The Office Party

The Office Party is a 1976 British sex comedy directed by David Grant and starring Alan Lake, Johnny Briggs, Pamela Grafton, Ellie Reece-Knight and Theresa Wood.[1] It depicts the sexual misadventures of staff enjoying an office party where a blue movie is one of the main attractions. The hardcore export version also exists.[2]

During the making of the film, Grant got into a furious row with Johnny Briggs, after Briggs refused to bare all for the film. Briggs feared such exposure could damage his reputation, and a furious Grant threatened to fire him. After the intervention of Briggs’ agent, a compromise was reached and Briggs performed the offending scene with his underpants on. Briggs later recalled this story in his autobiography, noting that after the film he vowed never to work with Grant again.[3]
