You could become an avid fan, highly addicted, or just turn off. Michael Cashman was strongly favored for the lead at one time. The only character that is worth watching is Timmy's love interest, played by the very pretty Linda Hayden. One wonders if the ever present threat of nuclear war with the Soviet Union spurred these women into getting as much 'crumpet' as possible before the real big bang.
This just happens to be the worst of the series. Its a terrible movie with little comedy and the plot is terrible.

I must admit I like them all even though this is my favourite. The only difference between this and the UK print is one reference Timmy makes to his "ass" in the American version. He develops a relationship with a copper (Hayden) who was to become Askwith's real life second wife, where brother and law, Sidney Nogget, the refined Booth, an old flame of the coppers, has seconds, a tasty revenge scene in the following. Seen today, it's a rather twee, somewhat amusing, and completely dated little movie more embarrassing than it is funny. Rosie Noggett Dandy Nichols.
When they came out they were probably intended to be sexy, now the hairstyles, the fashions and the women are very funny, although not initially intended to be, these films have got better with age, and hey, I should probably not admit this but I really enjoyed the start of this film with Robin Askwith riding on his bike to a cheesy theme song!
However his heart belongs to Liz, who demands the highest commitment until she lets him go all the way.
What I love about the film is Maynard, the grovelling crotchety Dad, who loves collecting antiqueish crapola, moose head and all.

The sexual misadventures of Timothy Lea and his brother-in-law Sidney Noggett when they set up a driving school... Storyline. Most Brits will tell you that the "Confessions of" series of the 1970's sex comedies was not nearly as good as the more famous "Carry on" series, but if you're non-British and are more interested in sex and nudity than British humor (which might be an oxymoron) and seeing a lot of middle-aged Ealing Street comedians who you probably won't recognize anyway, the "Confessions of" series is the way to go.
Its up there with on the Buses and Carry on. They were the work of Christopher Wood, and their riotous blend of sex and slapstick made them bestsellers. To me, its the weakest of the Confessions films. It was a very funny film as well.
Depicted within are the struggles of a race, akin to what I regarded in Shindler's list. 2 out of 2 found this helpful

I must say.
Great documentary featuring a day in the life of a window cleaner. The out of work British man, making ends meat.
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.
Clunking, crass, monotonously unfunny, it's the sort of film that gives sexism a bad name.Keep track of everything you watch; tell your friends. I think this genre of Saucy 70's British film is forever being slated by critics, Yes they are dumb, but they are harmless, the makers of these films did not intend to make groundbreaking cinema, but a funny and saucy alternative to the rest of the films tha country was producing from that era.
And if Confessions of a Window Cleaner's protagonist, young Timmy Lea, was at all typical, then being a demin-clad, rubber lipped minger was no barrier to scoring more hole-in-ones than Tiger Woods. Edit. This was the start of a run of the confession films, all had good plots if only somewhat "cheesey".

If you were a randy adolescent, what better way to escape the madness than by slipping into a grotty pre-Multiplex era cinema, Barrat's sherbert fountain in hand, Pearl and Dean ads in your ears and explore the wonderful new world of the permissive society? This is the first of the Confessions films based on Timothy Lea's novels and starring Robin Askwith as Timmy.
I like to watch these films last thing at night, I call them 'bedtime films' you can just switch on after a hard day's graft, and perhaps even switch your brain off to watch them, there is just a fun, cheap thrill element to them, the films have an 18 certificate, due to nudity, but take that away they'd probably be a 'U' due to almost childish humore and very slapstick stuff!
