The Girl-Getters
Host: MalThursday
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 story of a group of rogues in a seaside resort who set out to seduce all the pretty girls who come there on holiday, it 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.

Thank you very much, and thanks to StatCat for his \”Born in the United K\” forum comp of a few years back, from whence several of the tracks were taken.

“Born in the United K” was a Masterbeat 64 comp. StatCat’s was “Live Scene.” Sorry ’bout that.

This show was ass kicking. I love you but not you know, in a messy romantic way. In a sloppy fun musical way.
I never even heard of this movie before and now I love it.
Truly, if your shows were people I would be makin’ sweet sweet love to ‘em.
Thanks!
