Review Star Maidens (1976)

[michaellevenson]

A 70's kitsch Sci fi fluff! It's just been rereleased on DVD and described as a sex comedy. So perhaps I should put this in Britcoms , or Brit/Germancoms.
Gareth Thomas's appearance makes it sort of interesting. Lisa Harrow is good, and fans of Space 1999 series two will notice that elements of that show appear here , including various sets and sound effects.
