Synopsis
This bawdy British tale follows the exploits of a trio of filmmakers who want to adapt an erotic poem for the screen. Desperate for money, they get support from four different backers who each want a different movie: a family film, a martial arts musical, a gay western, and a sexy porno. The hilarious result is different films, and ESKIMO NELL is hot enough to melt the ice away.

4.0 out of 5 stars At last, a mucky movie that's a laugh as well!, 19 Dec 2003
By R. A. Caton "Arcaton" (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Eskimo Nell [1975] [DVD] (DVD)
I've seen this movie at the old ABC (paired with "The Cobblers of Umbridge" it was the first "X" I ever saw!)on VHS and now DVD.
It is a truly funny film; being the tale of a newly graduated film-maker (plenty of in-gags) who gets suckered into making a movie based on the old risqué poem "Eskimo Nell"...and later through the crookedness of others finds himself having to make four separate versions to please four different(very different!) financial backers. There is enough beautiful bare flesh to satisfy;but what makes this movie worth paying out for is the comedy; excellent gags beautifully timed by a stalwart cast of seasoned British veterans. There are a lot of well known faces in this flick, trust me!
Oh: for Dr Who fans, Katy Manning is in this one!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Painful, 18 Mar 2007
By Mr. D. I. Watson "0 + 2 = 1" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Eskimo Nell [1975] [DVD] (DVD)
This purile film is simply not amusing in any way. The promising plot was completely squandered and the humour was misogynstic and offensive. I watched it with three friends and it was a grim experience, encompassing all the reasons the British were so bad at sex comedies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Saucy Fun, 1 Jun 2009
By M. Dowden (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Yes most of us know the infamous Ballad of Eskimo Nell, but imagine trying to film it. Dennis has just got his first directing job at B.U.M. Productions and is given the task to make this film. Harris, who would much rather be doing a nature documentary has to come up with a script, but there is a problem. There are three backers to the movie, one wants a hard-core SM movie, another wants a musical martial arts movie, and the third wants a gay/spanking western.

If poor old Harris hadn't got enough problems with this, Benny the owner of B.U.M. Productions does a runner with the money. Dennis, Harris and their friend find that if they can't come up with a movie to please all three backers they are liable for all costs etc. Dennis' girlfriend thinks she has a way to solve the problem and so her mother, in league with her morality committee put up money for the film. Now Harris has to come up with a family version of the film. With four different backers each wanting something different the trio have to make four different versions.

Everything seems to be going alright, until the films get mixed up, will the boys be able to get back the wrong version of the film before the Royal Premiere? Yes, things are up the spout, the hard-core SM version has been delivered to be shown before royalty, instead of the family version. With a plan to switch films the men are on course to save the day, but could things be that easy?

This film falls somewhere between the Carry On movies and The Confessions of.... films. There is very little nudity considering the subject matter, this film mainly relies on double entedres and good old comedy. A prime example of the saucy films that this country put out in the Seventies, which lets be honest only the British can do sucessfully, after all I can't think of a Hollywood movie that has come close to what we were doing. Then again there is something distinctive about British humour, and that we are always willing to mock ourselves. All in all, if you like a laugh and some mild titillation, this film should be right up your street.
