Poster Of The Day - The Single Girls (1974)

Now this is a great poster. Who does not want to see a movie where the girls are "half clad - all bad?" The poster sets up what looks a Seventies sexploitation drama or comedy. The title is reminiscent of films like The Student Nurses, The Student Teachers and The Swinging Cheerleaders. It promises uninhibited hotties taking long, sensuous showers...or is that just me? We have a trio of scantily clad hotties, front and center. There's also cheeky tag line ("If they couldn't get him easy...they got him hard.") and the promise of an exotic location (lamp trees, light house). On closer inspection, there is one oddity - the ax heading for the couple in the mid-left. Huh.

Well, that actually is a hint at what the film really is; a hybrid between a sexploitation/stalker movie. It's all pretty tame - not enough nudity or blood to be very interesting - but the film does have Claudia Jennings, who is one of my favorite B-movie starlets of the Seventies. This also gives me an excuse to post a photo of Jennings, which I will do at any and every opportunity.

While the film itself isn't great, the poster is pretty good. It's not exactly accurate, since it promises a conventional tits and ass flick of the kind that populated that drive-in screens of that decade, not the tepid giallo-esque film actually made. One item of note: the writers/directors/producers - Ferd and Beverly Sebastian - are a husband and wife team that made some pretty entertaining films in their time, including the amazing Claudia Jennings vehicle 'Gator Bait. And, you know something, being able to make films with your spouse...that's pretty cool.

As promised, Claudia Jennings, Seventies babe extraordinaire.
