Description

The film is infused with an offbeat, unconventional humour, presenting a quirky storyline involving astrology, law, robbery and murder.

David Galaxy’s astrology job provides him with a healthy income and the freedom to do what he wants.Perhaps the mentioning of a rather prominent lady related to a cast member was to blame - who knows? The movie's one saving grace is a brief turn fom 70's sex bomb Mary Millington, playing one of Galaxy's numerous sexual 'conquests'. Stars: Mary Millington; Alan Lake; Glynn Edwards; Diana Dors; Bernie Winters; Anthony Booth; Kenny Lynch; Rosemary England; John Moulder-Brown; Alec Mango; Queenie Watts; Milton Reid; Sally Faulkner; Ballard Berkeley; Lindy Benson; and more. The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "With its barely identifiable semblance of plot, a level of comic invention exemplified by having the hero interrupt his love-making by breaking wind, and a dramatic context that amounts to little but the endless offering and pouring of drinks, this erotic 'thriller' proves squalidly unwatchable. Playboy David Galaxy has to prove himself against both the law and "the only woman in the world who's never had an orgasm".

The film was not part of the Confessions series of films from Columbia Pictures that began with Confessions of a Window Cleaner (1974), but it was hoped that it would benefit commercially from the similarity of title. Husband and wife acting team Alan Lake and Diana Dors sink to the lowest point of their respective careers in this tedious British sex comedy. The film was financed by businessman David Sullivan to promote the career of Millington, who was his girlfriend at the time. Featuring a supporting cast of classic British actors including Bernie Winters, Anthony Booth, Kenny Lynch and the legendary Diana Dors.

Meanwhile, Steve has set David up with Millie, a posh girl about town, and arranged an underground gambling syndicate. Bonus Features include Queen of the Blues (1979 62 Mins), Stills Gallery, Mary Millington Short Film and Booklet Notes.The long, drawn-out plot fails to hold the attention and Lake's performance, as sex-obsessed astrologer David Galaxy, is annoying and virtually unwatchable, (why any woman would fall for his hackneyed chat-up lines is anyone's guess). Spending much of his time gambling, drinking, and arranging dubious set-ups with his best friend Steve, he’s aghast to find a Chief Inspector from the Metropolitan Police at his penthouse flat door one afternoon, enquiring as to his whereabouts some five years previously.

The film was Sullivan's first box-office flop, being released at a period when soft porn theatrical films were losing their popularity in Britain. The movie provides a nostalgic look back at the late 70s era, capturing the fashion, dialogue, and society of the time. First released at the Eros cinema on Piccadilly Circus in June 1979, this saucy sex comedy follows in the footsteps of Come Play With Me and The Playbirds and features a supporting cast of classic British actors. The girls shed their clothes but I suppose this was more to get backsides on seats rather than driving the plot.Alan Lake is David Galaxy, the playboy astrologer who beds beautiful young women as easily as he reads fortunes. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Playboy David Galaxy is a suspect in a robbery case and needs an alibi, and the only credible witness to his innocence won't help.
