Percy's Progress *solved*

[becky1]

I have a challenging question. My friend watched a 1970's sex farce a

couple of years ago.

He and I are arguing over the name and who was in it.

The only thing he can remember is that at one point there was

a soho club scene with a group of around 10 oriental/asian go-go

dancers dancing on the stage all wearing platform boots.

I can virtually garantee that nobody will remember this film as I

can't even find its title and cast members on the internet.

I don't think the lead actors were Robin Asquith or Barry Evans,

may have been but I have checked these films out.

I would imagine only a film brain of britain would be able

to answer this question. Can anybody help please?

Could it be one of the "Adventures of" series with Christopher Neil? Plumbers Mate,Private Eye?

Yes it could be! I will try these. Thank you for your help

It's not NO SEX PLEASE, WE'RE BRITISH, as there are no club scenes in that one. It all revolves round the misposting of pornography to a clerk's flat above a bank and the misadventures which ensue whilst the unfortunate recipients try to dispose of the stuff before the bank manager sees it... It's all set in Windsor, not Soho, too.

I think we should try narrowing this down a bit. There were a number of these issued on UK video back in the early 90s:



Medusa:

Come Play with Me

Emmanuelle in Soho

Eskimo Nell (a most likely candidate)

Groupie Girl

Love Box, The

Naughty! A Report on Pornography and Erotica

Wife Swappers, The



Then there were those issued on the Jezebel label (whom I worked for at the time):



Au Pair Girls

Can You Keep it Up for a Week?

Confessions of a Sex Maniac

Cruel Passion

Four Dimensions of Greta

Love Variations

Monique

School for Sex

Sex Thief, The (directed by none other than Martin Campbell!)

Tiffany Jones (withdrawn after a few days after its star, Anouska Hempel bought the rights out)

Virgin Witch

Yellow Teddy Bears, The

Zeta One



Then you have the usual run of the mill 'Adventures' and 'Confessions' movies:



Adventures of a Plumber's Mate

Adventures of a Private Eye

Adventures of a Taxi Driver

Best of the Adventures, The (compilation)



Confessions from a Holiday Camp

Confessions of a Driving Instructor

Confessions of a Pop Performer

Confessions of a Window Cleaner



And the Mary Millington stuff:



Confessions from the David Galaxy Affair

I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight

Intimate Games

Mary Millington's True Blue Confessions

Playbirds, The

Queen of The Blues



It's quite likely one of the above, and I'd guess it's most likely Martin Campbell's ESKIMO NELL (1975). If it isn't.... do I really want to sit through some of these again to find the scene in question?

[sanndevil]

I thought of COOL IT CAROL! (1970) but that stars Robin "Squiffy" Asquith so perhaps not.

[Jack Gurney]

Of course you want to sit through them all again, Marc. I know you only too well, dear boy...

[MarcMorris]

Only if you suppy the copius amounts of alcohol needed to get through that marathon of sexless comedy!



I've seen most of them so many times they all blur into one long endurance test of a movie.

Thanks for that! It now limits the film options I can think of. Hmmm ... This is becoming rather puzzling?

Thanks for the list. Its certainly not:

CONFESSIONS OF A WINDOW CLEANER 1974

DRIVING INSTRUCTOR 1976

POP PERFORMER 1975

From a HOLIDAY CAMP 1977

or

ADVENTURES OF A TAXI DRIVER 1975/76

Did you see it on video or DVD or TV? Approximately when? Can you remember anything about the packaging?

It was video from a video library about 15 years ago but was an old video then - 1970's

Packaging unknown

[David Brent]

Leslie Phillips starred in a lot of those Brit sex farce comedies.

Could it be 'The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins" (1971) which consisted of seven short stories based on the seven deadly sins including "Lust" ?

I remember there were girls in hot pants featured but I'm not sure of the Asian dancers.

I've never heard of this one!

I doubt you would - I made it up. Not a good joke,I admit. However,such concept of a film makes the mind boggle a bit
