Quick Answer

What is Come Play with Me about?

Come Play with Me is a 1977 United Kingdom comedy musical film directed by George Harrison Marks about two elderly forgers hiding out in a Scottish manor-turned-health farm, where risqué hijinks ensue.

Programmer's Pick

This is pure, unfiltered British sauciness: elderly counterfeiters, nurse uniforms, and a manor house that’s more romp than retreat. Mary Millington and a parade of topless co-conspirators keep the tone breezy and the towels optional. If you're after slapstick with your softcore, the manor’s doors are wide open.

Overview

Come Play with Me is a British sex-comedy set in the Scottish Highlands, where two elderly forgers, Cornelius Clapworthy and Maurice Kelly, are on the run from both their gangster boss and a cross-dressing government official. Seeking refuge, they pose as musicians and take up residence at Bovington Manor, a hotel desperately trying (and failing) to function as a health farm under the management of Lady Bovington. The manor is sparsely populated, affording the duo the freedom to continue their counterfeiting operation, though not without farcical complications. With its cheeky blend of musical interludes, slapstick setups, and liberal doses of nudity, the film delivers a randy snapshot of 1970s British sexploitation, all within the crumbling walls of a country estate where the guests and staff are equally uninhibited.
