After seeing a rough cut of the film, Sullivan and representatives of the distributor Tigon thought the film needed more nudity as well as more Mary Millington, so several additional scenes—including Mary's big scene with Marks' regular Howard "Vanderhorn" Nelson—were filmed. The "add-on" nature of these scenes to the narrative is sometimes apparent. a b Sweet, Matthew (24 November 2000). "No sex please; we're bored". The Guardian . Retrieved 8 September 2017.

Now four ‘porn audios’, which she recorded to accompany the magazines she posed for, have been pressed onto vinyl for the first time. Harrison Marks had written Come Play With Me 's script in 1970, not long after making The Nine Ages of Nakedness, but it was to remain on the shelf while in the ensuing years he was declared bankrupt, was the subject of an obscenity trial, and drank heavily. He made ends meet during this period by shooting short softcore sex films for the British 8mm market, as well as hardcore, blue movie shorts for overseas. Come Play With Me: Part 2 (1980): unrelated Swiss sex film directed by Erwin C. Dietrich, re-titled by Tigon and David Sullivan and promoted as a "sequel" to the earlier film. Come Play With Me: Part 3 (1982): unrelated Swiss sex film again directed by Dietrich, re-titled by Tigon and David Sullivan and promoted as a second "sequel" to the earlier film. Mr Curran said: "This Mary Millington record is a slight foray into the world of tongue-in-cheek spoken word from a fascinating character and of course a unique slice of local history.

A restored version of the film was released on Blu Ray in 2020 by Screenbound Pictures as part of the Mary Millington Movie Collection. [12]

The gatefold sleeves for the Mary record are handmade, with hand pulled screen print artwork with sleeve notes by journalist and documentary film-maker Simon Sheridan. Sheridan is to be congratulated not only for his excellent research, but also for treating Millington with dignity. A first-rate job, the book explores an avenue of British cinema that has mostly been swept under the carpet. At last both it and Mary Millington receive the recognition they deserve. -- Film ReviewWe want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.
