Free Full Release No Sex Please We're British 1973 Film

Hey there, film buffs! Grab a cuppa, let's chat about this little gem from '73, "No Sex Please, We're British". Now, I know what you're thinking, "British? Sex? Isn't that an oxymoron?" Well, hold onto your teacups, because this film is a hoot!

So, What's the Deal?

Picture this: it's 1973, the Swinging Sixties are over, but the Brits are still trying to keep a stiff upper lip. Enter Brian Rix, a man who could make a eulogy sound like a stand-up routine. He's the star and producer of this farce, a play turned film, about a stuffy bank manager and his wife trying to navigate a pornographic painting.

Yes, you read that right. A pornographic painting. In a bank. In 1973. The mind boggles, doesn't it?

But Why, Though?

Well, the play was a massive hit in the West End, running for over a decade. It was like the British equivalent of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?", but with more innuendo and less existential angst. Rix, bless him, thought, "Why not bottle that lightning and put it on the big screen?"

And so, he did. And we're all the better for it. I mean, where else are you going to see a bank manager trying to hide a painting of a naked lady from his prim and proper wife?

Now, Let's Talk Laughs

This film is a comedy of errors, a farce in the truest sense. It's like a game of whack-a-mole, but with innuendo instead of moles. Every time the painting seems safe, bam! It's back, causing chaos. It's like watching a real-life game of 'Keepy Uppy', but with more nudity (well, sort of).

And the best part? The Brits' signature self-deprecating humor is on full display. It's like they're saying, "Yes, we're uptight, but we can laugh at ourselves. Sort of." It's delightful, really.

But is it Any Good?

Well, that depends on your sense of humor. If you like your comedy dry, your laughs subtle, and your innuendo British, then yes, it's a hoot. If you're expecting something more... well, American, then you might be left wanting.

But here's the thing: it's not trying to be anything it's not. It's a snapshot of a time, a place, a humor. And for that, it's worth a watch. Plus, it's a reminder that even in the staid old UK, people were still people, with all the foibles and funny bits that entails.

Plus, it's a free full release now. So, what have you got to lose? Except maybe an hour and a half. But hey, every cloud, right?
