豆知識

Outer Touch is a 1979 British science fiction sex comedy film directed by Norman J. Warren and starring Glory Annen, Barry Stokes and Ava Cadell. The screenplay was written by Andrew Payne from a story by David Speechley.

Production

After Loving Feeling (1968), Norman J. Warren had moved away from sex comedies and gone on to direct the horror films Satan's Slave (1976), Prey (1977) and Terror (1978). Outer Touch was inspired by Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977): the original script, presented to Warren by producer David Speechley, was called "S.E.C.K." (Sexual Encounters of the Close Kind).

The film was made on a budget of £350,000 to £400,000 (roughly £1.72 – £1.97 million in 2025). Production began on 22 January 1979 and ran for four weeks. The film was mostly shot at Twickenham Studios and Bray Studios, with the opening scenes filmed on location in Marble Hill Park, Twickenham.

The section of spaceship that appears in the park was created using scaffolding covered with plastic sheets. The lighting of these scenes was intended to pastiche Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Some of the props were first used in Star Wars, which was being filmed at the nearby Pinewood Studios.

The scale model shots of the spaceship were stock footage originally filmed for the TV special The Day After Tomorrow (1975). Due to the variety of shots used, the appearance of the ship changes throughout the film.
