Mr Love (1985)
Director: Roy Battersby
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Set in crumbling Southport-on-Sea, where one Donald Lovelace (Jackson), a mild-mannered, fiftyish landscape gardener sows his wild oats among the town's lonely womenfolk in a last-ditch quest for romance and nooky. Both of which he reaps with astounding ease from a range of eccentric Lancastrian matrons, though poor Donald Juan ends up getting dumped on by all the ladies in his life from Queen Victoria downwards. An unashamedly old-fashioned little film with a dash of nostalgia and a touch of Ealing comic whimsy.Author: SJo
