respectable' aged actors slobbering over the girls. Curious era indeed
Damn it.. I've seen this. And in a cinema, no less. It was the most pornographic thing in Finland those days (early 80's), rated K-18 (no-one under eighteen admitted). I was about sixteen, I think. Those were the days..!
Jekyllboote: Rosy colour specs out in force here! Try looking at the news media of the time to see what the early 1970s were actually like. Power cuts, strikes, the three day week...
The style of this film actually owes more to the "earthly paradise" that was the 1960s! As does so much in the 1970s.
This film appears a lot on some cheapo satellite channels like Simply Movies. So awful it is hilarious - typical smutty British humour of early 70's. Gabrielle Drake was always shedding her clothes.
Gabrielle Drake was gorgeous wasn't she...I only found out recently that her brother was Nick Drake the famous musician and songwriter that committed suicide around the same time the series was on
This film is frequently shown on the Sky satellite late-night film channels in the UK, and is FAR sexier than this *very* tame trailer implies. It stars Gabrielle Drake, the sexiest actress of the Seventies - most famous then for Gerry Anderson's 'UFO' tv series and the BBC tv drama series 'The Brothers' - in some lengthy nude scenes. A devastatingly attractive girl.

If Nick ever saw his Sister in this (or similar nonsense she was involved with), I'd doubt it'd have helped his malaise any.
