This, That and the Other, originally released as A Promise of Bed, is a 1969 British sex comedy directed by Derek Ford and starring Vanda Hudson, Victor Spinetti and John Bird.[2] It comprises a trilogy of separate stories.
Plot
Story 1. Susan Stress, a sex-crazed actress desperate for a role in a film, lures the producer's son into her apartment by persuading him to take raunchy photographs of her.
Story 2. George, a depressed loner on the brink of suicide, receives a visit from a young hippy girl, who brings her friends to his apartment after believing it to be the location of a swinging party with a suicide theme.
Story 3. A lascivious taxi driver takes a mysterious sexy girl to an isolated countryside retreat, and becomes involved in a psychedelic world of bizarre hallucinations.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A trilogy of slight, titillating sketches, short on comedy but rather better performed than these things usually are. The first story is largely a pretext for Vanda Hudson to appear in diaphanous flimsies, or less; the second, which has black comedy overtones, opens promisingly enough but deteriorates into a dull, drawn-out party scene; and the fantasy finale, with the cabbie continually asking 'What about my fare?' and being regaled by sundry ladies, including bare-breasted swimmers and a stripper covered in black hands which she removes one by one, hardly manages to raise a smile. The one barely memorable moment is provided by Miss Hudson being pursued round an apartment to the strains of the Light Cavalry Overture."[3]
