The Notorious Daughter of Fanny Hill (1966)
A disappointing release from Something Weird Video
I love Something Weird Video and its vast panoply of strangeness. That said, this DVD is not amongst their best. When I watch a movie that I know is bad, I want the sort of bad movie that my friends and I can sit and mercilessly heckle. And certainly this movie is very bad. The problem with "The Notorious Daughter of Fanny Hill" is that it is not quite bad enough. It is low budget, fairly tame, but moderately competent softcore semiporn. Skin flicks on Cinemax are racier than this dated outing. What this film really accomplishes is being really magnificently boring.
The second offering in the DVD, "The Head Mistress" is somewhat better at being bad to the point of funny, but still mostly manages to be exhaustively boring softcore. The DVD is also loaded with extras and the trailers here came the closest to making me feel like I didn't waste my money. But overall, I believe this DVD is not worth the effort. Instead pickup the endlessly entertaining "Beauties and Beasts" Box Set.
