That Kind of Girl (1963) + Extras

London is in full '60s swing in THAT KIND OF GIRL, a shamelessly entertaining exploitation film that revels in sexual titillation while moralizing about the dangers of STDs. Retitled Teenage Tramp in the U.S., it follows blonde bombshell au pair Eva (Margaret Rose Keil) as she is pursued by a variety of tongue-lolling men, from an aging playboy to a protesting college kid. She twists the night away with them in a variety of dingy clubs and striptease palaces, until a checkup reveals that she has contracted VD. Shocked and awed, Eva tries to mend her ways, and tells each of her nighttime amours the truth, with explosive results. From the "Ban the Bomb" marches to crisp campuses and conservatively domestic homes, THAT KIND OF GIRL is an evocative and overheated vision of 60s London that has to be seen to be believed.
