secret rites (1971)

"only the celebrants can know these rites."
A supposed look into the dark world of paganism, guided by 'King of the witches' Lee Peters, as his coven re-enact some wiccan rites.
Pseudo-mondo documentary, that probably reveals precious little about wiccan practices, but is a fun curiosity.

sexploration (1975)

aka Girl From Starship Venus. The Sexplorer. Diary of a Space Virgin.
"I have an interest for everything."
An exploratory spacecraft lands in the heart of Soho London, and one crew member (Monika Ringwald) is sent out to survey this strange world, and the people in it. Being 70's soho, sex is not far away, and the explorer soon gets involved in a variety of situations as she tries to find out how these human's tick!
A mildly interesting film, due more to its views of seventies London, than anything in the script.

groupie girl (1970)

aka I Am A Groupie.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do."
Bored teenager (Esme Johns) is enticed by the bright lights of London, and smuggles herself in a groups van to get there. On being discovered she falls in with their lifestyle, but soon finds out there is very little glamour in the rock star life when the band get bored of you.
Far better film, than the title would lead you to believe, but one that doesn't betray it's exploitation roots.

a promise of bed (1969)


aka This, That, and the Other.
"Exactly what did happen in your suite?"
A trilogy of stories. In 'This' Susan (Vanda Hudson), a fading sex symbol seduces a young man (Denis Waterman), whom she believes is the son of a film producer, in an attempt to win the lead in a movie. 'That' features George (Victor Spinetti), a depressed loner, who is attempting suicide, but is interrupted by a girl (Vanessa Howard) who believes he's having a party. 'Other', has Harold (John Bird), crashing his taxi when he is distracted by his sexy passenger. He then spirals in to an hallucinogenic world where he is chased by nubile young girls.
This succeeds in being neither funny, or sexy, quite a feat as it features a number of capable actors, and nude women! One of those films that all concerned is quite happy to forget.
