About the Film: Often confused with the later Mae West film of the same title, this Sextet is a British comedy of manners and bedroom farce. The film attempts to riff off the success of Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice by delivering a UK-centric “merry game of musical beds” in swinging 70s London.

Collecting Notes (Australia): Australian daybill for Sextet (1970, Dick Clement) is not widely circulated, partly due to confusion with the 1978 Sextette (Mae West). Interest primarily from Attenborough and Ian Holm collectors, or those focused on 70s British cinema and Columbia Pictures back-catalogue. The "Suitable Only For Adults" classification circle adds vintage appeal.
Collector Insight: A niche collectible best appreciated by fans of British ensemble comedies or completists for the careers of Ian Holm or Richard Attenborough. Correct titling and accurate dating are essential for resale.
