Storia
Lord Wingate, recently acquitted for fraud, starts an unconventional 'finishing school' to teach young women how to seduce wealthy men and extract money from them in return for a percentage of their earnings. He enlists the Duchess of Burwood as a teacher and Hector as a fitness instructor. The first batch of students are sourced from Holloway prison via an old mini bus provided by a probation officer friend. However, the school's operations don't remain secret for long. Neighbors and police become suspicious, leading to newspaper reports about former prison inmates mingling in high society. This eventually results in a raid on the school and Lord Wingate's second court appearance. Despite his own conviction, the judge expresses interest in starting his own 'school for sex'.
Riassunto
Directed by Pete Walker in 1969, 'School for Sex' is a British comedy film that blends exploitation cinema with humor and social commentary. The story revolves around Lord Wingate, a con artist who uses his recent acquittal as an opportunity to set up a peculiar finishing school. The movie explores themes of deception, ambition, and the blurred lines between manipulation and empowerment in relationships. It's notable for its unique premise and controversial subject matter, which was reflective of the changing societal norms and sexual liberation movements of the late 1960s.
