I chose this flick because I'd heard so much about the tragic and interesting story of actress/model Mary Millington, yet had never seen her in anything. Mary was becoming a veterinary nurse when she met David Sullivan who catapulted her to fame via nudie magazines and films, including Come Play with Me which still stands as the longest-running film in British movie history. The tragedy came when Mary got wrapped up in drugs, came under UK law enforcement scrutiny and committed suicide.
Yes, it's depressing, but so is this movie. It has that bleak feel that only the 1970s can muster.
We get to see Benny Hill babe, Suzy Mandel, naked, and a lot of Ms. Millington as well. Plus, there is loads of ancient computer equipment at Scotland Yard to marvel at. It's so politically incorrect, it would never make into theaters these days, which is kind of refreshing in a strange sort of way. All in all, The Playbirds is fast paced with lots of T&A, and packed with enough 70s decor and scenery to keep you interested - despite the nonsensical storyline.
I give it a 3 out of 5 wanks
