Peter-Spotting Card #23
	______________________________ ______________________________	1965 THE PLEASURE GIRLS a Compton Production written & directed by Gerry O'Hara starring Ian McShane, Francesca Annis, Klaus Kinski, Mark Eden _______________________________________ "Where the city lights are brightest, you'll find the Pleasure Girls!" A swinging snapshot of London life in the 60's, "The Pleasure Girls" follows the travails of new girl around town Sally (Francesca Annis), who harbors dreams of a modelling career. But the world she encounters is somewhat shadier than she imagined... Peter arranged the stunts on the film, and he's also credited for his on-screen appearance... _______________________________________ Peter plays a thug called RAT-FACE, and he's one of the gang who confronts Nikko Stalmar (Klaus kinski) in the undeground car park, 72mins into the film... "We're here on behalf of your tenants!" There's a bit of banter, at first, setting the scene. And Rat-Face gets in on the act too: "What's all the talk? - We've got 'im, an' he's not gonna lip his way out of it!" Then Nikko flees, with the gang in hot pursuit. He kicks a jack in to their path and ducks beneath a car. But Rat-Face spies his hand creeping out, and he stamps on it! "I've got 'im!" Now the three can rough him up good! As they're doing this, Dee (Suzanna Leigh) arrives up top, at the garage... When we return, the gang have Nikko pinned against a van and Rat-Face rips off the guy's shirt... "Pity about this. Still, I expect you've got another one!" Rat-Face is now sent out front to make sure they're safe, where he spies Dee in the garage! Rat-Face rushes back... "We better get out of 'ere! Some girl's found the pump man - 'think she's called the cops!" And that's their cue to flee! _______________________________________ Did you know? • Rat-Face may have had a speaking role, but that doesn't sound like Peter's voice coming out of his mouth. We reckon it's been dubbed!
