DVD Description
Special Features: Original Theatrical Trailer
Product Description
United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2.4 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Mono ), English ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: Hayley Mills and Oliver Reed star in Kingsley Amis' sophisticated sex comedy, directed by Jonathan Miller. Pretty young teacher Jenny Bunn (Hayley Mills) moves down south in the swinging sixties. Jenny's hardly had time to settle into her digs before local lothario Patrick (Oliver Reed) spots her, wines and dines her and sweeps her back to his place for a night of (in his mind) meaningless sex. It's then that Patrick makes a truly shocking discovery: Jenny is a virgin - and intends to stay that way. Patrick hasn't met a virgin before, so he's totally confused - and a bit scared. Can he persuade the virtuous Jenny to join the permissive society or should he just give up and settle for the easy charms of randy TV show girl Wendy (Aimi McDonald)? Whatever he's going to do, he'd better do it fast - because Jenny's grubby old landlord Dick (John Bird) and super-rich socialist Julian (Noel Harrison) are also sniffing around her... With a great supporting cast that includes Sheila Hancock, Ronald Lacey John Fortune and Penelope Keith, and a witty script from George Melly, Take A Girl Like You is a saucy British classic. ...Take a Girl Like You

I must confess a certain amount of prejudice as this is from my generation and Hayley Mills was one of my 'stars'; also Oliver Reed was one of my favourite actors.: so this is a must for their fans. Certainly a romanic and humerous film well worth getting and be taken back to those days when morals still had a meaning to such decent girls.

For some reason I have always remembered this movie with Ollie Reed far more than any movie of the 60's and have been trying to find it on DVD for over 40 years.....
A truly wonderful and underrated movie of it's time.

The lovely and wonderful Hayley Mills made this movie magic! It captures the moment of the 70's and how the boys were, and how the girls tried to be. It's witty, funny, and has it's moments. Oliver Reed is good, as well as a surprise performance from Noel Harrison. The whole cast makes this a cinematic treasure. This film was by far underrated, and everyone should experience this wonderful movie. The score and title song is fantastic...should be released on cd! I don't think this film would have worked without Hayley Mills. It just proves what a beautiful and multi-talented actress she is. This film is one of my top ten favorites, and it gets better each time I see it. It should have a major release just to show movie audiences how great those films from the 70's were. Treat yourself to this movie. It moves fast, and has so many memorable and enjoyable moments. I just wish the studios today released more enjoyable films like this!
