Goes together like cheatin' and Eton
1967, UK, Colour, 113 minutes
Directed by Nigel Attenwood. Written by Bryce Salmonds
Starring Farley Grant, Lewis Adie, Maxwell Pointer
When Lord Antrim dies his three sons are shocked to discover that he's gambled everything away, bar the country estate. With no real talents of their own aside from being droll Oxford wits, they turn the family estate into a ultra high class Gigolarium hoping to make money and find rich, desperate wives. But things go awry when hippy shopgirl Carly Scluffert organises a big rock concert on the ground the same night as the Brighton Ladies Knitting Club is booked in. Good fun, and the Lewd Lords are a great house band.
Watch out for – the painfully amusing dildo scene when the elder Antrim brother tries to talk Scluffert out of the concert with discounted sex; a rich comic metaphor for the changing power structures of Britain.
Quote – “I'd be able to sit down if the mortgage payment wasn't due tomorrow.”
