7/10
Oh the 1970s!

This film has been nicely restored and the DVD is excellent with some bonus items worth a quick watch. It also strikes a nostalgic note with models sporting natural breasts and a decent amount of body hair - a real treat for those of us tired of silicone and over use of the razor! The plot is weak but the visual delights are many. Don't see why the horseracing scenes were included, after all, after heading for Newmarket, the racing came from Newbury and Peter O'Sullivan's commentary declared that "No. 7 is wearing a black cap" when shown wearing a red cap. Mary Millington is a delight to behold just so long as she doesn't speak! I think she may have popped a few too many pills and her eyes look a bit far away. Most of the surviving cast have reached ripe old age and the recently deceased Glynn Edwards was way into his 80s when he passed on. Good to show todays' youth how grotty London used to be and how naturally beautiful most of the actresses and models were.
