As with any successful film formula, many sequels followed 1974's Confessions of a Window Cleaner. This installment being one of the later films, of the series. Even at this late stage, It still manages to boasts nearly all the regular cast members. With a few more familiar British Acting faces thrown in as well. So how have things moved on from the early sauciness? Well if possible, things have become more 'lowest common denominator'. Even more naked flesh, sexual shenaigans, bowels movements, and the expected anti-homosexual undertones. This isn't to say I didn't enjoy it. I chuckled quite a few times, because I'm a sucker for this kind of British tat.

I'll attempt to summarize the complicated story line, sorry if you get lost (ok, so sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but it's so satisfying). Sid and Timmo have managed to get themselves cushy jobs, at a Butlins style holiday camp. All is going well (apart from the British weather) until a new boss is appointed. He decides to take a radical new approach, and actually makes our hero's work for their money. The two make their best efforts to stay in the boss's good books, but as always things soon get on top of them (pun very much intended).

We are only five minutes into the film before Mr Askwith has his trousers round his ankles, and from here on, it doesn't really stop. Talk about a pre-Aids era, he's at it with everyone. Very cushily he gets appointed to organise the camp beauty contest (holiday camp that is), and as a result all the women seduce him, in order to win (with it being such a prestigious honor an all). Sid's 'rolls in the hay' are interrupted by a visit from his wife, and Son. So while Timmo is up to his nuts in the guests, Sidney, is up to neck in grief, from his misses, and the boss. The main reason being a camp streaker (again we're talking about the holiday camp), which of course is Tim bouncing from one naked predicament to another.

After plenty of farce style situations have followed each other, we soon get to the typical British comedy ending, a cream cake fight. The beauty contest is a disaster, everyone gets covered in cream, and even the camp (not the holiday camp this time) Lionel turns straight. So with our two hero's ending up in the pond, the credits can roll on another job well done!!

aka: Confessions of a Summer Camp Counsellor

Directed: Norman Cohen

Linda Hayden Content:
Another of Linda's 'funny accent' roles. This time it's a showcase for a bit of French. She doesn't have such a prominent part as 'Window Cleaner', but she does pop up for some memorable moments, and in some even more memorable outfits. She was meant to be French, so maybe that green thing was supposed to be an example of 'wacky' continental fashion. Actually I'm not sure what was more criminal, the swimming costume, or the fact she was made to wear it in such cold looking conditions. Sadist British Directors! Anyway Linda has a very interesting game of Snooker, a romp in a room full of inflatable animals, and a lot of rather silly dialog. The lines "what has happened the Timmy I once knew", don't really ring true. As the Timmy she once knew was just as much a dirty bugger then, as he is now. Her character seems to have forgotten about all the sexual fluids they had previously exchanged. The last we see of her, she is covered in cream, and canoodling under a table with the sexual pendulum, Lionel. An interesting predicament to end a film in.

Anyway it's always good to see Linda on screen, and she does her best through out this crude, but endearing film. Which ultimately comes across like a message, from a time when things were more about not getting caught, rather than what you could catch. Which is probably what makes it so watchable.
