A topless version of the Benny Hill show

My local Blockbuster did not have the film I wanted so I rented this film instead. As I watched this film I thought I was watching a topless version of the Benny Hill show. The Benny Hill show included recurring sketches where Benny played "a dirty old man from Britain" trying to seduce an attractive young ladies. I thought this film had the similiar theme of the Benny Hill sketches except the girls were often topless in this movie. Even though the film was "wild" for the late 60's it may be consider only a comedy farce by today standards. I consider this a good movie when a person wants to watch a no plot comedy with topless ladies. Only warning is that the quality of the movie may be sub standard since this was a low budget film, and the color, tint, and sharpness may have faded.

Amusing sixties sex comedy

I wasn't really sure what to expect going into this one; my experience of Peter Walker extends only to his horror movies, some of which are excellent (House of Whipcord) while others are terrible (Die Screaming Marianne). School for Sex is an early Walker film (actually, his first according to IMDb) and it's his attempt at a sex comedy. The film doesn't exactly have a great reputation among the few who have seen it, and that's not really surprising - but all the same, I actually rather liked this silly little film. Naturally, everything in it is rather tame these days, and compared to other films like this from the late sixties - not all that lurid for the time it was released in. The film was obviously intended to be more of a comedy than a sex film, and doesn't go much further than showing it's female cast topless. The plot focuses on a man convicted for fraud. He decides to start up his own 'school for sex' with the help of a local Duchess. There he teaches girls how to seduce men and get them to part with their cash...

The plot was clearly not the main thing on Peter Walker's mind. The film is only short, running about seventy five minutes and the story neither goes anywhere nor has any real point. Obviously the main aim of the film was to show a bit of skin and make his audience laugh, and Walker just about achieved both of those aims. The comedy isn't really very funny, but it's all very light-hearted and the film has a sort of British charm to it which is nice. I can certainly see why the film doesn't have a great deal of fans; aside from the reasons mentioned, this is never going to be a film that will appeal to everyone; porn fans are likely to be disappointed at the lack of sex and nudity, while non-porn fans probably wont enjoy it much either. The central idea certainly could have lead to a much better movie too; I have to admit that I enjoy movies about people being conned anyway, and showing young girls doing it to 'men who should know better' could have been much more fun. On the whole, this is not exactly Peter Walker's best work, but for what is I enjoyed it, although I wouldn't recommend anyone going to great lengths to track it down!

"The First Mrs.Wingate".

With having enjoyed writer/director Pete Walker's sadly forgotten British Sex Comedy Tiffany Jones,(which has been stopped from ever seeing the light of day again,thanks to lead actress Anouska Hempel buying the rights to the movie)I decided that it would be a good time to take a look at Walker's first ever Sex Comedy.

The plot:

Relived after being given a suspended sentence for fraud, (which he committed due to getting married to any piece of "arm candy" that walked past him) Giles Wingate decides to use the lessons that he has picked up from his divorce's to his own advantage.

Secretly talking to a barrister who was present at the trial,Wingate arranges a deal that will involve women on parole being sent to a "correctional school" based at his house,which will actually involve Wingate, (who along with the barrister will take a 33% cut from any of the women's future earnings)and his staff teaching the women to seduce old,wealthy men.Agreeing to the deal,Wingate is initially thrilled at the results from his new "school",until he begins to notice that the local townspeople are giving the school/house some unwanted extra attention.

View on the film:

Despite writer/director Pete Walker now being a bit Mr Grumpy about the movie,(with Walker calling the film "Terrible" in a recent interview)the quick-pace screenplay actually creates an interesting rough sketch of the themes that Walker would infamously pick up upon in his Horror work,with Walker showing all law enforcement,from the judges to the local police officer,to be deeply corrupt,self serving slime balls.

Backed by Walker's crisp directing,which is given a great realistic edge thanks to mostly being filmed on location,each of the cast give charmingly cheerful performance's.Whilst Walker's claims that he was cast completely by "mistake",Derek Aylward gives a very good performance as Giles Wingate,thanks to Aylward emphasising the charming side of the character,instead of the easier to reach slimy side,which along with the absolutely gorgeous actress's make this school one that is well worth attending.
