4.0 out of 5 starsSaucy Fun
By M. Dowden HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 1 Jun. 2009
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
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.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsNell does well
By Richard Bowden on 8 Sept. 2006
Format: DVD
In the artistic wasteland of 1970s' British sex comedies (and arguably a good deal of British cinema at that time altogether) Eskimo Nell shines out as a modest beacon of wit, satirical in a way that still strikes a refreshing note. These days no doubt, Morrison and Tweedle would be assigned to work on several cheap UK gangster films at once, as that's the genre which has lately shown the greatest lack of nerve in the home grown industry. Back then, with UK's business in worse decline, it was such dire products as Come Play With Me (1977), that exemplified a depressing wave of home grown 'sex' films, neither sexy or arguably, real cinema at all: just the sad, exploitative effects of a restrictive lack of investment, and censorship. Together with the slightly more family orientated Confessions... series and the even softer saucy postcard world of the Carry On... series, this is what represented the officially sanctioned 'adult' industry at the time.

Eskimo Nell's satire therefore had in its sights a ripe and obvious target, although it is still frequently overlooked as just another sex film of its time. Its a perception not helped by its small budget, mediocre (if enthusiastic) acting as well as a lingering air of titillation characteristic of the genre. Real life actor-screenwriter Michael Armstrong, whose previous film was the more predictable It Could Happen to You (aka: Intimate Teenage Secrets, 1975) - which would never the less make an interesting double bill with his Nell - made the hard to see crime factional drama Black Panther (1977) after this, before disappearing into TV and the humdrum. Greater things have come of the director Martin Campbell however, as he has since made such films as GoldenEye, Vertical Limit, as well as just being engaged on Casino Royale.Read more ›

Funny, and as it says - saucy comedy - some brilliant tongue in cheek performances - easily the best of its kind. I think this was the very first dvd I bought on Amazon - so good I never looked back.

3.0 out of 5 starsA bit dated but none the less, entertaining
By Tin Tactoo VINE VOICE on 17 Oct. 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Never saw it when it first came out so viewed it with a 'clear mind' but it's very dated, made 'on the cheap' one would venture to say and those thinking it's full of the 'undressed' running around, you will be disappointed!. As a curio of it's time, it's not bad but would not crawl over broken milk bottles to see it again!
