Cool George Harrison and Film
I recently bought 'Au Pair Girls' 1972, Val Guest's last film and boy, was it a turkey! 1970's britsleaze.

But the interesting thing is that a large part of the film was made in Friar Park, the new home of reclusive George Harrison (of Handmade film fame), near Henley on Thames. according to the G. H. encyclopedia he came home and just found the crew filming in the garden, but some scenes suggest they were in the house.

Can anyone enlighten me about this oddity.

Interesting trivia.....Ingmar Bergman's daughter Anna Bergman did appear in some UK films of the AU PAIR GIRLS type.....

By no means Val's last film, let us not forget the 1982 Suzanne Danielle / Cannon and Ball classic 'The Boys in Blue'.

I remember reading in a Beatles fanzine that this pissed the Quiet One off so much that he upped the security and fenced off the property. It had apparently been pretty much an open house before, what with his Krishna mates and other assorted hangers on coming and going as if they owned the place.

So if there are scenes inside the house, probably they were filmed somewhere else? Perhaps even in a studio.
