From nudies to roughies to ultra weird regional curiosities, the sexploitation world welcomed any filmmaker working in any genre, so long as the limits of nudity and sex on screen were pushed as far as they could go - but never all the way. DISTRIBPIX, one of the legendary names in the genre (and whose extensive library will be the backbone of this line), will offer single, double, and even triple feature Blu-rays highlighting works from every corner and crevice of softcore smut, from the dawn of nudie cuties to the all-but-hard 70s, with plentiful lost and never on disc films along the way.
Few names are more synonymous with the British sexploitation business than Stanley Long. For close to two decades, Long produced nearly two dozen blockbuster nudies, often working with notorious filmmaker Derek Ford, while pushing the limits of the British Board of Film Censors. Presented here are a quartet of his most ribald and rebellious efforts, all newly restored in 4K by Distribpix, from their best surviving film elements.
In THE WIFE SWAPPERS, a stern-faced doctor hosts a series of case studies focused on the often unsettling world of swingers. Director Derek Ford and producer Long’s first international hit played British cinemas for months, and helped to usher in a more permissive era in the country’s film industry. Featuring James Donnelly (Scum, Crown Court).
A small-time rock band and their young female admirers-cum-lovers embark on a cross-Britain tour in GROUPIE GIRL, and the girls discover the darker side of the musicians they adore. An earnest and sobering examination of groupie culture, director Derek Ford works from a strong screenplay co-authored by regular Long collaborator, Suzanne Mercer. What happens when a man isn’t satisfied with only his wife for a lover?
A series of light-hearted vignettes expose SEX AND THE OTHER WOMAN. Long takes on directing duties in this more farcical, upbeat comedy which piles on both high jinks and non-stop nudity. Featuring Maggie Wright (Twins of Evil) and Jane Cardew (The Flesh and Blood Show).
ESKIMO NELL tells the tale of a first time director trying to make a “serious” art film, who finds himself in over his head as each of his financial backers demands a very different, and far sexier, final product. A hilarious meta-comedy about the state of the British exploitation film industry directed by Martin Campbell (GoldenEye), co-scripted by and starring Michael Armstrong (Mark of the Devil), and starring veteran comedian/actor Roy Kinnear (Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory).

"The The Naughty World of Stanley collection is a fantastic set to have all in one box, especially for fans of classic British comedy and the cheeky style that defined Stanley Long’s work. The presentation is amazing, with great artwork, solid restorations, and a package that really feels like a proper celebration of this era of British cinema."
"Nice release of the British film makers early 1970s films. Fun storylines and interesting movies. Comes with an informative booklet."
"Such a delightful little box of films produced and some directed by Stanley Long. A good mix and a time capsule of London in the wife swappers. Great tranfers and great extras. Highly recommended."
"Groupie Girl is a classic of its kind (with a great soundtrack), and would make a great double-bill with Lindsay Shonteff's Permissive. The Wife Swappers has some great old footage of London. The other two films are less essential (I've never liked Eskimo Nell), but this is a great package, and hopefully we'll get more of this kind of thing."
"Stanley Long was one of the better UK sexploitation purevyors, and these films are definitely worth checking out. So happy to 'Groupie Girl' in HD and hopefully some US peeps will enjoy the genuinely funny 'Eskimo Nell'. The transfers look great considering what Distribpix had to work with, and props for getting Gavin Whittaker and Oliver Carter involved in the supplements. If this sells well, bring on the John Lindsay box set, and maybe even a Quality X edition of 'Diversions' (hint hint!)"
"This is a great collection of four of Stanley Long's UK softcore sex cinema films. My favourite is Eskimo Nell and it's witty send up of the sex industry. The hardcore reels in the extras are a rare addition, one of which features 60's pin-up model June Palmer! Great set with cool slipbox art."
"Excellent release collecting some of Stanley Long's movies. Packaging is top notch as always."
"Great collection of movies with awesome special features that help contextualize them! It’s why Distribpix remains my favorite sublabel!"
"Long’s films—often dismissed as mere “sex comedies”—are, on closer inspection, radical meditations on desire, class, and the performative absurdity of British social life. The recurring structures of misunderstanding and exposure are not laziness, but deliberate ritual: a cyclical dismantling of repression, played out through bodies rather than dialogue. Worth the watch"
"The Naughty World of Stanley Long is a genuinely entertaining collection that highlights the playful side of British exploitation and comedy cinema. The films have a light, mischievous energy that makes them easy to watch, and there’s a surprising amount of fun in how self-aware and cheeky they can be. The included extras add a lot to the experience. They provide useful background on Stanley Long’s career and filmmaking style, helping give context to material that could otherwise just be viewed as novelty. It makes the set feel more curated and historically interesting. As a release, everything feels thoughtfully assembled. The presentation is clean, the packaging is attractive, and the overall set has a strong collector appeal without feeling overly flashy. Overall, this is a well-produced release that captures the charm and humor of a very specific era of British cult cinema."
