Wild Affair, The

The lecherous boss, the hot secretary, an era that proclaims anything goes -- The Wild Affair captures the mid 60s in all its groovy glory. The story follows beautiful Marjorie Lee, who's looking for a bit of fun before she settles down to married life. She finds it at her company's Christmas orgy er, party. As partygoers twist and shout, propositions flow. Will virtuous Marjorie accept one? This time capsule of a film fascinates not just for its mirror on the '60s, but for its unexpected and intriguing cast. Nancy Kwan, who broke onscreen racial barriers as the star of The World of Suzie Wong, sports a Vidal Sassoon bob and trendy Mary Quant threads as Marjorie. Terry-Thomas, a stalwart of postwar Brit comedy and one of the stars of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, is the boss. Silent screen star Bessie Love, who once played Charleston-dancing flappers, portrays Marjorie's proper mum.
