Fanny Hill

This rendering of "Fanny Hill" opts to avoid some of the more dramatic turns of events and rather pursues a tongue-in-cheek, bawdy, romping approach.Adaptations of books almost always have to change the material in some way, and for a pleasantly ribald novel, this approach seems valid and befitting - you can look elsewhere for more faithful adaptations of the book. Lisa-Foster makes a charming Fanny and the smatterings of full-frontal nudity from her and other young beauties add the right texture and titillation to this story.Shelly Winters and other older actors who play supporting characters play their parts in a suitably flamboyant style. This is delightful, although the picture quality suffers.

Not enough gash......sloppy editing, no continuity......Watch for this film next year at the Midnight Movie for less than a dolar

THIS PRODUCTION OF 'FANNY HILL' APPEARED AS A BROADCAST MOVIE MANY YEARS AGO. IT WAS A "DELIGHTFUL ROMP", RATHER LOOSELY ADAPTED FROM THE ORIGINAL NOVEL, BUT HAD GOOD ACTING, COSTUMES, AND EXCELLENT MUSIC/SOUNDTRACK. THIS RELEASE ON DVD CHOPS OUT ARBITRARY PIECES OF THE ORIGINAL, MAKING IT MUCH LESS ENJOYABLE. EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T SEE THE ORIGINAL BROADCAST, THE CHOPS (AND RESULTING JERKINESS) ARE AUDIBLE AND VISIBLE. I PURCHASED IT NOT KNOWING THE CIRCUMSTANCES, SO THE PACKAGE CANNOT BE RETURNED (IT'S BEEN OPENED). BUT, IF ANOTHER COMPANY OFFERS A complete VERSION OF THE FILM, I WILL DEFINITELY BUY IT. AS A PRODUCTION, I THINK IT HAS MORE POTENTIAL THAN THE LATER VERSION DONE BY (I BELIEVE) THE BBC.

This is one of the best movies ever produce for it's time. The acting by Lisa Raines, Shelly Winters, Oliver Reed is very good and the characters portrayed are hot. A great theme and story.

Love my DVD

yes the movie came on time,but unfortunately it is an edited version which wasn't advertised before hand.i know there are other versions that are more edited.anyhow for the amount of money it cost i was hoping to get an unedited version-thanks for listening

I've seen this flick before....it was one of my favorite Skinemax flicks from my young teenage days. This one has been cut.

This movie, when I first saw it, was an engaging and enjoyable romp, with good acting, music, and script. Everybody in it was clearly having fun, and Lisa Raines (Foster) was charming and delightful, perfect for the role. I've been a fan of this film ever since.However, THIS transfer, despite the good picture quality and sound, wasn't worth getting. There are a number of pieces of the film missing, including a critical-to-the-story bit of narrative by Fanny near the end, which is on my VHS copy. Even if you haven't seen it before, you can tell the pieces are missing. There are abrupt "chops" in some sequences, or the music ends abruptly and the scene jumps.This picture deserved MUCH better treatment.

Der Film ist soweit gut nur leider in Fremdsprache.

Not a bad movie and well acted with some experienced actors. However I had seen the original 'uncut' version which was longer, more explicit and carried the story better. This copy has been heavily edited to the point the plot becomes difficult to to follow.The labeling should state this version is the abridged version.

Das Produkt ist in Ordnung.

This dvd I been looking for for years I finally tracked down. I have the U.S version, which was heavily edited, so I ordered a U.K import. It is very close to the uncut version i seen on showcase many years ago, and I was not disappointed.

be prepared for LOTS of nudity and sex ... not for kids
