Not Tonight Darling [DVD]

Product Information

The idea, she says, is to introduce novelty, “but together, rather than one partner springing it on the other. I spent a lot of the film wondering where I'd seen Ball before, then realised it was as the gym teacher in Carry on Cruising.

Unforgivably, even despite the lack of resources, the film lacks a proper conclusion, coming to a somewhat abrupt end almost as if the money had run out. The fact that Karen won't even attempt to discuss her feelings with him doesn't help the viewer sympathise with her plight, nor does the fact that she hardly seems to have much of a relationship with her six-year- old son either. Many sex and relationship therapists talk about the importance of “simmering” – gestures of light arousal without the expectation or possibility of sex. Undivided attention is a big part of intimacy,” says Moyle, who adds that it is important to have time apart, too.

He drags her off to watch Thunderclap Newman rehearse at a nearby venue, giving the film an unusual dose of historical cultural interest, and then takes her into what looks like a hotel room (but apparently isn't) and talks her into getting down to business whilst traffic noisily rumbles past outside. it's almost as if a great deal of time and effort and thought went in to making every scene as thrill-less and un-erotic as they could. Another undistinguished attempt to exploit the BBFC's slightly more liberal policy from about 1970, with a title suggesting the sort of naughty comedy that the British public were so fond of. Sadly, she's let down by the overall tepidness around her; I often wondered, given her popularity throughout the decade, she never reached the same cult status as Ingrid Pitt, Madeleine Smith or Caroline Munro when it was possiblly within her wherewithal; the moral here, maybe, is that favours can rebound.

Part of me hopes that this is the last British sex drama/ comedy I sit through, as they are dispiriting and depressing in many ways. The review really sums it up well - despite loads of exposed flesh and sexual scenes it as about as arousing as a Carry-On - especially with Vincent Ball and his supporting wig as the unlikely lothario. Whilst the picture does have some spots of dirt,Simply Media still give a good transfer,with the outdoor scenes being clear to hear and the girls being pretty. Thanks to the wonderful Talking Pictures TV channel we can now get to see such lost "gems" as Not Tonight Darling in all their beige seventies glory. She is ultimately seduced by the repellent Australian sales rep Alex (played by usually clean-cut Aussie, Vincent Ball) and blackmailed into attending swinging parties and starring in porn movies.Talking to a family friend about what titles UK DVD company Simply Media were putting out that they are interested in,I found out about a rarely mentioned British Sec Comedy that they had recently put out. For single people in particular, says Vowels, “this is a perfect time, in some ways, to be exploring your sexuality. You’re getting bombarded with all of this sex-driven content and you can’t do anything about it,” she says. However, despite trying to get away from that field in the last few years, I do still find that mycuriosityoccasionally gets the better of me.

He leaps out of bed angrily accusing her of being dirty and says: "I'm not coming back to bed until you promise never to try to do anything like that again! Back in the early 2000s I briefly encountered a chap in a message board who claimed to have been Luan Peters's agent for short spell in the Seventies. He thinks practical things – the children being back at school, their parents being vaccinated, life opening up a bit more – will help, “but I don’t expect our sex lives to come roaring back as soon as things are open.We see all of the worst bits – the bits that we are irritated by, or that we feel are inconsiderate. There's a fleeting glimpse of a young, scarcely recognisable Fiona Richmond, while Bill Shine who'd started his film career over forty years previously, is seen enjoying The Tiffany Sisters strip in a Soho dive. I had a real thing for her in the 70's and if any of you are 'Fawlty Towers ' fans , she was the Aussie in the yellow T shirt who Basil manhandles with oily hands . The club itself is a tinypanelledpreview cinema, and these girls dance andstrip in front of just five men like their clothes are on fire. Some people will think: ‘We should use the time,’ and a lot of them experience disappointment that they haven’t,” says Vowels.
