Synopsis

BLUE MOVIE BRITAIN traces the rise and fall of the British sex movie boom
from the 50s to 70s from the early "nudie" films to saucy sex comedies and
Carry On inspired sex flicks. It's a tale of wife swapping, dirty plumbers,
randy taxi drivers, naughty housewives, schools for sex, prostitutes and
tons of "ooh err missus!"
It was one of the most prolific, financially successful periods in the
history of the British Film Industry. An era of low-budget independent
production which produced some memorable slices of celluloid, unmistakably
British in content and saucy in title.
When America had Deep Throat playing to packed theatres, England had
Adventures Of A Taxi Driver also playing to large crowds. The difference
between the two? Let's call it a matter of inches.
I think the answer is that the movies could be expensive to clear
worldwide...currently there's quite a lot of fair dealing.
Director: Jacques Peretti
