This episode of
The Mal Thursday Show was inspired by Michael Winner's 1964 film,
The System, released in the US two years later under the title
The Girl-Getters, and starring the one and only Oliver Reed. The film concerns the misadventures of a group of rogues in a seaside resort, who set out to seduce all the pretty girls who come there on holiday, and has just been reissued on DVD in the UK.
We'll be telling the story of this lost classic of '60s cinema through the music of a bunch of British and American Beat Groups.
Dedicated to the memory of the late, great Ollie.
