I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The end of the line for Columbia's run of sexploitation films from the pen of Christopher Wood.The Confession's films had run out of steam with 'Holiday camp' (The fifth film 'Plumbers Mate' didn't get off the ground...so Stanley Long's Adventures of series took the title and were flushed with success (Sorry)).Greg Smith insisted that the Confession's Prefix not be used just in case of a flop.Debbie Ash is the title character and if we're honest is cute but bland and doesn't flash the flesh as you may expect.The guest cast are as good as you'd expect - most of them had appeared in the Confessions series - with Arthur Askey and Beryl Reid added.Filmed in soft focus it feels like a flake ad but they have better scripts!. Christopher Wood was in the middle of his two Bond films so maybe this was an afterthought.Not yet on DVD but easy enough to find.

It seems like many of the specialty channels owned by CHUM here in Canada enjoy airing these British sex comedies from the 1968-1982 era. I have to admit that I've always found them to be middling at best but they are much better than anything produced by the Americans. I'd rather see French sex comedies but the British output isn't too bad and the 70's era ones have always offered up an honest slice of life in England.Rosie Dixon is about a teenager who has come to work at Adelaide Hospital as a nurse. Unfortunately for her, the hospital she's working at has some absolute rakes in it. The whole movie sees her being sexually assaulted (in humorous ways, mind you) and sexually harassed by patients and the young doctors. However, she also finds love.Pretty much everything about General Hospital and medical dramas are spoofed here. Yes, there is the requisite T&A. Of course, there is no way we could see a hospital be allowed to run today with rampant sexual harassment by the staff but here they seem to mask it with the fact that everybody here is open to some loving.Also, unlike a lot of films that have an exclusive British cast, this film has a few Scots and Irish characters in the mix. The acting is actually good here; as they are actually trying. It's a lot better than 2006's hardcore pornstars attempts at method acting.A pretty good effort; I don't think this is on DVD but I'm sure in the British Commonwealth Nations it can be seen occasionally.

As with the Confessions films, this is another of those movies from the dark days of British cinema that is perhaps best forgotten.Chances are you're only willing to watch because of the nudity. Well there's not much of that but there are a host of well known faces, many of whom have long since died. Films such as this obviously kept the wolf from the door but it's a sad fact that this was Arthur Askey's last film.To see him wheeling around as a lecherous, demented old man is heartbreaking.The main reasons to watch are to see a young Leslie Ash as the sister of the eponymous heroine and Patricia Hodge who no doubt cringes every time she sees the movie.The script must have taken all of 10 minutes to write, with not a trace of wit or originality to be seen or heard anywhere. Dixon's weedy boyfriend is a comic foil with one track mind who falls into a pond to raise an, er, titter.Yes, it really is that sophisticated.An 'erotic comedy' unique in the fact that it is neither erotic, nor funny. Just be thankful it didn't spawn a host of sequels.

British bawdy Doctors 'n' Nurses film in standard theme plot(?) introduced in the "Carry On" series of comedies. Updated for mid-1970s with introduction of full nudity. Very risque for its day, no doubt. Also very distinctive cheesy theme tune. Probably persuaded as many British adolescent males to become interested in studying for medical profession as more conventional methods.
