I saw The Set on Easter Tuesday 1969 as a 14 year old with a couple of school friends. We went to the Star Theaterette in Melbourne Australia. It was the hottest film on at the time. After a 4-6 week season at The Trak cinema, The Set moved to The Star (a theaterette playing "adult" movies.... necessary after the introduction of TV took away the theatre's livelihood in running continuous sessions of newsreels & cartoons).....and that is where we watched, with wide eyes, the fast set of Sydney society vomit across the screen! My love for camp exploitation films was made!! The promise of nudity was what attracted us, especially that of of afternoon TV guru ,Hazel Phillips...but a combination of inept acting, bad writing, sleazy plot lines, protracted nude scenes, gay and straight love scenarios and most importantly promises of big city "adventures" waiting for us when we grew up that seared an irreplaceable place in our minds.
I can't be the only one...PLEASE~release this seminal Aussie introduction into camp/bad/inept/sexploitation/gay/soap opera cinema!!
