action
Looking back, Fanny Hill recounts how she moved from the country to London as an orphan. As soon as she got there, a thief steals the little money she has. Through a matchmaker , she ends up unsuspecting in a whore house , whose puffmother is selling her precious untouchedness to a disgusting suitor . However, she successfully defends herself against this man's intrusiveness.
Fanny soon meets the amiable young Charles, who enables her to escape from the brothel, and falls in love with him. He deflowered her in an inn. Their immense happiness comes to an abrupt end when Charles' father, who has other plans for his son, sends the young man to the Caribbean . Fanny loses the comfort of expecting a child from Charles through a miscarriage. To cover her high debts, she becomes the mistress of a wealthy lord, for whom a riding crop is one of the essential utensils for sex. When he catches her with the stable boy, he ends their connection. Fanny hires the elegant Ms. Cole, who disguises her upscale brothel as a hat manufacturer. She feels comfortable in this elegant company. She sweetens the last days of the old and wealthy bachelor Barville and inherits his entire fortune. She triumphantly travels back to the north of England. During an overnight stay, she overhears the voice of Charles, who has returned to England and has been desperately looking for her. They happily embrace each other and henceforth live in prosperity.
Reviews
The German critics said the film reduced the plot of the novel to soft porn. The film service called the “colorful” painting and “pompous” production “to wean” and advised against it. The Fischer Film Almanach only saw “a revue of numbers”, while the 1984 film yearbook mentions the beauty of the leading actress, but also that the supporting characters were more enjoyable than Fanny Hill.
