Not Tonight Darling [DVD]

Product Information

A lonely ‘Stay-at-Home’ Housewife is being watched every night through the bathroom window by a ‘Peeping Tom’, who is being put up to it by his friend. A rare starring role for the lovely Luan Peters, a regular face,and body,in British horror and sexploitation films of the early 70's. Right from the opening moments it was so poor as to be cringe-inducing, yet quickly became a strangely compulsive watch as I persevered with it thinking that it couldn't possibly get any worse, only to be proved wrong at each successive plot turn. The film is an illustration of the films that were bought out just to titillate male audiences and for film makers to see exactly what they could show .

We see a lot of him in the beginning, and we suspect that he is going to be a major character, but he then disappears, bumped from the screen by Alex. Incidental pleasures include the script being written by a man named Pillock, and a scene where the lovely Luan goes under the covers and attempts to give her husband a blow job. It caused massive anxiety, because any time I made any attempt to be more like a couple it would lead to me being rejected.Still, lead actress Luan Peters (TWINS OF EVIL) is a revelation: incredibly voluptuous and giving a sympathetic performance to boot. A lonely 'Stay-at-Home' Housewife is being watched every night through the bathroom window by a 'Peeping Tom', who is being put up to it by his friend.

I am sure that when people like Luan Peters were taking their clothes off in grubby, brown bedrooms, they had little idea that the films would still be playing to audiences some forty years later. Lots of sex, nudity and a leading lady chosen more for her relationship with a big-wig with responsibility for circuit booking of films than for any special acting skills.The band Thunderclap Newman, known for their hit "Something in the Air," makes a brief appearance at a club. A photograph of her infidelity is used to blackmail Karen into attending a sex party, hosted by Suzanne (Fiona Richmond, curiously using the name 'Amber Harrison' whilst keeping her clothes on for once). A movie is screened; after the title card "Willing Flesh" (held by the woman we saw at the party, topless), there is footage shot at the party.
