Anche il sesso è un affare di stato

This film, also known as "Games Girls Play" and "The Bunny Caper", is a strange animal. It's a British sex comedy in some sense, largely filmed in England and with somewhat of a British sensibility, but both the director (Jack Arnold) and lead actress (Christina Hart) were Americans. Arnold was actually a very respected director at one point, responsible for such films as "The Incredible Shrinking Man", "Tarantula", and the original "Creature from the Black Lagoon". Clearly, his career was in decline here, but this is certainly much better made and bigger budgeted than your average 70's sex romp, and Hart and the other girls are genuinely pretty (which wasn't always the case in 70's sex films) and also silicone-free (which is NEVER the case today).

The story, unfortunately, is very stupid--but that's par for the course I guess. The "teenage" daughter of wealthy industrialist (Hart, who actually looks about twenty five) is sleeping her way through the US military ranks. For some reason that's a problem, so they decide to get her out of the country by making her father ambassador to Great Britain. Once there, her father enrolls her in a strict finishing school, but within five minutes she's corrupted her (equally mature and improbably gorgeous) British roommates. She gets them to go skinny-dipping in the school pool and lose their virginity en masse during a coed basketball game (don't ask). The "plot" takes off though when the girls decide to have a "contest" to try to bed some international VIPs visiting London for a world conference, including a Chinese ping-pong champion, a drunken Russian, a Henry Kissinger-like US statesman (if you have always fantasized about seeing Kissinger getting lucky with a "teenage" girl, THIS is your chance), and--even though they don't say exactly whom--somebody in Windsor Castle (perhaps Charles or Andrew, hopefully not Phillip or the Queen herself).

As you might imagine their plans go horribly awry and an international incident is soon brewing. This movie is rarely funny, but it is pretty sexy I guess. It's pretty dumb and I can't rave too much about it, but I don't regret having seen it either.

Anyone who enjoys 70's retro sex comedies should watch this movie. Director Jack Arnold (who helped co-create the look and feel of the original Brady Bunch TV series) applies similar creativity here but mixes in a bevy of nude ladies, mainly the entire leading female cast. Christina Hart is the lead here along with three other very cute British gals who play a game of sexy espionage with various government officials. There are several sequences in the film where you would in fact think you were watching Brady Bunch rather then a sex comedy but that's what makes it unique. The classic scene here is when Cristina Hart's character suggests they need not where any clothing because it's a girl's school after all and "what's to be modest about?". All four ladies take it all off and strut through the whole house totally nude and out to the pool for a skinny dip. The film has several of these type moments and some genuinely funny scenes. For the longest time this film was very hard to locate on VHS. It's great to see more of these classics on DVD. As campy as these films can be it's a truly unappreciated era in Cinema. This is one of the true forgotten classics of Drive Moivedom. Thanks for bringing it to DVD, Dark Sky Films!

A 4.1????? Are you kidding? This film may be a low-budget sleeper, but it's hilarious, and getting to see Christina Hart in the buff is well worth the viewing! WHAT A BOD!!!!!! If the economy was in that kind of shape, we all could buy and sell Bill Gates with our pocket change Man, is she built!!!!! Seeing her naked is a class A treat!!! And the acting is not that bad, as you might suspect for a low-budget film. And again, seeing Christina Hart's "Crown jewels" is great!!!!!See this movie!! It's simply funny! VERY FUNNY! But why do these comment lines HAVE to be 10 lines?? If you can say what you need to in 3 or 4, what's wrong with that??? As Porky in The Little rascals would say, "I doan know' pan-ey"!

All the user comments I read focused on Christina Hart, a marginal TV actress, who appeared in small roles on countless 70's TV, and how great she looked, both in and out of her clothes. But, The attention getter for me was Jill Damas, the big breasted one. An English lass who I have only accounted one other film starring her(Can You Keep It Up For A Week.) Damas, in my book at least makes this worth thr price of rental/buying. It is a plotless movie that basically is about 4 girls trying to bed famous diplomats and the resulting incidents that happen. Needless to say, There's not an inch of all four main women that you don't see. Not for everyone but those who like this sort of stuff, it is well worth a gander. If anyone knows anymore about Jill Damas career, I would love a shout at my e-mail.

Campy and silly as this film is, I liked it. The plot was a little, over-the-top, but believable and very funny. And, for me, anyway, seeing Christina Hart in FULL FRONTAL nude, and some in slow scenes, so you get to see exactly what she has, and that's LOTS! Her bush was exactly that; and More. Her being in the nude was a pleasure to look at, and not just for the obvious reason. She is a beautiful, reasonably talented young woman, and not afraid to show it off. This film is funny, campy, and very sexy. Don't watch it with ANYONE under the age of 12, boys especially, unless you don't mind answering the obvious questions. My Rating is 9.75!! because I LIKED IT!!!
