Lots of knowledgeable folks on that board.

Part 1

Hello ladies and gentlemen. It seems almost impossible to believe that I could ever know where this scene came from was with such scant detail and a vague late 70s early 80s childhood memory of it. Now I was lucky to finally find out over 20 years later that an erotic American movie that I saw on TV back in 1996 was 'The Last Seduction' and it starred Linda Fiorentino and not Jeanne Triplehorn as my confused memory lead me to believe. I was lucky to find out from a fellow Australian on IMDB that a TV series from my childhood series about truckers (which I believed must have been American) with a theme song titled Maggie was in fact Australian and was called 'The Truckies'. This Truckies in particular gave me cause to wonder whether perhaps the 'party girl scene' may not have been American after all in spite of the details my dark distant childhood memory may have constructed. For several years now, I have made use off YouTube by scanning through countless 1970s exploitation movies to look for the party scene. All to no avail. It's not looking good

Part 2

A few days ago I watched a DVD of a bizarre old Australian Television comedy from the early 1970s called the Auntie Jack Show. Seeing the comedians on it, I was interested to find out more about the female actress/comedian named Sandra McGregor. Whether she was still alive and what else she had been in. Looking at her IMDB credits, I noticed a movie from 1974 staring Jack Thompson and appearing to be rated R. As unlikely as it was, I decided to see if it was on YouTube and you guessed it, scanned for any likely party scenes as described in the original post. Low and behold, something unbelievable happened. I came across a scene of a young woman's party being invaded by a group of bikies. One said "Your the birthday girl are ya" (only in a very Australian accent, not American). They ripped her dress leaving her in just a bra and pantyhose. Yes a character then came down the stairs (a young man gun, not her father) and shot it in the air, warning off the thugs. Her father did appear in the scene, but he got belted in the face with a telephone by one of the bikies and he wasn't the one who came down the stairs with the gun.

Part 3

Yes I am almost 70% certain that this is what I saw part of as a child. Unless someone knows of an American film from the time that had a copy cat scene in a Brady Bunch style house as my memory wanted me to believe, then I am getting ready to call this life long mystery solved. So the Movie is called 'Petersen' from 1974 and starred Jack Thompson, Jackie Weaver and many other well known Australian actors from the time. The girl who's Birthday was so rudely crashed by the thugs was a character named Annie played by a Christine Amor. An actress I had actually scene in later Australian productions. If only I could get hold of an old TV guide that proved to me that movie 'Petersen' did in fact screen on TNT Channel 9 (Tasmania) some time between about 1977 and 1981, my Euphoria or certainty level would immediately jump to above 90%. Never the less, for now I'm calling it solved. Oh and in America I believe the film was actually called Jock Petersen. The party scene starts as about the 26 minute 15 second mark.
