The
True Story of Eskimo
Nell
(1975)
Let's
head back to the 70s.
The True Story of Eskimo
Nell is an erotic comedy
made at the same time as
the British film Eskimo
Nell. It begins with
Deadeye Dick (Max
Gillies) who is obsessed
with watching Mexico
Pete (Serge Lazareff)
have sex because he
loves his orgasm face.
Dick shoots dead the
husband of the woman
(Elke Neidhart) Pete was
about to have sex with
as the husband was going
to do him in. Dick and
Pete become reluctant
buddies, but then have a
common goal when Dick
tells the story of
Eskimo Nell (Victoria
Anoux), a prostitute
with a reputation second
to none (called a
womper). But she is in
Alaska and it's a travel
from California. They
meet up with Pete's
friend Bogger (Grahame
Bond) and cause a bit of
trouble. Then they go
over their back stories,
have a farting
competition (Blazing
Saddles, anyone?), talk
lots more about Nell,
then finally get to
Alaska and the bar where
she works. But, Nell
isn't quite the woman
she is made out to be.
Boy,
does this film drag out
a razor thin idea. Most
of the jokes are rather
feeble, but Gillies does
alright with not much to
work with and is good
with the pratfalls.
Alright, the film does
deliver some excellent
nudity, including sex
bomb Abigail's first
full frontal nude scene
and the gorgeous Elli
Maclure and Victoria
Anoux (also nude in
Stone, a film I must get
around to capping soon).
So, there's that and not
a lot else to recommend.
At least that's
something.
