The film has an abysmal write up on the IMDb, and what a tragic life.....

Date of Birth 30 November 1945, Kenton, Middlesex, England, UK
Date of Death 19 August 1979, Walton-on-the-Hill, Surrey, England, UK (suicide)
Birth Name Mary Ruth Quilter
Height 4' 11" (1.5 m)
Mini Bio (1)

Mary Millington had trained to become a veterinary nurse, but a chance meeting with infamous London photographer John Lindsay changed her life. Under Lindsay's influence, Mary started to pose nude in dozens of photo spreads in British glamor magazines. From this she progressed into illegally made hardcore porn films. In 1974 she met up-and-coming publisher and film producer David Sullivan, and very soon she became the most recognizable nude model in the UK. Sullivan relentlessly promoted her through his magazines and starred her in his 1977 movie Come Play with Me (1977). The film ran for 201 weeks at one London cinema and broke box office records throughout the country. Other movies followed, but :Come Play with Me" still stands as the longest-running film in British movie history. Unfortunately, as Mary's fame increased so did her reliance on drugs. Persecuted by the police and becoming more and more paranoid about her looks, Mary tragically committed suicide on 19th August 1979.

It's quite, quite an amazing film: Come Play With Me.

So bad it was amazing? Because the write-ups call it in one word - dire with not one redeeming feature as a film.

As legal porn at the time it probably rates highly.

Amazing in a number of ways. I don't think it really can be described, to be honest - you just have to see it for yourself.

Bit pricey on eBay but;

"Come Play With Me" Digitally Remastered Special Edition DVD 1977 - on Amazon £5.99 post paid.

Lot of big names in it.

Intrigued? Tempted?

Don't think my wife would understand. Laughing out loud

Go on. She would think it bizarre.

The mother of Benedict Cumberbatch.

I remember her in the Lotus Eaters.

God bless her for producing such loveliness!
