Shirts Up Knickers Down

About This Movie

So, 'Shirts Up Knickers Down' is this strange little comedy from 1972 that really dives into the absurd. The plot revolves around a car company that's selling these bizarre talking sex cars—yeah, you heard that right. They’ve even got a sex robot modeled after the director's niece, which raises all kinds of eyebrows. The tone is a mix of cheeky and surreal, and the pacing keeps things breezy, almost like a sketch comedy. You can’t help but admire the practical effects, even if they're a bit rough around the edges. It's definitely not your run-of-the-mill sex comedy; there's something distinctively quirky about the whole premise that sticks with you.

This film has a rather limited release history, making it a bit of a rarity among collectors. It's one of those oddities that often gets tossed aside but definitely has a niche audience who appreciate its unique blend of humor and bizarre themes. Original prints are scarce, and those who do have them often speak of the sheer strangeness that defines the viewing experience. It's always interesting to see how films like this capture the zeitgeist of their time.
