'Groupie Girl' (1970) - Derek Ford.

Infamous British sexploitation scion, Derek Ford's remarkably gritty, dingily downbeat drama about painfully naïve, strikingly statuesque runaway, Sally (Esme Johns) who fatefully stows away in the back of gigging rock group, Opal Butterfly's transit van, and not long thereafter endures a grotty number of sordidly initiatory sexcapades, the 'turned on', Sally finally 'makes the scene',man!!! Ostensibly being serially abused by various brutish, self-absorbed, pot-raddled musicians, and in one expressly terrifying scene, Sally is callously manhandled through the windows of one fast-moving van into another!!!???

For all its conspicuous grubbiness, hilariously quaint, faux-hippie badinage, and gruesome promiscuity, Ford's prosaically presented smut is a surprisingly compelling decent into the banal hedonism of touring bands, and the group's no less predatory, carnally corrupted, money-grubbing managers. While the beleaguered busty waif, Sally, is a deliciously Rubenesque protagonist, her lot, sadly, is a far from happy one!! Groupie Girl's sprightly soundtrack is the film's undeniable highlight, with some exquisitely funky contributions from, Alan Hawkshaw & John Fiddy, and, surprisingly, the performances are all credible, with a Baronic-looking, Donald Sumpter being splendidly vile as the venal, smugly abusive, blithely boffing pop singer, Steve! While seasoned smut-maker, Derek Ford's lurid 70s rockarama, 'Groupie Girl' won't pop any buttons on ya' raincoat, it's right proper gear, mayte!
