DescriptionWhen nervous Fleet Street journalist Peter Bates (Martin Burrows, Nutcracker) is asked by his brash American boss (Thick Wilson, Come Play with Me) to spice up a magazine horoscope column with more sexual content, he rushes to meet a hard deadline! Tasked with sleeping with twelve different women of each astrological star sign, shy Peter grows in confidence as he romps his way through the zodiac.Unseen for nearly 40 years, Sex with the Stars is a lost classic from the British sex comedy era. Written by Tudor Gates (Barbarella) and directed by Syrian-born Anwar Kawadri, this ribald romp features some of the best-loved female stars of the late-70s, including Susie Silvey (The Playbirds), Nicola Austine (Queen of the Blues) and Rosemary England (Confessions from the David Galaxy Affair).Coupled with Sex with the Stars is Kawadri’s 1981 short film Waiting Room, which was mired in controversy upon it release due to its sexual content. Starring Georgina Hale (Ken Russell’s The Devils) and Trevor Thomas (Black Joy), it remains as shocking today as it was five decades ago.ExtrasWaiting Room – Anwar Kawadri 1981 Short FilmThe Zodiac Lovers – The Making of Sex with the Stars – Interview with Anwar Kawadri (Director) and Martin Burrows (Actor)Just You Wait – The Making of Waiting Room – Interview with Anwar Kawadri (Director) and Trevor Thomas (Actor)
