Stanley Long: Adventures Of A... trilogy R2 3 elokuvaa!

R2-originaali, ei suomitekstejä.  Hieno kokoelma jossa kolme kulttiklassikkoa! Jokainen omalla levyllään, mukana myös kirjanen. 

Three cult British sex comedies directed by Stanley Long. In 'Adventures of a Plumbers Mate' (1978), Sid South (Christopher Neil) gets to meet lots of lusty young ladies through his work, but looks to have landed himself in really hot water when he ends up with a heavy gambling debt. In 'Adventures of a Private Eye' (1977), while his boss is away, assistant private eye Bob West (Neil) helps a model who is being blackmailed with some compromising photographs. He discovers a dead body in a stately home, before becoming involved with a kinky housewife and ending up at a sexy cabaret club. Finally, in 'Adventures of a Taxi Driver' (1976), young cabbie Joe (Barry Evans) has no trouble picking up young girls, who are more than willing to give him a fun ride in turn for a ride. Unfortunately, Joe's back-seat shenanigans look set to land him in a whole lot of trouble when his cab is hijacked by a gang of jewel thieves.

Made whilst the superior Robin Askwith Confessions series were already in full flow these 3 films are another wonderful reminder of the risqué days of saucy 1970's cinema.
Unlike the 4 Confessions movies which kept the same lead characters throughout there are 2 main leads here. In the first "Taxi Driver" the late Barry Evans stars as the likeable cheeky cabby Joe North, Evans later starred in TV's Mind your language along with one of his co-stars here Anna Bergman. The last 2 starred Christopher Neil as the more rakish Bob West a pretty ineffective private eye and then as the disastrous plumber Sid South. The plots entail our "heroes" getting involved with the criminal fraternity and trying to disentangle themselves meeting a series of distressed damsels along the way.
There's a host of 1970's comedy icons here including Ian Lavender, Stephen Lewis, Willy Rushton, Arthur Mullard, Henry McGee, Harry H. Corbett and Irene Handl. Also Judy Geeson, Liz Fraser, and Adrienne Posta especially in a great "Cabaret" style outfit and the usual line up of 70's regular starlets including Angela Scoular, Lindy Benson, Prudence Drage, and Suzy Mandel; even early performances from Robert Lindsay and Elaine Paige and Jon Pertwee in a role that would make Sarah-Jane Smith blush.
By themselves the films would just about make 4 stars, they are nostalgic treats but what makes it so much more is the attention that has gone into the design of this package itself. It includes mini posters of each of the films on the box which are also included as a postcard for each of the movies as well as an informative 16 page behind the scenes booklet [NOTE: booklet and postcard no longer provided with product]. Director Stanley Long also narrates a commentary for each of the movies, it's just a shame that, for whatever reasons, none of the stars who are still around were able to assist.
That minor grumble aside it's well done to Icon for this impressive effort.
