Club Wild Side is where it all hangs out and a good shag is had by those on stage. The new recruits train hard, the men have testosterone-fuelled arguments between each other, there's bizarrely way too much chatting inbetween what pretends to be a sex scene and one woman even gets intimate with a mannequin!

A sultry female journalist finds that the way to further her career is to sleep to the top, one girl finally gets her beefcake and there's also the obligatory lesbian scene.

# "And STRETCH, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8..." #


Decent picture with no artifacts and soft-focus used as and when it's necessary. Presented in fullscreen, cue the obvious gag about zooming in the picture on a widescreen TV. The average bitrate is a wildly varying 5.5Mb/s.

Soft music, some groaning and clear dialogue, but it won't tax your speakers. It is presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 (Dolby Surround).

The handyman showed her the secret of 'uphill gardening'.


Extras :

Trailers for this film, plus three other Playboy titles, The Key To Sex, Losing Control and Life of a Gigolo.

Menu :

A static and silent collage of stills from the film.

Time for the tuppence-lickers.


Overall :

More soft-focus toss, which will fail to raise much interest in anyone. Still, if they're releasing it there must be a market for it somewhere.
