Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A relatively large budget and some respectable names in the cast list, but this is still limp softcore flummery sold on the half-remembered notoriety of its purported 18th century source. Raines disrobes with efficiency, but she's not really earthy enough as the simple country lass who proceeds via sundry London brothels to woman-of-pleasure status and unlikely true love. Lawyer Reed and madam Winters, meanwhile, seem as though they have their teeth gritted in the hope that it will all be over soon.Author: TJ
