AS FILM: SWINGING SIXTIES The Pleasure Girls Gerry O'Hara 1965
Key points: First 15 minutes analysis
Female focus / subjects.
Rural to Urban move (travelling to London which is where we see a swinging representation.)
Leaving home to live with a group of friends (independent life, not marriage) reflecting the more relaxed attitudes of the 60s.
Working as a model - female employment, modelling was also very fashionable.
Cosmopolitan city - the Australian flatmate, the homosexual brother.
Positive representation of homosexuality - this male is fun, kind, confident and likeable.
Fashion references; hairstyles, shaving legs, minidresses.
Promiscuity; references to all the men the Australian flatmate brings home.
Party invite; dancing, drinking, meeting men.
