This could be your teenage daughter!” In the landmark UK ‘Adults Only’ classic, Christopher Lee is “fantastically dangerous” (Meat Hook Cinema) as the predatory owner of a Soho strip joint with eyes for a spoiled 16-year-old gasser – “an incredible performance” (Louder Than War) by Gillian Hills of BLOW-UP and Yé-Yé fame – with her own hunger for cool cats, hot sounds and deadly thrills that shock the squares. Pop star Adam Faith, Peter McEnery (ENTERTAINING MR. SLOANE), Shirley Ann Field (PEEPING TOM) and Oliver Reed co-star – with a way-out jazz/rockabilly/surf guitar score by The John Barry Seven – in “one of the coolest flicks ever made about the London scene” (Shock Cinema), directed by Edmond T.
