Six different stories are presented in this 1973 British sexploitation anthology from notorious B-movie and sexploitation filmmaker Derek Ford – a companion piece to his Suburban Wives (1971) – narrated by the beautiful Gabrielle Drake (who unfortunately keeps her kit on) from the Penthouse Club in London.
The first tale – about husband Dennis (Robin Bailey) and his wife (Heather Chasen) having separate affairs and ending up booking into the same place (“this lovely hotel down by the river”) – is staid and obvious, lacking the simple fun of the other stories.
The second story features Dick Haydon as a lucky plumber who gets called to fix a problem at the swanky London penthouse home of a posh Frenchwoman (Claire Gordon), where a swingers party is underway.
Then there’s a segment about a bored commuter (Mike Britton) who fantasises he’s chasing naked women around – including the gorgeous Nicola Austin – on a motorbike, a trip to Amsterdam, and finally the story of an ageing Peeping Tom.
