The Single Girls (also known as Bloody Friday and Private School) is a 1973 American exploitation film directed by Beverly Sebastian and Ferd Sebastian, and starring Claudia Jennings, Jean Marie Ingels and Greg Mullavey.
Ferd Sebastian said ". . . it was like a lot of the people were in the 70s. Searching for love in all the wrong places. It was meant to be a light, sexy show with a murderer on the loose." [2]
A group of men and women travel to a Caribbean resort to discover themselves sexually, but unfortunately one of them has also discovered that they like to murder people, too. [3]
Ferd Sebastian said this was the first film he made with his wife that "we had a crew on. We added a sound man, boom man and a gaffer." [2]
The film was shot in two main locatiosn - interiors at the Westlake Inn, Westlake Village, with all other locations were at Paradice Cove, in Malibu. [2]
The film features "Ms. America," co-written and performed by Bobby Hart of the Monkees fame. [4]
This film was made before 'Gator Bait (1973), which also starred the 1970 Playboy "Playmate of the Year" Claudia Jennings, but was released a year later. The Sebastians and Jennings became close friends while making The Single Girls and Jennings asked the Sebastians to write a film for her. That film was 'Gator Bait. [5]
