Product Description
Book Description
Keeping the British End Up - The updated third edition of
Simon Sheridan's classic history of British cinematic sex. The tradition of
'saucy postcard' humour - boobs, bums and boorish innuendo - is perhaps
best exemplified by the long running `Carry On' movies, but there is also a
forgotten cinema of saucier 'X' certificate movies. Who could forget the
quivering delights of The Wife Swappers, The Sexplorer, I'm not Feeling
Myself Tonight! and Adventures of a Plumber's Mate? Actors like Joanna
Lumley, Leslie Ash, Joan Collins, Pauline Collins, Elaine Paige and Valerie
Singleton all have naughty credits which they probably leave off their CVs,
but the likes of Robin Askwith, Fiona Richmond and the late Mary Millington
became sex superstars in movies which pushed the limits of censorship.

Simon Sheridan traces the development of the British sex film from its
humble beginnings in coy nudist camp frolics like Some Like It Cool
(directed by Michael Winner in 1960), through to its boom years with 1977's
bonkbuster Come Play with Me and the titillating `Confessions' films, to
the genre's eventual demise following censorship clampdowns and the
introduction of home video in the early 1980s. Sheridan compiles a
definitive X-rated filmography, and coaxes the facts from previously
reclusive and reluctant interviewees. The story that unfolds is often
funny, sometimes tragic, but undeniably revealing.
Keeping the British End Up also includes dozens of rare photographs and a
foreword by 70's sexbomb Sue Longhurst (`Secrets of a Door-to-Door
Salesman') and afterword by comedian Johnny Vegas (`Sex Lives of the Potato
Men').
