It was all going swimingly

Deep End (1971)

Directed by Jerzy Skolimowski this joint British-West German film stars John Moulder Brown and Jane Asher. A young pool attendant becomes obsessed with his female co-worker and struggles to come to terms with the sexually charged world of the pool.

Only recently rediscovered this film was thought lost for a long time but certainly typifies films about the sexual revolution in Britain. The plot does appear a little bit scatter brained and viewers should be warned there is a fair amount of nudity. When it comes to execution some of the dialogue does not seem perfectly synced and there is an odd foreign language news paper that pops up being read by an extra on the tube.

3/5
