Tiffany Jones is a 1973 British comedy film, based on the British daily comic strip series Tiffany Jones by Pat Tourret and Jenny Butterworth. It was directed by Pete Walker and starred Anouska Hempel as the titular character. Other roles were performed by Ray Brooks and Eric Pohlmann.[1] At the time the film didn't do well at the box office and got bad reviews. It has faded away in obscurity today.
Plot
Much like the comic strip the film centers around Tiffany Jones, a photo model in swinging London and features some female nudity. However, here she also has a double life as a secret agent. The plot follows her as she tries to topple an Eastern European dictatorship in the fictional country Zirdana.
Distribution
This film appeared on screen and later on cable TV in the 1970s and 1980s. It also saw a VHS release. It is rumoured that in 1998 lead actress Anouska Hempel bought the UK rights to the film and has kept it out of circulation or distribution ever since. [2] However, a quick search on Amazon proves that this is not the case.
