Beat Girl (1960 British)) by Edmund T. Greville - cranefly - 10-03-2021
(seen on criterion)
X-rated, which in 1960 means some tit-flashes, rock-and-roll partying, games of chicken, a strip joint subplot, and rumors of the father's new wife's shady past (prostitution).
Running the strip joint is a young and strikingly-handsome Christopher Lee. Among the beatnicks in a very young and hammish Oliver Reed nicknamed Crazy.
Starring Gillian Hills as the rebellious daughter of a well-to-do architect. And has anyone ever double-snapped her fingers to groovy music so well!
Well-filmed, great soundtrack (for the times), surprisingly arresting. Cult status.

Reed was a knavish actor, an alcoholic yet a gentleman, apparently. Ever see Castaway? It's basically him nekkid with a young starlet for the entire movie. It's a Nicholas Roeg flick that Kate Bush did the title theme for...
