About The Au Pair Girls

Sexual high jinks ensue when four sexy, mini-skirted cuties arrive in London, all hoping to brush up on their English. After signing on at the Overseas Employment Agency, they are given somewhere to stay in exchange for simple housework chores. Due to their poor English, it's not long before each of them ends up in some rather compromising situations! This is classic British Sexploitation at its best!

I remember seeing this at the pictures (having bunked in, because I was too young).
I thought it was very funny at the time and that Gabrielle Drake was stunning.
Well, that sort of 'Mind Your Language' come 'Adventures of ...' humour has dated beyond recollection of anything amusing.
But it was well worth the dosh just to see Gabrielle Drake in all her glory again. July 28, 2007

The Au Pair Girls is somewhat dated - but the dialogue is so bad it is entertaining. The girls show off their bodies throughout the film in the most contrived and "innocent ways". One of the Star Au Pair Girls - was played by Actress Gabrielle Drake. She played a staring role in the Gerry Anderson TV series UFO as Lt Gay Ellis. Gabrielle Drake bares all in the Au Pair Girls. It is worth a look. July 4, 2005

rating: 2 QuoteMindless, campy British sexploitation from the early 70sQuote
Au Pair Girls is a prime example of the genre of saucy little sexploitation films that emerged out of campy British studios in the 1970s. Four foreign, nubile, young ladies come to England to better their English while serving in the households of sponsor families. Don't expect a documentary of the au pair work experience because the only thing these girls do is take off their clothes and engage in some 1970s sexual shenanigans. One of them is actually rather virginal, but that doesn't last long - not after she meets up with Ricky Strange, the most inexplicably popular pop star I've ever seen. Ol' Ricky looks like the evil, disgusting twin of John the Baptist. One girl, played by Me Me Lai (I kid you not) actually seems somewhat serious and industrious, but the unbridled geekiness of her new charge proves to be more than she can resist. Then you have a Swedish girl who couldn't outsmart a piece of paper. Oh, it's just horrible and, frankly, pathetic - although I have seen much worse than this.

I suppose all the nudity was wild and crazy back in 1972, but now it's just rather boring, and the men are just disgusting. This is the kind of movie that makes me want to get down on my knees and thank the stars above that I didn't have to come of age during the 1970s. August 20, 2004

Though I collect this movie as an eccentric genre of British 70's, I really don't like it. Looks like series of "Carry on...." british classic comedy movies. It tell you story about 4 overseas girl in London who seek for job, while studying language & culture, of course with all sexplotation. If you like british 70's, you'll like this movie. I mean you will enjoy the sound of carribean light jazzy, that make me laugh.

I think I got this recommendation from Amazon since I look for movie of Me Me Lay, a pretty Asian-English who appear on Jungle Holocaust. Really, I was amazed by her appearance as a cannibal in JH and hope I got the same or more appearance since this film 5 years earlier than JH. But I was dissapointed seeing her cubby cheek. O, she really magnificent in JH, but make me sick in this movie... May 13, 2003
