“A wedding party sees all sorts of saucy shenanigans.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis sunny, light-hearted short has a real u0026#39;shot at the produceru0026#39;s houseu0026#39; vibe (itu0026#39;s the delightful Wraysbury in Berkshire) and its content is deeply inconsequential – it starts with its best nudity (with the gorgeous Theresa Wood in the bath) and then thereu0026#39;s all sorts of chatter, some of which is actually quite funny, especially the stuttering, fffffing girl, before some mild couplings. We also get a cast member whou0026#39;d become a teacher at Grange Hill. And thereu0026#39;s not only a gay man present, but a lesbian too!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYou canu0026#39;t imagine the dirty mac brigade would have been too impressed, unless they watched the hardcore version intended for foreign markets – as it is, this is a very English, very Seventies sauce film, but thatu0026#39;s not necessarily an insult.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis can presently only be viewed at the BFI Mediatheque on Londonu0026#39;s South Bank, which is where I watched it yesterday.”
