'This-That-and the Other' aka 'A Promise of Bed'. (1969)

Derek Ford.

Prolific low-budget smut-slinger Derek Ford's mostly amiable farce might prove to be a wee bit meagre in the rampant nookie department for the more actively degenerated Sinophile. Ford's film-making aesthetic is often crude, luridly garlanded with an occasionally giddy swathe of ersatz psychedelia to add some much-needed visual pizazz. Cast performances prove exuberant, rather than nuanced, while Ford's text is unforgivably flaccid, the consistently lively score remains engagingly buoyant throughout. For all the narrative inanities, Derek Ford's tremulously titillating triptych is fabulously festooned with top tier totty like tantalizing telly temptress Alexandra Bastedo, gamine crumpet Vanessa Howard, and voluptuously vulpine vamp Yutte Stensgaard. The stridently 70s grooviness is absurdly contrived, happily making 'This-That-and the Other' aka 'A Promise of Bed' all the more Kitschy delicious! Recidivist Tadger Tuggers, wanton wang whackers, jaded Jizz lizards, salacious slap n' ticklers, craven knob Jockies and spunky monkeys aught to give it at least 10cc's of their boggle-eyed attention.
