Confessions of a Window Cleaner is a fun, coming-of-age, sex-themed comedy that pleasantly surprised me

I recently watched Confessions of a Window Cleaner (1974) on Tubi. I recently watched Confessions of a Window Cleaner (1974) on Tubi. The storyline follows a young man who gets into the family window washer business. He's asked to push the sales of the business and finds his success can be lucrative in more than one way. He might even find true love in the process. ?Directed by Val Guest (The Boys in Blue), the film features Robin Askwith (Bless This House), Anthony Booth (Corruption), Sheila White (Oliver), Judy Matheson (Twins of Evil), and Linda Hayden (Taste the Blood of Dracula).This classic British comedy adopts a "tongue-and-cheek" approach, surpassing my expectations with its unique storyline, random circumstances and clever dialogue. This also has an attractive cast and humorous sex scenes, particularly a well-executed soap suds sequence. While the ending is a bit over the top, the overall experience remains worthwhile.In conclusion, Confessions of a Window Cleaner is a fun, coming-of-age, sex-themed comedy that pleasantly surprised me. I'd give this a 6/10 and recommend watching it once.

Seeing Things

This is the first of the Confessions films based on Timothy Lea's novels and starring Robin Askwith as Timmy. He becomes a window cleaner for his brother in law Sid (Anthony Booth). It seems every job involves some kind of sexual encounter. So, there is a lot of nudity in this film. That being said, it would have been better if it wasn't so infantile. The only character that is worth watching is Timmy's love interest, played by the very pretty Linda Hayden. Considering what came after it (there were even copycat films, as this one was very successful), this film is fairly tame. To me, its the weakest of the Confessions films.

Silly snapshot of its time

CONFESSIONS OF A WINDOW CLEANER has a lot to answer for. On release in 1974, it helped usher in a new wave of low budget British sex comedies, not least the three sequels that followed this. That's because it was inordinately successful, helping to destroy the CARRY ON films at the box office (only two more were made, each trying to copy this film's formula). Seen today, it's a rather twee, somewhat amusing, and completely dated little movie more embarrassing than it is funny. It's a simple, laboured exploration of British values of the '70s, bearing comparison to the likes of MAN ABOUT THE HOUSE and the TV series it most resembles, ON THE BUSES. The jokes are silly and full of the innuendo that made ARE YOU BEING SERVED? equally successful and the shooting style is low rent and down to earth. This was a film that working class folk could readily identify with.Speaking of identification, Robin Askwith makes for a perfect 'hero'. He's young, somewhat stupid, quick to laugh at himself and not especially good looking; watching him score with numerous beautiful women must have been like a fantasy come true for all the British lads watching and wishing they were in a similar situation. I wonder how many became window cleaners after seeing the fantasies played out here? And what a supporting cast! There's Anthony Booth, future father-in-law of British prime minister Tony Blair; there's Bill Maynard, later a lovable fixture on TV and radio. Linda Hayden (BLOOD ON SATAN'S CLAW) is ravishing as usual, and even the likes of Sam Kydd and John Le Mesurier pop up to lend the movie some much-needed gravitas.What I liked most is that this is far from a plot less string of sexual encounters. It has story, plain and simple, and the last third of the film goes off in a completely different direction as Askwith readies himself to be married. Okay, so there is a lot of sex and nudity in the film, and there are lots of attractive women attractively undressed, but this is sex of the saucy slap 'n' tickle variety, the quintessential British seaside postcard come to life. It's one step further than the CARRY ONs ever went, but it's never sleazy or sordid. It makes you laugh. CONFESSIONS OF A WINDOW CLEANER is far from classic, but it does paint a nice picture of the whys and wherefores of Britain in the mid-'70s and it has its own small place in the film industry's history.
