The Pleasure Girls (1965)


Compton-Cameo Films (UK)
Directed by Gerry O'Hara
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Blu-ray, BFI)

Country girl Francesca Annis moves to London to attend modeling school. She lives with her friends in a large flat. They go to parties, dance to records and meet boys. One of them is pregnant and contemplates an abortion, but her no-good boyfriend loses all of their money gambling. Another one is the lover of their landlord, Klaus Kinski, but he gets beat up by some thugs. Meanwhile Francesca is falling in love with her new boyfriend Ian McShane. A rather obvious morality tale in which the only girl who ends up happy is the one not having sex, but an interesting time capsule of mid 60s London.
