The Private Lesson (1975)
Director: Vittorio De Sisti
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Determined not to let personal feelings hamper her career, matronly music teacher Carroll Baker grits her teeth and submits to the unconventional demands of a teenage homosexual blackmailer. De Sisti opts for an over-familiar evocation of the '50s and a conventional loss-of-virginity sexploiter, hampered by the customary contrivances and caricatures of the genre.Author: JPy
