A British-American production, Sweet William is an R-rated movie about sexual relationships that focuses on the flings of an untamed Scotsman named William (Sam Waterston). William has had two marriages and many affairs, and he approaches more romantic adventures without feeling any guilt. His next target is a sensitive and naïve London woman, Ann (Jenny Agutter). Her boyfriend is away on business in the U.S., and the irresistible William woos her by acting lovably loony. Ann soon learns of William's reputation, even though he does his best to hide his past and his current fancies. She decides that some woman finally needs to take a stand against William's charms. Ann eventually makes him choose between continuing his philandering ways and settling down for true happiness. Despite its theme and rating, the film has no explicit sexual scenes. ~ Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide

This horror feature should entertain fans of the blood and guts but ultimately fails to live up to its title. Royal ancestors feel the wrath of the curse of the condemned witch Mad Dolly L.E. Mack, who spews forth her prophetic venom while she is burned at the stake. The victims suffer death by having their heads removed in various fashions, getting their limbs caught in animal traps, knife wounds, and other methods of popular medieval torture. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

British sexploitation expert Derek Ford takes the helm for this raunchy comedy that is sure to quicken the pulse of men who like women in uniform. When Dr. Robert "Sweeney" Todd arrives to fill his post at a new hospital, he is shocked to see the lengths that the nurses go to in caring for their patients. Of course Dr. Todd is no prude, and it isn't long before he's joining in on all the lusty, after-hours fun. In the course of his erotic exploits, Dr. Todd makes it his mission to fully satisfy his boss' daughter Olivia even if it means putting in a little overtime. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Michael Gough once more goes the horror-movie route in the British Satan's Slave. Gough plays the head of a coven of witches. He roams the countryside in search of new minions for the Dark Prince. A fiery climax caps this standard effort. Satan's Slave received but minimal theatrical play in the US, though it became a fixture of "Shock Theatre" TV manifests. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
When a motley crew of high society miscreants gather at the country estate of the eccentric General Futtock (Ronnie Barker), the interaction between the staff and the guests grows increasingly saucy in this farcical, sound-effects driven comedy. With music, sound effects, and incoherent mumbles taking the place of actual dialogue, this "silent" tale of libidinous competition between a randy general and his lecherous butler (Michael Hordern) will have movie-lovers howling with laughter. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
