Four Dimensions of Greta (1972) is a low budget British comedy sexploitation film, directed by Pete Walker, featuring four 3-D film sequences. It was the first British film to be made in 3-D,[1] and the tagline on the poster read, "A girl in your lap".[2] The film is also known as "The Three Dimensions of Greta".
Plot
Hans a young German journalist arrives in London to write an article about au-pair girls, but is requested by friends to investigate the whereabouts of their teenage daughter Greta. He interviews four individuals who all paint distinctly different pictures of the missing girl - each revealing a different aspect or dimension. These reminiscences constitute the film's 3-D sequences. Hans finally tracks down Greta and discovers she has been kidnapped by an East End gangster. [3][1]

Critical reception
- The Spinning Image wrote, "thrusting a banana at the camera is evidently not as erotic as director Pete Walker might have hoped." [4]
- The Digital Fix noted an "amusingly daft sex film" [5]
- DVD Drive-in said, "although the title boasts "3-dimensional," the characters are almost all 1-dimensional...Only Robin Askwith (star of Horror Hospital and numerous "Confessions" and "Carry On" flicks) turns in a memorable performance as a shabby footballer romantically tied to Greta." [1]
