Critical reception

The Radio Times wrote, "Brendan Price does his best to rattle his pintas with panache. The most significant thing about this bawdy trash is what it says about the state of the British film industry at the time – it's sad that this was the only worthwhile work Diana Dors, Roy Kinnear and other talented actors could find";[3] while Sky Movies wrote, "much in the vulgar mode of dozens of 'Confessions', 'Adventures' and 'Up' sex romps of the Seventies, this one-man project (actor Derren Nesbitt wrote, produced and directed it) is a touch above that level, if only because its girls are at least sexy and its veteran cast is full of names who have seen better films and better days."[4]

gollark: One alternative interpretation I read somewhere was coordination problems - people don't do much because they feel like it won't be useful unless other people also do.
gollark: I'm not saying that they shouldn't care, to clarify, but that people don't, telling them their preferences are wrong is not really a winning strategy, and the lack of concern of most richer countries for poorer ones reflects most people's demonstrated attitudes.
gollark: Yes, exactly.
gollark: (also, global prosperity is generally going up, illiteracy & extreme poverty going down, etc.)
gollark: Anyway, I find those "various people die of easily preventable deaths → capitalism bad" things unreasonable. I suspect most people don't actually *care* about random people somewhere dying, given the fact that you can quite easily donate to very effective charities for e.g. helping fix malaria under the existing system, and yet nobody does this.
