Some Like It Sexy (1969)Come Back Peter / Afternoon Delight / Model Girl / Peter's Pets / Seducer / Twins
Join uber- Mod sex god Peter (Christopher Matthews) as he cavorts across a not just swinging, but fully bouncing and pulsating London at the turn of the two greatest decades it ever saw: the 60s and 70s. Flitting from one boho pad to another in his fully functional babe wagon - a white E-Type Jaguar - he leaves his mark (sometimes literally) on a variety of beautiful women of all ages, nationalities, colours and shapes. The lucky ladies include later Gothic Goddesses Madeleine and Mary Collinson, Annabel Leventon and a young Nicola Pagett. There's also a fully clothed (what do you mean, "damn"?) appearance from Hammer scream queen Madeleine Smith as the delectable daughter of one of Peter's classy conquests. With a superb pop-psych-bubblegum-library freakout soundtrack, and some choice locations, this is the film for anyone who wants to indulge in unadulterated enjoyment, albeit with a twist. As director Donovan Winter put it, it's "like Alfie with more sex", and here, more is definitely what you get. Anyone seeking intellectual stimulation or 'pure cinema' can retire to the corner on the other side of the room where they can eulogise about Citizen Kane to their heart's content, but in the meantime, we're going to have some fun...and like Peter himself, we'll "come back" many, many times... - Director:
