Wikipedia article




'Groupie Girl' is a 1970 British drama film about the rock music scene, directed by Derek Ford and starring Esme Johns, Donald Sumpter and the band Opal Butterfly. The film was written by Ford and former groupie Suzanne Mercer.

Ford later complained to 'Cinema X' magazine "we were shooting in a discotheque one Saturday night and my ears rang right through to Monday morning. I was sick -physically sick- on Sunday from the noise level we suffered".

The film was released in America in December 1970 by American International Pictures as 'I am a Groupie' and in France in 1973- with additional sex scenes- as 'Les demi-sels de la perversion' ('The Pimps of Perversion'). The film was later re-released in France in 1974 as 'Les affames du mle' ('Man-Hungry Women') this time with hardcore inserts credited to Derek Fred.

Groupie Girl was released on UK DVD in January 2007 on the Slam Dunk Media Label as part of the Saucy Seventies series (the earlier US DVD release on the Jeff films label is an unauthorized bootleg.)
