Product Description

BEAT GIRL (Flipside 030) (DVD + Blu-ray)
A Film by Edmond T Greville

A cult classic British film about late-fifties youth-rebellion set to an intoxicating Beatnik backdrop.

The film tells the story of Paul (David Farrar), a divorced architect who marries a Parisian named Nichole (Noëlle Adam), much to the displeasure of his teenage daughter Jennifer (Gillian Hills). In a bid to rebel Jennifer falls in with the London beatnik scene and a music-fuelled life of juvenile delinquency. Taking an immediate dislike to her stepmother Jenny goes out of her way to make life miserable for Nichole. When she discovers that Nichole is a friend of a stripper, she investigates and uses her stepmother's sordid past to embarrass her father.

With an all-star cast including David Farrar (Black Narcissus, The Small Back Room), Shirley Anne Field (Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, Peeping Tom), Christopher Lee (Lords of the Rings, Dracula) and a young Oliver Reed (Gladiator, Oliver!), the film is notable for its original music by composer John Barry, his first film commission, and the debut appearance of teen idol Adam Faith. Actress Gillian Hills went on to work with Antonioni (Blow Up) and Stanley Kubrick (A Clockwork Orange) and was the star of the cult television series The Owl Service.

2.0 out of 5 starsBUTCHERED!
By A Customer on 15 Mar. 2004
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is the american release which is a bad print and clumsily edited. The UK version available on VHS a few years ago was much better than this. This is a real shame because the UK Cut is really quite fun in a retro-sleazy way!
Wow Daddy-O Im Over and Out!

4.0 out of 5 starsHeavens to Betsy! What a performance!!
By Wee Jeannie McS. on 9 Mar. 2016
Format: DVD
I caught this movie by accident about a week ago on the new Talking Pictures TV channel and I'm giving it four stars as it's the only film in years that's been able to make my jaw drop so far that I was speechless!! I had missed the start of the film so it took me a wee while to catch up plot-wise but it wasn't difficult. There was fun to be had in recognising loads of stars in their early years and Adam Faith looked about 17, as did Oliver Reed when he made a brief appearance later in the film. And yes, the acting was somewhat dire in places - all that 'beat me daddy-o 8-to-the-bar' seemed a bit forced at times - but the film was still quite watchable and enjoyable.
So what exactly made my jaw drop? As one of the characters works in a strip club, with Christopher Lee being the owner, there are obviously scenes set in the strip club where various ladies strut their stuff and remove their bras - all done in the best possible taste of course and quite 'decorous' in some ways. There is however one 'exotic dancer', who actually gets a special mention in the credits of the film, who does things with a strip of cloth that you just would not believe!! I don't know if she'd got hold of a large bath towel or a curtain[!] but what she did with it brought tears to my eyes more than once, not to mention the dropped jaw... I actually thought I'd tuned into a porn film by mistake!
She didn't remove a single item of clothing as far as I can recall but trust me, she didn't need to. I have a feeling that the extras who made up the club audience on that day probably needed cold water chucked on them after that performance!
I do wonder however if that scene will remain in this new DVD/Blu Ray release. It would be a shame if it was cut as that girl certainly earned her wages that day. What a performance!!

5.0 out of 5 starsBeat Girl as Historical Document
By Brubeck Fan on 19 April 2009
Format: DVD
After its initial launch in 1960 this film was withdrawn from circulation on the grounds that it might corrupt the young. It has only just become available on DVD. In the meantime the world has changed and it now looks laughably innocent. The music, by John Barry, is genuinely excellent. Probably his most original. With the exception of Christopher Lee,who is always wonderful, the acting, by Adam Faith, Gillian Hills, Shirley Ann Field, Oliver Reed, Peter McEnery is so bad that it's brilliant. It's a much better film than "Expresso Bongo" which has a similar setting ( Soho strip clubs) but has Cliff Richard rather than Adam Faith. Both show just how shabby Britain was in 1959/60.

3.0 out of 5 starsKitsch? I should co-co
By HipNip on 5 July 2009
Format: DVD
A classic "so bad it's good" British film , has a great soundtrack I believe the guitar hook on the main them was used by Norman (Fat Boy Slim) Cook on his "Funk Soul Brother" track some years back. Christopher Lee plays a type of villain that you really want to "boo and hiss" at and there's some terrible acting from Adam Faith, who was a teen heart throb at the time of filming. Strangely they use the opening film scene again later in the movie! and there is some really wacky editing.
enjoy......

4.0 out of 5 starsBeat Girl price hike.
By david stickland on 17 Mar. 2016
Format: DVD
Why the price hike. Beat Girl (Blueray) was offered at a reasonable price but seems to have shot up before it's UK release. Will stick to my standard version.
