It's another directed by Martin Campbell. As with his The Sex Thief it's a film that stands up in it's own right without any sauciness. Basically a class above the norm.

For those wondering who Campbell is, he would go on to direct two of the best received and most popular Bond films ever in Goldeneye (1995) and Casino Royale (2006)

It?s because the film looked to be a bit different that it got me interested. It sounds really funny as a take on the film director trying to please all the different markets and producers by making 4 versions of the same film at the same time.

They dedicated a bit of time in the Saucy doc to it.

Simon Sheridan confirmed to me that a physical version of 'Saucy' will be available but no date set yet.

Eskimo Nell was great! It was a big surprise, I expected something more, I don't know, basic, a cash-in on the sex comedy "craze", but it the script was interesting, the actors were great and a good time was apparently had by all
