I only sat through the entirety of this turkey for the purpose of writing a fair review.

As a parody of the seedier side of the film industry it's lame & not especially funny. I smirked once or twice, but that was it. The film doesn't in any way warrant the 18 certificate it has. In fact I doubt anyone older than 13 would enjoy it. There is nudity of course, but it's cheesy rather than erotic.

For the benefit of Doctor Who fans who may be tempted to get this in the hope of seeing a little more of Katy Manning, let me assure you that she doesn't show as much as a glimpse of thigh, let alone anything else. It was a standard trick of British sex comedies of the seventies to feature a well-known actress to bring in the crowds, who inevitably kept her clothes on throughout.

The faux bluegrass soundtrack music is intensely irritating & helped not at all by stupid slapstick sound effects throughout.

Imagine a Carry On film, with a much lower than usual budget, scripted by a bunch of schoolboys & you're on the right track. I read the other reviews, but decided to give it a chance anyway. Don't make the same mistake.
