A 1970s cash in on the popular Confessions series. This is hugely unsubtle, with obvious innuendo, wooden acting and leaden directing. Makes you realise just how well made and acted the Confessions films were.
However, it's flaws may contribute to its charm. Even thought I was aware that this was a technically terrible film, I couldn't help but laugh and enjoy every dumb joke or slapstick moment immensely. Yes, the build ups to the innuendos are obvious, but a child in me still tittered at them.
The reason for films like this was purely to get some smut on the screen at a time when censorship was rife. It was bundled up as comedies and made by people well aware they could reap the rewards of the promise of a few naked women on screen.
Just to make it even more worthy, there's a Benny Hill style chase at the end!

This film is a rip -off I suppose of the Confessions - Confessions Of A Window Cleaner/Confessions Of A Driving Instructor/Confessions From A Holiday Camp/Confessions Of A Pop Performer [DVD] or even Adventures of a...Collection (Plumbers Mate / Private Eye / Taxi Driver) [DVD] series of soft core UK sex comedies of the 1970's. However it lacks their subtlety, wit and sophistication (cough). I well remember as youth plotting and scheming to get into the cinema to see this film and the others like it but without success.
So here is my chance at last to get to see it. And what rubbish it is too. Dreadful acting, awful script, low as low can be production values, even the girls are not as fit as I remembered. This film is just as bad now as on the day (or perhaps both days) on which it was made.
I love it!
Yes, this film is truly awful, but as a way of reliving one's youth and remembering a time free of the hand wringing political correctness of today it can't be beat. Buy it.

Not quite confessions of.....
This is a typical 70's British sex comedy in the Confessions of type. Although not quite there, it doesn't do too badly at all..... Read more

Hilarious rudery!
I've known this item on tape, on the telly, and finally on DVD. Generally delighted with it, but still wondering how much PC cutting it is subjected to. Read more
