The Dirtiest Girl I Ever Met (1970) YIFY - Download Movie TORRENT

This is not what you expect from a Robin Askwith film. It's actually a charming, thought provoking little drama about a young naïve couple trying to make it in the big bad nasty city.This story is exactly the sort of story which was the staple of dozens of pre-code movies in the early thirties. A young couple leave their quiet rural existence to make a life for themselves in the metropolis - how difficult can it be? As any fan of pre-codes will know, the only career choices for a pretty young lady in the big city is posing for saucy photos and becoming a prostitute! In the thirties, she'd have been someone like Miriam Hopkins. Maybe Spencer Tracy may have been the young man but here it's Robin Askwith.For those of us used to seeing Robin Askwith in those dreadful "sex comedies", it takes a while to accept that this serious young actor is the same person. To confuse us further, he also used his own accent which isn't cockney! He's ok but not brilliant - it was probably a good career move for him to switch to those smutty comedies. The girl is the unknown Janet Lynn whose untrained, raw natural acting ability makes her fascinatingly complex character completely believable. The normally of her girl-next-door character really hooks you.Underground director Pete Walker infuses a distinctive style to his picture ensuring that you know one hundred percent that this could only have been made in the late sixties. For an independent British production it's also got higher production values than you'd expect. The sumptuous classical score for example, swelling and ebbing with emotion is more reminiscent of a big budget 1950s biblical epic. This is a big score!Just like in a thirties movie, as time progresses, it dawns on our young couple that they are not living at the bottom of the rainbow. Their new life is not what they wanted and the people they've become aren't really them. She becomes more trusting and subservient, he becomes more selfish and controlling. It's a simple but intelligent little morality tale.If you want a fabulous taste of the real (un)swinging sixties, you should give this a go. That sixties, just like the thirties was a dirty, unsavoury and cruel place but also bursting with blind optimism.

Carol's hot, movie's not

Carol is quite something when you see her in lingerie or nude. She leaves her boring existence to pursue her modelling career, taking off with childhood friend, Robin Askwith, mostly still filling the boots of his Timmy Lea character in the Confession films. Though the story is supposedly true in this film, one wouldn't really care. A lot of people will do anything to survive. Askwith and co need money in London. Food, like that delectable pastry in the window and accommodation costs money. Someone talent spots Askwith's better half, and soon she's doing some pretty weird photographic nude shoots, and offering sexual services, where may'be a bit of her likes it. She becomes hooked, finding it hard to turn offers down, where Askwith starts getting annoyed. Jealousy? He has a thing for her? She doesn't decline at first. Some tasty nudity, provide momentary erotic entertainment from our title lead, doing it with some 60+ men, some moments of it getting nasty, if demeaning to our lead, despite it being a comedy, that didn't have me laughing. This movie isn't anything special. Bits of it are truly pathetic, and I wonder if the words, "acting lessons", mean anything to Askwith.
