Exploitation Theatre

I'm just not that big fan of porn, I'm not trying to hide any information here - I seriously get distracted by the bad acting and the unrealistic plots (some lucky fella might call the plots realistic) and I especially hate things like people looking at the camera, one thing I do like about dodgy pornos is of course the dialogue and the music. The dialogue more often then not is hilarious. These last few lines I'm mostly talking about hardcore porn and softcore thrillers, there is one type of "porn" (I use the term loosely from now on) I love - The 70s Sex Comedy Porn -

Now I'm not somebody who watches these sort of films for jolly's (read: wanking) and find it hard to imagine that anybody could or would. One film I saw recently was Eskimo Nell (1975) produced in Great Britian and starring Christopher Timothy (All Creatures Great and Small), Roy Kinnear (Veruca's dad in Willy Wonka) and Christopher Biggins (THAT camp guy) - if that's not a great cast then I don't know what is -

The film's plot is about a director and writing securing the funds for a film from 4 different people/groups and all 4 of them wanting something different, here's what they ask for...

• A family movie involving eskimo's.
• A filthy as hell hardcore porn movie.
• A kung-fu musical featuring Nuns (?)
• A gay cowboy movie (beating Brokeback Mountain by 30 years - though it doesn't feature any of the emotion and unrequieted feelings of that movie - it does include a spanking though)

Most of the films funniest moments come from scenes been shot from the 4 movies, the family movie's dialogue comes across as completely filthy, the unbelievable scenes from the kung fu musical and the performances of the "actors" in the gay cowboy movie.

This film is massively enjoyable with a really excellent performance by Roy Kinnear as Benny U. Murdoch (B.U.M) and the really annoying American actress (I need to look up her name) which help make this a movie I can strongly recommend.
