Derek Ford's debut film...
based on Leslie Toye's life as a Groupie

also known as I AM A GROUPIE

director: Derek Ford
starring Esme Johns · Billy Boyle · Richard Shaw · James Beck · Eliza Terry · Donald Sumpter

Esme Johns - in her only screen appearance - plays a young groupie named Sally, a character based on the exploits of Leslie Toye. Sally is a bored teenage girl who decides the best way to meet rock stars is to become sexually available to them. She goes on the road with a band called Opal Butterfly (real life British group English Rose) and gets more than she bargained for.
Darker and more perverse than the similar German film GROUPIE with Ingrid Steeger, this one is the debut project by filmmaker outcast Derek Ford [both movies were made in 1970]. Ford began his career as a scriptwriter, establishing himself with BLACK TORMENT for Robert Hartford-Davis in 1964 and then a handful of screenplays for Roger Moore's TV series The Saint. After GROUPIE GIRL, he drifted deeper into the exploitation market. On paper, Derek Ford made movies for Great Britain; however, he would then shoot additional hardcore scenes secretly at his home [with his wife Valerie] and deliver those movies to the International market (such an example is DIVERSIONS). Mr Ford died from a heart attack at age 62 in May 1995.
