Avengers '67: Set 1, Vol. 1
Released in DVD by A & E Entertainment (16 March, 1999)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Directors: Ray Austin, Peter Graham Scott, Roger Jenkins, John Krish, Robert Day, Jonathan Alwyn, Don Sharp, Don Chaffey, Bill Bain, and Robert Fuest
Is Venus about to attack Earth? Several members of the British Venusian Society think so, while other BVS devotees are being killed in a rather unearthly manner: hit by some kind of bright light that leaves them shock-white from head to toe. John Steed (Patrick Macnee) and Mrs. Emma Peel (Diana Rigg) investigate and find, naturally, a larger conspiracy than meets the eye. The enticing mystery (written by Philip Levene) is aided by a nifty sound effect (a high-pitched whine that grows stronger just before the burst of light), and Steed's infiltration of the eccentric BVS group is highly entertaining. The second episode on the DVD is another Levene script, "The Fear Merchants," in which businessmen are being reduced to babbling psychiatric patients after being subjected to their worst fears: spiders, birds, fast cars, etc. Steed has to do some fancy footwork to avoid being buried by a bulldozer, and Mrs. Peel--who apparently has no phobias--is nearly subjected to nasty surgical tortures. The satirical element, in which captains of industry are made demented by anxieties, is great fun. The final episode on this volume, "Escape in Time," finds the intrepid Steed and Mrs. Peel hot on the trail of villains who are offering criminals the perfect escape from modern law: a one-way trip to the past, where they can lose themselves in history. Levene's smart script and Avengers designer Wilfred Shingleton make the time-transport scenes convincing in a very economical way--travelers go to sleep in a room at an opulent, old country house and awaken in that same room furnished in the style of the Georgian or Elizabethan ages, etc. When Mrs. Peel takes a trip back to what she believes is going to be 1790, and is confronted by a masked executioner from an older era, it's yikes time. --Tom Keogh

Weird Merchants of Fear and Others Oh Dear
If you fondly remember that great British import that we watched on TV way back in the 60s then you no doubt know about the content of what you are getting. You are more likely concerned about the quality of the product. Like John might say to Emma, "You scratch my back and I'll scratch your back. Just watch the hat please." John and Emma are back and are here to stay. Being on DVD, the aesthetics about the actual episodes are not in question here. More appropriately one may ask how they look. They look good, very good, excellent in fact. Still can't get that great theme out of my head.

You may find this offer a Peeling
You can look up the individual reviews. This collection will either bring back old memories or create some new old memories. However you will have friends and relatives that will want to remember Mother (Patrick Newell.) A single case makes the movies easier to keep track of and look better on your video storage wall. Being DVDs this is a one-time investment. Buying them individually can add up in shipping and handling. So as Emma says "Always keep your bowler on in time of stress, and watch out for diabolical masterminds." And buy the collection. Also available is Avengers '67 Set 1 Vol 02 (1966).

One of the best seasons for Avenger's Maniac
It's a pleasure to discover again these episodes

The Day After Trinity
Released in DVD by Image Entertainment (14 May, 2002)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Director: Jon Else
Average review score:

A truly excellent film
As a person who enjoys the history of the atomic bomb and the cold war, I thoroughly enjoy this film. It is a brilliant and profound film that out lines the people and events that helped to set the stage for the cold war and the nuclear arms race. It shows the devastating effects of the atomic bomb on not only Japan, but the world. What this film lacks in visual glamor and effects, it makes up for in the powerful and informative stories of the people who actually built the bomb. It packs more emotional punch and significance than more glamorous films about the bomb, or nuclear history in general. It is a must have for any aficionado of cold war/nuclear history.

A major contribution toward understanding the atomic bomb
The Day After Trinity covers both the day after, but more importantly the days before Trinity experienced by the scientists who built the atom bomb. The story of the bomb is usually told from its public debut, Trinity, though the story begins long before. Here it is told very well, through fascinating interviews with the men and women who lived in the strangely utopian Los Alamos.

Day After Trinity connects the humanity of the project with the horror of the result. The destruction at Hiroshima and Nagasaki make it hard to imagine the sort of people capable of creating such mass destruction. Perhaps for that reason, the creators are sometimes written off as mad scientists, or lumped in under Oppenhiemer's personality. But the people on the screen are brilliant, insightful, agonized, and funny. It contributes a great deal toward our understanding of the bomb, without making it any easier.

Aside from the overall content, there is priceless footage of Robert Serber, Stanislav Ulam, Dorothy McKibbon and many others.

This is a film, not a book.
The Day After Trinity is the seminal, brilliant film (1980) by Californian writer, producer, director and cameraman, Jon Else. The subject of The Day After Trinity is Robert Oppenheimer. END

Avengers '67 : Set 4, Vol. 7
Released in DVD by A & E Entertainment (27 April, 1999)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Directors: Ray Austin, Peter Graham Scott, Roger Jenkins, John Krish, Robert Day, Jonathan Alwyn, Don Sharp, Don Chaffey, Bill Bain, and Robert Fuest
The glory years of The Avengers, the stylish British television series starring Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg as intelligence operatives, are in full bloom in this three-episode volume. First up is "The £50,000 Breakfast," a typically quirky mystery that begins with a Zurich-bound ventriloquist crashing his car and ending up in a hospital--only to be discovered carrying a stash of diamonds in his stomach. The strange circumstance leads John Steed (Macnee) and Mrs. Emma Peel (Rigg) into an investigation of a wealthy financier who may be considering taking his fortune out of England. But that's only the beginning: soon Steed and Mrs. Peel are up to their knees in murder plots and borzoi dogs, all ending in a gift of a Dalmatian-spotted tie. "Dead Man's Treasure" is probably best remembered for a harrowing scene in which poor Mrs. Peel is forced to "drive" a racing car simulator that gives powerful electric shocks when she veers off a virtual road. The simulator is one of the kookier gimmicks in a story about a fellow agent who plants a dispatch box in a car enthusiast's mansion, then arranges for Steed and Mrs. Peel to participate in a treasure hunt for the missing item. Saboteurs abound, but the episode's highlight is the hunt, which finds contestants and their autos subjected to spikes in the road, sugar in their petrol tanks, and misarranged road signs. The action is crisp, the humor cheeky, and our heroic duo sexy and sharp. The final episode begins with one of the most enjoyable stories from the series. "You Have Just Been Murdered" is a clever mystery in which wealthy men are being mock-assassinated by stalkers who shoot, stab, and otherwise "murder" them with toy weapons. The reason is simple: blackmail. If the hidden, insidious mastermind behind this plot can get that close to his victims, he can certainly put them in the grave for good. Enter Steed and Mrs.Peel into the fray, who fail to get much cooperation from the terrified millionaires and have to find their way to the villain's lair on their own. The show ends delightfully with one of the series' best tags: Steed counting his fortune in halfpennies and finding he's just short of a certain goal.... --Tom Keogh

Bring Back John Steed and Emma Peel
One of the best on DVD. 'The Avengers" was a popular 1960's British fantasy-adventure series that focused on the exploits of a male-female duo in the service of the British government. The series underwent several changes of its female lead but its one constant male lead was John Steed always portrayed by the debonair Patrick Macnee (Originally the John Steed had two male partners but that format eventually changed). Kathy portrayed by Honor Blackman became Steed's first female partner. However, when Honor Blackman departed the series and Diana Rigg entered as Mrs. Emma Peel, the show became an international sensation. Rigg brought sophistication, wit, charm and beauty, which hid her lethal and highly visual judo and karate abilities. Macnee and Rigg complemented each other beautifully with their carefree witty and charming exchange of dialogue. The show distinguished itself with bizarre and futuristic villains and fantastic plots. Popular at the height of the James Bond craze, the show was able to distinguish itself with its simply over-the-top visual style. Laurie Johnson's catchy and sophisticated main title theme matched the visuals of the show and still conjures up an image of the series when listened to today. When Diana Rigg left the series, Linda Thorson entered as John Steed's new partner Tara King. The series soon went off the air in the United States. It was a shame because the episodes with Tara King were quite good. The King episodes seemed to be a little more down to earth and contained some very good writing and intricate plotting. In any event series definitely left its mark amongst the finest. These DVD copies are gorgeous.

3 of the Best Avengers
Set 4, Volume 7 contains what I consider the best episodes of the series. Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg are both espionage veterans via "The Avengers" British TV series as well as appearing latter in the "James Bond" series of films. Mrs. Peel and John Steed do make a handsome couple monogynously speaking.

"The £50,000 Breakfast," brings to mind Ian Fleming's "Goldfinger" and that villain's attempt to smuggle gold from country to country. By the way, that's a nice tie John.

"Dead Man's Treasure" is an interesting and memorable episode. Years ahead of its time, Mrs. Peel is compelled (that's putting it nicely) to operate a racing car at the controls of a simulator. If she doesn't keep the car on the road she is subject to electrical shock. This was a similar device used years latter in "Never Say Never Again" as James Bond and Largo "suffer the pains of their armies" on a virtual hologram game for global conquest. I do hope your navigator has a good map. Good hunting!

"You Have Just Been Murdered" is just so bizarre an episode proving that no one can ever be completely safe from would be assassins and death can come from even the most innocent looking childlike device.

Avengers '67: Set 4, Vol. 8
Released in DVD by A & E Entertainment (27 April, 1999)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Directors: Ray Austin, Peter Graham Scott, Roger Jenkins, John Krish, Robert Day, Jonathan Alwyn, Don Sharp, Don Chaffey, Bill Bain, and Robert Fuest
This special, four-episode volume unhappily brings the Mrs. Peel chapter of The Avengers to a close. "The Positive-Negative Man" is a shocking tale about an electronically charged killer dispatching members of a scientific research team with one touch of his finger. Steed (Patrick Macnee) and Mrs. Emma Peel (Diana Rigg) get a dose of high voltage, and the story is deliciously tense at times (who doesn't remember being a kid and squealing when somebody threatened to poke you with a finger?), but the wacky plot keeps matters from getting too serious. Good surreal fun and delightfully sexy. "Murdersville" is a dark tale about a quiet English town in which nearly all the residents participate in killing for a fee. Mrs. Peel discovers this the hard way when an old friend inadvertently leads her into danger there--some of it quite medieval, as in a tense scene where Emma nearly drowns in a witch's ducking pool. Highlights include a phone ruse in which our beautiful heroine foils her captors by calling her "husband John" to reassure him, and a climactic fight that manages to make pie-throwing a deadly art. "Mission Highly Improbable" follows, a wild story about a miniaturization device being used by villains to shrink their enemies to pocket-size--at which point they can be tossed into the trash or washed down a drain. The action gets even more fun when Steed and Mrs. Peel, at different times, are themselves made tiny and have to make do in a world of giant--though ordinary--objects such as pens and telephones. Finally, there's "The Forget-Me-Knot," in which Mrs. Peel's replacement on the show and in partnership with Steed is introduced: Tara King (Linda Thorson). The script concerns a traitor within the intelligence organization and his henchmen, who are using a memory-killing drug on their victims. But the strongest moment anyone watching this show will remember is a coda in which Steed and Emma say goodbye. Crushing! --Tom Keogh

SHOCKING POSITIVELY SHOCKING
Shocking! Positively shocking! No, I am not referring to the comment that Sean Connery made after he electrocuted an undesirable in his bathtub at the beginning of "Goldfinger." No, I am referring to "THE AVENGERS" episode, "The Positive-Negative Man" in this set. I am also referring to the episode, "The Forget-Me-Knot" where Mrs. Emma Peel portrayed by the exquisite Diana Rigg departs from the series and is replaced by Tara King in the person of the lovely Linda Thorson. Shocking! That episode has something to do about introducing memory loss on some unsuspecting chap or something. I seem to have forgotten. Now where was I? Oh yes, poor Patrick Macnee! I don't think that debonair John Steed will ever recover from all these different female partners or should I say work associates! I mean going up and down stairs, forgetting one's umbrella and all that! Really! Good show all around!

Enter Tara King Exit Emma Peel
Set 4, Volume 8 contains 4 episodes of the series. "Mission Highly Improbable" is highly inferior to the other 3. Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg are both espionage veterans via this British TV series as well as appearing subsequently in "A View To A Kill" and "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" respectively. As we see Mrs. Peel make her exit, enter Tara King played by the highly overlooked Linda Thorson in "The Forget-Me-Knot". Electrifying "The Positive-Negative Man" is reminiscent of an animated "Batman" episode. Zap! "Murdersville" is very good and offbeat and leaves the viewer curiously paranoiac. Good luck, Mrs. Peel! I hope see more of Tara soon.

Ceres, Celestial Legend - Requiem (Vol. 7)
Released in DVD by Ventura Distribution (26 February, 2002)
MPAA Rating:
Director: Hajime Kamegaki
Average review score:

an absolutely MUST HAVE series, the best dvd yet!!
The first episode in this dvd is extremely sad and the second is also extremely hard to watch, as you anticipate what is going to happen, but it's a must have for me, as I've totally fallen for this series and all the plot twists and character changes are very fascinating. It gets more interesting, and we learn some new stuff about Ceres' past. I can't wait for the last volume to come out! Being a veteran of Anime, I can assure you, you won't want to miss out on this outstanding, breathtaking, and heart-wrenching series. Enjoy!!! =)

Best DVD in the series
Disc 7 is undoubtedly the best, and the gloomiest, DVD in the series, along with the final disc 8. Without ruining the heart-wrenching plot twist for you, the viewer will be witness to one of the saddest single episodes in any and all anime. A very much ignored character up until this DVD, that character's death will resound the ultimate gloom throughout the series. Make no mistake about it - you will shed some tears, if not through your eyes, then at least pouring of your heart. Touya also ends up seeing stars, but his death won't matter much after the first death in the DVD.

In any case, Ceres has and will develop itself to be one of the best drama anime ever. Sure it tends to go melodramatic at times, but the overall plot and character development package is one of the best, if not the best, in the genre among anime. If you've enjoyed the first 6 DVDs, then you'll absolutely love this and the final DVDs.

Crest of the Stars - Wayward Soldiers (Vol. 3)
Released in DVD by Pioneer Video (02 October, 2001)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Director: Yasuchika Nagaoka
Jinto and Lafiel escape from the treacherous Baron Febdash and crash on the planet Sufugnoff, which is controlled by United Mankind. After functioning as the junior member of the partnership for eight episodes, Jinto begins to assume a more active role, steering a disguised Lafiel through the crowded human metropolis of Lune Biga City. Meanwhile, the prospect of war between the Abh Empire and United Mankind increases, as negotiations collapse and the rival fleets square off. Despite the often flashy CG special effects, the story never generates much excitement. The filmmakers seem to have devoted too much attention to re-creating details from Hiroyuki Morioka's science fiction novel and too little to pacing and character development. After the first few episodes, the subtitles in Abh runes cease being a novelty and become an annoyance. Rated 13 Up: Minor profanity and violence, largely limited to spaceship versus spaceship. --Charles Solomon
Average review score:

Now the plot begins to speed up
The story begins to move faster once Lafiel and Jinto (mostly Lafiel) finish dealing with the Baron of Febdash. War becomes a much greater focus and we see as yet even more of the differences in thinking between the Abh and human races, as presented by the different ways Lafiel and Jinto approach things.

This disc contains three episodes. Episode 8 wraps up the Febdash storyline, while episode 9 and 10 deal with the pair ending up on a enemy occupied planet. As if the physical aspects of being on a planet weren't enough of a challenge to the space-born and bred Lafiel, having to assimilate and hide in human culture presents problems that she cannot even begin to anticipate.

This is where Jinto finally gets his time in the sun as he is now the one in familiar surroundings and no longer paralyzed by uncertainty. The story further develops the relationship between the two.

One thing I like about this story is the issues and situations that the story attempts to deal with. As much as possible, they have tried to make characters and people react in a realistic way. There are parallels between the surrender of Jinto's home planet to the Abh with Japan's surrender to the allies, the occupation of Sufugnoff with World War II occupation of cities by various forces. The world is rich, believable and all too compelling. I am eagerly awaiting the fourth disc in this series.

One cliff hanger over and another one has begun.
The way the US release of Crest of the Stars goes always makes the last episode of each volume the start of a new arc. Lamirh and Ghint's stay at the Barony of Febdaush is concluded and the focus is shifting towards the brewing war against the Abh Humanoid Reich and the 4 Nation Alliance. The empire has sent two of its best fleets, commanded by the wild Spaurh and noble Traif to defend the Kingdom of Sphagnouf. This volume ends before the conflict at Sphagnouf is resolved, continuing the trend to "break arcs" so to speak. The battle scenes in the volume are all very well directed and the plot's pace starts to accelerate. Once again, I recommend this series to all space opera maniacs and sci-fi fans.

Secret Agent AKA Danger Man, Set 5
Released in DVD by A & E Home Video (24 September, 2002)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Directors: Peter Yates, Patrick McGoohan, Pat Jackson, Robert Day, Peter Maxwell, Charles Crichton, Michael Truman, Jeremy Summers, Stuart Burge, and Quentin Lawrence
Average review score:

"Six feet two and a half inches at your service, Madam..."
Patrick McGoohan is back as John Drake, the stylish no-nonsense good guy. Sets 4 and 5 of this clever spy show contain some of the best Danger Man episodes of all. Drake himself is a shade more cynical than in the earlier sets, and he is more reluctant than ever to blindly obey his upper-class superiors. Sometimes he seems tired of his job which forces him to live without wife and family and one can feel he is on the brink of resigning. As he is shown to be a chivalrous man, he is genuinely upset when his missions force him to inflict emotional distress on a lady.

The quotation above is from the delightful comedy "Have A Glass Of Wine" from set 3, but there are few as lighthearted episodes in sets 4 and 5. Most of the stories here are serious dramas, with lots of memorable scenes and sometimes tragic endings.

In "To Our Best Friend" Drake has to investigate one of his oldest friends who is suspected of being a double agent. Drake has to find the real traitor and at the same time save his friend from being executed by his own department.
In "The Man On The Beach" Drake's own loyalty is being questioned. The arrogance and cynicism he displays in this episode do not help him in that difficult situation. The episode has two spectacular and brutal fight sequences and memorable scenes with Patrick McGoohan and three leading ladies. Watch out for Drake's powerful scenes with Lady Kilrush and the dramatic ending.
The atmosphere of "The Man Who Wouldn't Talk" is particularly oppressive. Much of the story is set in a hotel room in Sofia - with the Bulgarian secret police closing in on Drake and a colleague of his who has to be rescued from imprisonment and torture.
In "Sting In The Tail" Derren Nesbitt almost steals the acting honours as psychopathic assassin Nourredine. In a chilling, film-noir like scene, two of Nourredine's thugs prepare to beat Drake up with the murderer cynically commenting on the procedure and a record playing Chopin's Nocturnes in the background.
"Someone Is Liable To Get Hurt" shows Drake in a very "Number-Sixish" mood. Part of the episode is set in a spacious villa where Drake is being held captive by a beautiful femme fatale. The situation makes him furious and we can watch him pacing up and down like a caged panther, constantly snapping his fingers and barely able to contain his rage. Patrick McGoohan is always great in scenes like these.

One of my all-time favourite episodes is "Are You Going To Be More Permanent?" which is a companion piece to "You Are Not In Any Trouble, Aren't You?" In both stories Drake obviously breaks his no-romance rule and both have the lovely Susan Hampshire as leading lady. She and Mr. McGoohan have several terrific scenes together and there are moments of intense sensuality between them. In the final scenes, which include some of the finest acting moments in the whole series, Drake's loneliness and disappointment are almost tangible.

"Danger Man" is a unique show. It has clever plots, beautiful filming, haunting music and a charismatic leading man. What further adds to its attraction is the way it captures the political climate of the Sixties which was so different from ours today. Britain still had parts of her empire, some of the episodes show the problems of newly independent countries and the British people left behind in their former colonies and in the Middle Eastern episodes the spirit of the Great Game of the 19th century can still be felt. This spirit of adventure makes the show still highly enjoyable and interesting to watch.

Danger Man Is a REAL Man
I am struck watching these shows at how different they are from James Bond. I am a Bond fan, but DANGER MAN almost makes Bond movies (especially the recent ones) look silly. In one episode contained in set 5, Drake passes out from blood loss. In another episode he is trying to escape detention and is out on the roof attempting to get a better grip on a rain gutter when it gives way and he falls and breaks his ankle. Drake then spends the balance of the episode forced to use a cane. Can you imagine Bond ever breaking his ankle like that or, for that matter, even breaking a sweat? McGoohan turned down offers to play Bond (twice) and let's all be thankful he did. Danger Man, John Drake, is a real man. And what a great series this is. Let's just hope A&E releases the rest of the episodes (about 8 or 9 more I think). Danger Man Tip: One thing I like to do is have a good supply of beverages on hand (I like rum and Coke) when watching DANGER MAN because people offer Drake an average of 5 drinks per episode, and it makes me pretty darn thirsty!

Two-Way Stretch
Released in DVD by Anchor Bay Entertain (21 January, 2003)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Director: Robert Day
Starring: Peter Sellers
A great British crime comedy always worth watching again, Two Way Stretch is about imprisoned crooks who hatch a scheme to pull off a heist with a perfect alibi by breaking out, doing the job, and then breaking back in to serve out their sentences. Peter Sellers, usually an eccentric support in these things, takes a rare lead as cocky mastermind Dodger Lane, confident enough to share the screen with performers who would be doing serious time if scene-stealing were an actual offense. The chief delight of the film is Lionel Jeffries's bristling, infuriated, hilariously humiliated warder Sidney Crout, forever fuming as Dodger gets away with some new scheme. Also in on the scam: Wilfrid Hyde-White as a bogus clergyman, David Lodge as the dimwitted muscleman, and Bernard Cribbins in the nice young man part. The British cinema has been turning out an unheralded series of wonderful caper comedies for decades, from The Lavender Hill Mob through A Fish Called Wanda to The Parole Officer; this effort--along with the follow-up, The Wrong Arm of the Law--ranks among the best. --Kim Newman

A few more touches
Your reviewers Kim and Peter did an excellent job and I heartily agree with them.
Do you remember how increasingly noisy the Army guarding the valuables were? Culminating in the major in his armored car yelling at midnight outside the pub and having a chamber pot unceremoniously dumped upon him.
We saw (a much older and heavier) Lionel Jefferies (a bishop) at a London theater. After, on the street, program still in hand, we were discussing our evening plans when he came by in street clothes and said he hoped we enjoyed the show. We persueded him to say "Shut up when I'm talkin' " (from 2-way Stretch) We will never forget it.

Top Class Comedy Caper.
I will start by saying that Kim Newman's summary of this classic English comedy is excellent, and I completely agree with the comments. While Sellers is the star, this is clearly an ensemble piece, and the other actors are all terrific. Nobody really steals a film from Sellers, but Lionel Jeffries comes close--his turn as the "nasty" prison guard, "Sour" Crout, is an absolute gem. As Kim Newman mentions, David Lodge, Bernard Cribbins and Wilfrid Hyde-White are fine in support as "the gang".

Others deserve credit too--Maurice Denham as the most benign prison warden in history, preoccupied with his garden and prize--winning ( he hopes ) marrow--Liz Fraser as Dodger's long-suffering, blond-bombshell girlfriend--Irene Handl as Bernard Cribbins' larcenous "Mum", castigating her son for not breaking out of jail and preserving her criminal family's "honour"--George Woodbridge as the kindest, most naive prison guard in the history of cinema.

The script is marvellous--with even "bit-players" getting hilarious lines. During "visiting day", one of the inmates asks for an explanation about his wife's new baby when he has been locked up for three years--her reply is priceless. No--I won't tell you--buy the movie !

Anchor Bay as usual gives us a very nice picture, and I hope that "The Wrong Arm of the Law" is next on their list !

One minor criticism--the picture on the cover of the DVD has nothing to do with this movie at all--I'm not sure what happened here.

In summary, a classic British comedy from the "golden age", not to be missed.

Can You Keep It Up for a Week?
Released in DVD by Image Entertainment (08 October, 2002)
MPAA Rating: R (Restricted)
Director: Jim Atkinson
Average review score:

Softcore Pornography at Its Best...English Style!
I have never forgotten having insomnia one night in the middle 1980's, when I saw "Can You Keep It Up for a Week?" on a cable channel. All these years I have frequently thought about the film. When I recently saw that it was now on DVD, I had to get it.

The movie is both funny and arrousing. The gist of the story is this: A bumbling young English male can not manage to keep a job for more than a couple of days. In fact, according to his girlfriend, his only expertise is in bed. So she holds off on accepting his offer of marriage until, and if, he can keep a job for an entire week.

Of course, the title of the film has a double meaning, and throughout the film, just about everything you see or hear has a sexual tone to it. I am reminded of the 1970's television show Three's Company, in which every episode was based on misunderstanding and sexually suggestive situations.

Speaking of which, at every temporary job our main character in the movie gets, he quickly finds himself in a sexual situations. As the instructions from the temporary agency are that he is to always give the customer what the customer wants, our character does his best to follow through, no matter how compromising the predicament.

The result is lots of female nudity, a nice lesbian scene, and some delightful acts of swinging sex.

Though this is not hardcore stuff, the movie is playful, and if you liked Benny Hill's material, it is likely to be just your cup of tea!
