Wanting to spend some time at her friend Edward's (Ronald Curram) villa in
Nice, Fiona (Fiona Richmond) finds it being emptied by Robert (Anthony Steel),
the actual owner of the house, whom Robert seems to owe quite some money. &
since she has nothing better to do, Fiona tells Robert the story of her life:
Of how she, an innocent country girl & daughter of a vicar (Arthur
Howard) was introduced to sexuality by her chemistry teacher Mr Foster (Neil
Cunningham), & later was thrown out of her father's home when he caught her
having sex with a stranger.
As a stewardess, she always was eager to accomodate her passengers in any
way posible, even if that meant sexual intercourse during some turbulences (or
causing some turbulences ?). And as stewardess she also made her first lesbian
encounter.
Soon she starred as top stripper in an erotic stage-show, but she soon
became fed up with it when she noticed people only loved her body, not her
brains. So she started to mngle with the art world, but felt terribly out of
place ... until she met (above mentioned) Edward, whom she persuaded to publish
her autobiography - which was mainly about her having sex with various men in
various countries.
The book, which was garnered with nude pictures of her, became a runaway
hit, & soon she was the talk of the town. So she decided to take a job as
writer for Men Only-magazine, where editor Duncan (Victor Spinetti)
persuades her to write ever naughtier stories - & sionce she is a very
responsible reporter (in her field) that means for her reports, she has to
sleep with truckers, train conductors & even aristocracy ... but after a
while all this got too much for her & she decided to go to Nice to spend
time with Edward ... which brings us to the here & now again.
Robert & his Repo-men have emptied Edward's home & when they are
about to leave, they hear police sirens - which leads to Robert leave in rather
a hurry & make sure Fiona accompanies him ... but soon the police stops
them, Robert is revealed to be the top burglar of this end of France, & he
& Fiona are handcuffed to one another ... but when a camerateam shows up
wanting to shoot a documentary about Fiona, Robert seizes the moment of
confusion & gets away with Fiona, who is more than willing to embark on
another adventure ...
As erotic comedies from the 70's go, this one is pretty good, as it has a
relatively coherent storyline, a female lead, who, while no big actress, seems
to be in on the joke & gives a funny performance, & the script largely
refrains from too cheaop jokes. This of course does't make Hardcore a
masterpiece, but an enjoyable little romp - which is more than I can say about
most 1970's erotic comedies.
