in many ways it's quite impressive how un-sexy this sex film actually is. it's almost as if a great deal of time and effort and thought went in to making every scene as thrill-less and un-erotic as they could. it's a strange sort of victory, but a victory of sorts i guess. it's also got a weirdly mixed moralistic ending sort of stapled awkwardly on to the end of the film for no apparent reason

Thunderclap Newman come on -- and don't (repeat don't) perform their only hit "Something in the Air." That he succeeds hardly seems credible as once again this is a one- dimensional character and there's little exploration of why Karen would be drawn to such a sleazy character, although she does laugh at his lame jokes as though he's the world's greatest wit. He drags her off to watch Thunderclap Newman rehearse at a nearby venue, giving the film an unusual dose of historical cultural interest, and then takes her into what looks like a hotel room (but apparently isn't) and talks her into getting down to business whilst traffic noisily rumbles past outside. The fact that they close the curtains somehow fails to prevent a photographer from a neighbouring building capturing the moment for posterity. And so, the drama unfolds... Finally, the special 2 minutes of hard-core required several good men and true to step up to the mark. The one thing that I learn from watching this is that body painting had left the London sex scene as of 1971 and that heavy blue mascara could be worn all day long. Even in bed. Love the last sightings of the those wooden finished cars too.

Everything seems to revolve around Karen going to do her shopping in the local grocery store, where one of the assistants (unbeknown to her) has been spying on her through her bathroom window at night – not very successfully, as he seems to be incapable of keeping his binoculars in focus. One day the assistant is ogling Karen in the shop with the visiting sales rep Alex, and the latter wagers that he can get Karen into bed within three days.

The new freeview channel Talking Pictures TV, an offshoot of the Renown DVD label, have acquired the catalogues of several small British distributors, including the titles owned by Adrienne Fancey. This has meant that I've kept an eye on the channel over the last couple of months. They have been screening long-forgotten films that the Fanceys produced and distributed as well as an assortment of other rare and often unmemorable movies. Amongst these have been some British sex comedies and dramas from the 1970s, a bleak period in our nation's film history when actors were forced into drab, badly written movies for the entertainment of raincoat-wearing audiences. These movies were generally always profitable and therefore producers would rather make them than take a risk on something more wholesome or artistic. I am sure that when people like Luan Peters were taking their clothes off in grubby, brown bedrooms, they had little idea that the films would still be playing to audiences some forty years later. Luan Peters died on Christmas Eve 2017, aged 71, but her death was not made public until June 2018. [5] Discography [ edit ] Singles [ edit ] The camera-work was unobtrusive...thank the Lord, unlike nowadays when cameras can go up somebody's nose or come out of their ****, for no other reason except... that the camera can! The mood of suburbia and the boredom was well displayed. Also released as FRUSTRATED WIVES,NOT TONIGHT,DARLING has director Anthony Sloman(SWEET AND SEXY[a.k.a.:FOURSOME) and the scriptwriting duo of Ean Wood and Christopher Gregory structuring this film more as a slow moving drama than a rapidly moving sexploitation film,even if there is a couple of… By modern standards it is utterly unsexy - it as also unfunny, undramatic, badly lit, the leaden dialogue is almost inaudible (spectacularly drowned out by traffic noises at one point) and there is no resolution to the incredibly thin story.This is not meant to denigrate the lady in question or her acting talent but applies accurately to this production. It’s definitely affecting people,” says Kate Moyle, a psychosexual therapist and the host of the podcast The Sexual Wellness Sessions. “Generalised anxiety is at a higher level: there are threats to health, wellbeing, jobs, education or medical treatments. We’re not seeing friends or family. That increased anxiety can affect us inside the bedroom: people are reporting being more distracted, or that they find it harder to be in the moment, that they have more intrusive thoughts or more negative automatic thoughts.”
