When a Soho artist lands a gig painting nude hostesses, his home life gets an unexpected sketch.
GIRLS COME FIRST
Girls come first... and that's a big problem!
Up and coming portrait artist Alan Street is employed by the owner of a Soho Swingers Club to paint the nude hostesses. Whilst Alan relishes his new job his beautiful girlfriend is less than impressed.
Proof that in 1975, British comedy still knew how to stir the pot—and sketch it, too.
Joseph McGrath's cheeky comedy sends up Soho's saucier side, following Alan Street as he tries to balance his creative ambitions with relationship drama. Expect bawdy humor, a parade of colorful club characters, and a runtime brisk enough to leave you wanting one more drink at the bar.
