"Long before Scorpio, Death Wish and Dirty Weekend led to a life of celebrity, Michael Winner was employed to make quota-quickies - films intended to fill the spaces before the major feature at your local fleapit. The equivalent of American grindhouse shorts, these films are a fascinating insight into early sixties Britain. For the first time, the Star & Shadow presents a festival of sure fire Winners"

Girls, Girls, Girls (1961)
Ladies!!! Ever wanted to know how to get into (or out of) a car without showing your knickers? Well, now you can see how it should be done in this documentary on what's required to make it as a top model in the early sixties.

Behave Yourself (1962)
Don't know your R-s from your L-bow. Well now you can learn how to mind your P-s and Q-s. A comedic exploration of how to be at ease in any social situation (and including a stellar cast of British character actors).

Floating Fortress (1959)
Well, hello sailor!!! Life on the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Victoria. Men under pressure in tight pants, sweaty uniforms, and with spectacular footage of fighter aircraft taking-off and landing. It's like a British Top Gun!
