British lads chase available birds around the seaside; avid shutterbug who 'collects' young lovelies may have found the girl who has won his heart and not just his libido. As directed by Michael Winner, photographed by Nicolas Roeg, and starring a somewhat-green yet still charismatic Oliver Reed, "The Girl-Getters" is full of blooming talent yet is a rather mediocre drama about would-be jaded boys and girls contemplating sex (the hunt for a willing girl seems to be more exciting to the guys than the actual conquest). It's hard to get an accurate reading on the youthful Reed: his heavy lids and soft, persuasive bedroom voice ooze false sincerity--but when put on the spot by the teasing model who sort-of fancies him, he suddenly becomes a deadly serious grown-up contemplating his feelings. The rock 'n roll music and pre-Swinging London fashions (and morals) are interesting, but Winner's quasi-documentary style is scattershot, and the plot doesn't gather much momentum. *1/2 from ****
