Alan Roberts, an American director born in the 1940s, made significant contributions to exploitation cinema during the 1970s and 1980s. He directed Young Lady Chatterley (1977), a provocative adaptation that explored themes of sexuality and desire, and The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood (1980), where he also served as a writer, blending humor with risqué elements. His work continued with Young Lady Chatterley II (1985), further cementing his role in the genre that challenged social norms and entertained audiences with bold narratives.
The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood
Loosely based on the life of Xaviera Hollander, a prostitute from the Netherlands, as she attempts to make a film in Hollywood based on her best-selling book about her life. She gets involved with some of the most crooked producers in Hollywood, but beats them at their own game and films the movie without them.
