Adventures of a Plumber's Mate

Elaine Paige made her film debut in this British sex film.At the time the British film industry was in a very poor state.Often sex films were the only opportunity for actors to appear on screen.So that is the reason that Richard Caldicott appears.This film is a smaller budgeted version of the Confession series,which in turn took over when the Carry Ons had their day.This film is actually amusing in parts unlike the Confessions which were unfunny and crass.There is one very funny shot of a amateurs wobbling breasts.However Arthur Millard in his last film does rather exhibit his acting limitations.Rather redolent of the period.

This is a run of the mill British farce with lots of British sex. The Italians make sex look wholesome, the French make it erotic, the Americans make it dirty but the Brits laugh about it. Lots of nude ladies and I lost count of the bare boobs. But it's all quite harmless and fun, done in that "No Sex Please We're British" style. This movie won't win critical raves or film festival honours. But I happened to be alone all weekend and it was just the ticket Saturday night with a beer and a bag of chips (crisps?) after a hard day of laying wooden flooring. It's silly and saucy in the best British tradition.

Apparently the Adventures series is lower budget take on the Confessions series, which is really saying something due to how cheap those were. But while Confessions movies are still well regarded by some, the same can't be said for Adventures.

I will happily watch any British 70's sexploitation comedy, as that was their golden age and they did well at the box office. Its also interesting to see the UK in the decade I was born.

The faces are familiar to anyone who knows UK TV of the 70's, although the main actor I have no idea who he is.

This is your usual young man encounters randy housewife scenarios albeit without being that funny. Its hilarious to read some reviews talking about men being sexist, in the 1970's, as if you can judge by current standards, where people get arrested for tweeting a joke.

This is narrative about the main character owing thugs money and him trying to raise the cash as a payoff, but its not enough to make this an engaging film. I watched it for the 70's women. Slim, feminine and no tattoos. Where did women go?

I mean I had to, right? Maybe this pun is intended - although I did not premaditate it. I just came up with it - no pun intended with this one for sure. Now if you are thinking what I am thinking ... what am I thinking? All kidding aside: another sex comedy and the last of the Adventures trilogy. The man responsible for the movies had enough after the third outing (this one right here).

And it may be good to stop something before it goes down the drain ... ah well another pun. Maybe he could've fixed it too. Anyway, a lot of nudity and titilating things to see. But always used for humor rather than arousal - just like the movies before this one. You know what is up (sorry) and if you want to get down with it (again, so sorry ... maybe)

For once, a protagonist who doesn't smoke! I swear, they love their cigarettes in Great Britain, and it seemed in every sex comedy, someone is lighting up.

One of the movies from the British-made "Adventures" series, this one is actually a good one. A likeable Lothario plumber named Sid is having trouble paying the bookies and must get 1000 pounds paid to them or "else". In between plumbing jobs, he works for a small-time crime boss who gives him "jobs" to do, and they all go wrong for him. As with all movies in this series, people go naked, but here, there aren't any sex scenes for once, but there are some funny scenes created from the situations the plumber gets into.

Stephen Lewis, who played Inspector Blakey from "On The Buses", has a small role as Sid's boss, the aptly named B.A. Crapper. Yes, this is a very British film, with some people's accents being very difficult to decipher, but it's still worth seeing, although it's probably unavailable in the U.S. If you live in a British Commonwealth country, you'll find it.
