    In Reply To World Of Weird
    The actual quote is "There's something about a girl's neck that really turns me on!" It is spoken by Billy Boyle to Stephanie De Sykes when she takes him back to her flat to watch the sublime Noosha Fox (a.k.a. Susan Traynor) and the eponymous band warble "Imagine Me Imagine You" and a year before Fox's S-S-Single Bed. A Marlene Dietrich for the pineapple and cheese on a stick cocktail generation.

    Any film featuring a blacked up Barry Humphreys and The Rubettes is fine by me. A great double bill of early to mid seventies nostalgia would be to watch this with Never To Young To Rock, another celluloid wallow in Glam Rock with Dave Mount, a bewildered looking Freddie Jones and Peter "seperated at birth from Mud's Rob Davies" Denyer. Please Sir can I have some more?

    Best watched through the dimpled meniscus of a pint jug filled from a Watneys Party Seven and some Golden Wonder Cheese And Onion crisps.
