Trouser Bar is a 2016 British silent erotic comedy/fantasy film directed by Kristen Bjorn (born: Robert Russell), photographed by Sam Hardy, and edited by Esteban Requejo. The executive producer and driving force behind Trouser Bar is British screenwriter, playwright and producer David McGillivray, who famously collaborated with directors including Pete Walker and Norman J. Warren.
There has been much controversy over the authorship of "Trouser Bar"; accord to McGillivray, the, "Authorship of the [Trouser Bar] screenplay has not been unequivocally established. The authorship of the script of this film is unattributed. The producers of the film firmly discourage any speculation as to authorship. Pathetique Films can confirm that the script was passed on to them by the late Peter de Rome."[citation needed]
Focusing on a single "situation" in a menswear boutique in 1976, the short film has been described as an “erotic fantasy"[citation needed] in the style of a 1970s British sex comedy and does not include hardcore sex scenes. It features British comedians Barry Cryer and Julian Clary in cameo roles, along with actor Nigel Havers and London-based entertainer, Miss Hope Springs.
The production was first reported by Ben Beaumont-Thomas in an article in The Guardian newspaper on 26 November 2014, with David McGillivray quoted as saying "Nobody knows anything about this script. [The author]’s only screenplay. So next year, we are going to make... Trouser Bar. [The author] was obsessed with trousers, loved corduroy and leather. And so he wrote a film set in a menswear shop."[1]
