Freddie (David Kernan) is a fashion columnist who's really enjoying his
job - but his girlfriend Rosalie (Andrea Allan) has a problem with his
occupation, what with him being surrounded by beautiful models all the
time, who really seem to enjoy his company even. So when he's hired by
Fanthorpe (Derek Aylward), a publisher of a conservative range of
magazines, all problems seem to be solved. Thing is, Freddie has his first
day at work on the wedding day of Rosalie's parents (Tom Gill, Mae Bacon),
and when he's invited to Fanthorpe's country estate, he finds out that his
conservative rags are only a facade for his range of men only magazines,
which Freddie is actually to write for, and his mansion is filled with
beatiful girls, all wearing bikinis - or less. Freddie sure enjoys his
time at the mansion, but then Rosalie comes to fetch him ... and Rosalie's
father. And above of that, the local priest and a few church ladies have
chosen that day to pay Fanthorpe, whom they believe to be a conservative
force, a surprise visit ... A film that's at the same time
nothing special and a great document of its time. "Nothing
special" because it's a fairly routine titilating comedy, but with
the "titilating" mostly restricted to allusions, there's no
actual nudity or naughtiness in this one, and as far as comedy goes, it's
rather mildly amusing than laugh-out-loud funny (but on the flipside stays
away from too much bad slapstick, a staple of erotic comedies). At the
same time though the movie is a rather wonderful time capsule, filled with
1960s fashion, music, and mindset (especially towards sex), which in turn
makes this one much more enjoyable than it actually ought to be. By
the way, German producer/director Günter Hendel extended this film with
some naughty footage and released it as Der Porno-Graf von Schweden
("The Porn-Count of Sweden") in 1969.
