Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Unappealing spinoff from the Private Eye comic strip, chronicling the adventures, with and without his Aunt Edna, of a loud-mouthed, sex-crazed innocent from Oz newly arrived in Earl's Court. The odd amusing incident, but mostly spoiled by sheer repetitiveness and the unmodulated top-of-the voice vulgarity sought at all costs.Author: VG
