"Beat Girl" is a 1960 British film about late-fifties youth-rebellion. The title character is played by starlet Gillian Hills, who later went on to have numerous small roles in 1960s and 1970s films, such as "Blowup" and "A Clockwork Orange".

The music was done by a seven-player group of John Barry, who was then managing the star, Adam Faith. It is the first British soundtrack album to be released on an LP. The film also features Christopher Lee as a strip-joint operator, Oliver Reed, and Nigel Green. It features the film debuts of Adam Faith and Peter McEnery. The film was released in America under the title "Wild for Kicks" and featured additional strip tease scenes not in the British version with music not on the soundtrack album.
