- TriviaFiona Richmond's first role. She is credited Amber Harrison. Richmond was working as a Playboy Bunny and modeling nude at the time she made this film. She also performed fully nude in the play Pyjama Tops in 1970. When she found out about the nudity, she said it amused her rather large appalled her and being naked on stage in front of a huge crowd sounded fun. That later led into posing fully nude in men's magazines and appearing nude in movies.
- GoofsWhen Thunderclap Newman begin performing Hollywood Dream, the guitar playing singer has a lit cigarette jammed into the top of his guitar fret board and wisps of cigarette smoke are clearly visible. The cigarette disappears then reappears between long shots and close-ups.
Featured review
Shoddy excuse for a movie -- watch-while-drunk material.
A London housewife (Luan Peters) is bored with her sexually cold husband (Jason Twelvetrees -- and yes he is that wooden!) and is lead/blackmailed in to temptation with an Australian travelling salesman (Vincent Ball) and his rather more unbuttoned pals.
There are many films around where the story behind the film is far more interesting than the film itself. There are also films which are more interesting for the background than the foreground. This is both.
London in the early 70's was in a strange hangover of a place -- vice had been clamped down upon and the new thing were films that were sold as sexy, but were actually nothing of the kind (but hey, they have your money by then). Today this is less sexy than post watershed TV!
The one thing that I learn from watching this is that body painting had left the London sex scene as of 1971 and that heavy blue mascara could be worn all day long. Even in bed. Love the last sightings of the those wooden finished cars too.
Thunderclap Newman come on -- and don't (repeat don't) perform their only hit "Something in the Air."
Liz Taylor once said that she won an Oscar of Butterfield 8 because she had an utter contempt for the part (and her life at that time) and the Academy mistook it for great acting. No such luck for Peters who needs her whole life (on screen) to come apart to register emotion.
This is a film that has the air of multiple failure. The acting is cold and wooden and has a pretty bad script. Indeed if you stick with it, it doesn't even reach a conclusion to its rather weak storyline. That really twists the knife in the wound.
Antony Sloman (the director) is said to be one of the biggest film buffs in the UK -- but this proves that watching a lot of good movies doesn't mean you can learn a thing from them!
