Eskimo Nell

  • 1975 film

Eskimo Nell - 40th Anniversary Special Edition

Alongside Come Play With Me and Confessions Of A Window Cleaner, Eskimo Nell takes its place as one of the most celebrated British sex comedies of the 1970s.

Featuring a witty script from Michael Armstrong (who also stars) and directed by a young Martin Campbell years before he helmed the James Bond movies GoldenEye and Casino Royale, Eskimo Nell is a satire on the low-budget British movie industry.

Three inexperienced filmmakers (Armstrong, Christopher Timothy and Terence Edmond) attempt to make a movie version of the notoriously rude poem The Ballad of Eskimo Nell, with disastrous results.

This classic British comedy features a cast of famous faces including Roy Kinnear, Katy Manning (Doctor Who), Christopher Biggins, Diane Langton (Carry On England), Anna Quayle (Grange Hill) and an eye-popping cameo from 1970s sex-bomb Mary Millington in her début movie.

Re-mastered from the original film elements, and boasting a host of special features, Eskimo Nell celebrates its 40th anniversary.
