A Night At The Drive-In w/ JUNGLE STREET GIRLS & THE PLEASURE GIRLS

Presented In Sinorama! David McCallum (Man From UNCLE) and Jill Ireland take us to the world of striptease clipjoints! Klaus Kinsky shows us the world of 1960's swinging women in mod London!

Jungle Street, released in the US as Jungle Street Girls, is a 1961 black and white second feature British crime drama directed by Charles Saunders and starring David McCallum, Kenneth Cope, and Jill Ireland. The screenplay was by Alexander Doré from a story by Guido Coen.

A young man attempts to escape his working-class background and win the girl he loves through crime. Chibnall and McFarlane in The British 'B' Film wrote that the film "remains a piece that is wonderfully evocative of the era."

Jill Ireland was married to David McCallum when they made JUNGLE STREET GIRLS

In Sixties British CInema, Robert Murphy wrote: "Without wishing to deny the film's flaws, its exploration of a grimy world of shortened horizons and stunted development which affluence has touched in only the most superficial way is fascinating. And its young protagonists, David McCallum, Kenneth Cope, Jill Ireland – fragile, brutal, vulnerable, rebellious – are disturbingly true to life."

When Sally moves to London to pursue a modelling career, she moves in with Angela and Dee and discovers the world of the carefree "bachelor girl" in the Swinging London of the 1960s. Over one weekend – filled with parties, blossoming friendships, and romantic encounters with Keith and Nikko – the vivacious women learn about life's pleasures and pains.

In a 2010 interview O'Hara said: "Probably our biggest star was Klaus Kinski, who got £900 for 10 days work in the film, just before he went off to appear in Dr. Zhivago. The entire shoot was only 20 days. It was shot in a house in Kensington; we didn’t have the money for a studio. Plus, it made the whole thing that much more realistic. Michael Reed shot it; he was very fast, very good. ... I hated the title, and I hated the title music. It had nothing to do with the film! But they didn’t consult me about it, so that’s what happened. Still, I think the movie is rather good."

Sight and Sound wrote: "The London portrayed here is in transition and full of contradictions; we're on the cusp of the permissive Swinging 60s, and there are new freedoms for bachelor girls sharing a flat. At the same time, the old hierarchies are still in place – 'nice' girls don't have sex before marriage. ... It's a fascinating social document and is less dated than might be expected. Some of the dialogue may now grate a little but there is menace and intensity to the storytelling.”
