A forgotten sexy classic from the Drive In Days..

Anyone who enjoys 70's retro sex comedies should watch this movie. Director Jack Arnold (who helped co-create the look and feel of the original Brady Bunch TV series) applies similar creativity here but mixes in a bevy of nude ladies, mainly the entire leading female cast. Christina Hart is the lead here along with three other very cute British gals who play a game of sexy espionage with various government officials. There are several sequences in the film where you would in fact think you were watching Brady Bunch rather then a sex comedy but that's what makes it unique. The classic scene here is when Cristina Hart's character suggests they need not where any clothing because it's a girl's school after all and "what's to be modest about?". All four ladies take it all off and strut through the whole house totally nude and out to the pool for a skinny dip. The film has several of these type moments and some genuinely funny scenes. For the longest time this film was very hard to locate on VHS. It's great to see more of these classics on DVD. As campy as these films can be it's a truly unappreciated era in Cinema. This is one of the true forgotten classics of Drive Moivedom. Thanks for bringing it to DVD, Dark Sky Films!
