The SassyFlix Take

Only in British sex comedy can Fanny Hill and Lady Chatterley run rival brothels, make outrageous wagers, and rope in a bespectacled wine seller to judge the results. Joanna Lumley and Penny Brahms gleefully toe the line between saucy farce and outright sexploitation, as steam rooms, footsie games, and a parade of eccentric clients keep the stakes—and stockings—high.

From the Vault

Proof that in 1971 Britain, no wager was too risqué—and no bet too bawdy—for a good comedy romp.

Why Cult

Battle of the Brothels

Watch two ambitious madames outwit, outplay, and out-seduce each other in a bawdy wager set in 1920s London.

British Sex Comedy Vibes

Expect classic sexploitation tropes: one-way mirrors, steamy footsie, and just enough farce to keep the laughs coming.

Eccentric Clientele

From a drag queen to a portly bishop and a staid wine seller, the madames’ wager draws in a memorably odd cast of characters.

About This Film
