1970's friendly female folly review
The Au Pair Girls is somewhat dated - but the dialogue is so bad it is entertaining. The girls show off their bodies throughout the film in the most contrived and "innocent ways". One of the Star Au Pair Girls - was played by Actress Gabrielle Drake. She played a staring role in the Gerry Anderson TV series UFO as Lt Gay Ellis. Gabrielle Drake bares all in the Au Pair Girls. It is worth a look.
To see such fun...
This film falls into the category of a victimless 'guilty pleasure'. Sort of like sneaking in a chocolate bar while you're on a diet. The Au Pair Girls is British exploitation, plain and simple, with a nifty 70's twist. It was a hoot just to see the various fashions and hairstyles that were popular at the time. And a bit of a surprise to see full frontal nudity, considering the year it was released (1972). There's not much of a plot, it basically covers 24 hours in the lives of 4 young women who arrive in England to start their new lives as au pairs.
Your first tip-off that this film isn't exactly a top shelf production happens about 6 minutes into the movie. As the au pair girls are arriving at the agency, a man directs them to an elevator. To the right, a flight of stairs. As German lovely Christa (Nancie Wait) arrives, you can actually see the shadow of a boom microphone on the wall at the top of the stairs. This gaff is made all the more humorous by the fact that only...
Gabrielle Drake
I remember seeing this at the pictures (having bunked in, because I was too young).
I thought it was very funny at the time and that Gabrielle Drake was stunning.
Well, that sort of 'Mind Your Language' come 'Adventures of ...' humour has dated beyond recollection of anything amusing.
But it was well worth the dosh just to see Gabrielle Drake in all her glory again.
