Scandale is one the most infamous films ever made in Canada. This movie was based on the true story of a number of employees working for the Quebec Government who augmented their meager paychecks (during the 1981- 82 recession) by using the facilities to film porno flicks.
A number of employees in the Quebec Government are fed up with their boss Mr. Rousseau. He refuses to give them Christmas bonuses and he's a rake who hits on all the pretty females in the office; who respond by giving him the stapler to his scrotum. Repeatedly. He even charges people to use the restrooms.
The employees decide to secretly create a porn film with the T.V. equipment in the facility and they recruit other employees such as the cleaning lady, Mr. and Mrs. Rousseau's chauffeur and some people they find at an adult club. We then see the zany attempts to cover up their dirty work.
The film is actually quite funny in a slapstick kind of way as everybody is trying to keep the project hush-hush. While there's a lot of nudity, there isn't anything sexually explicit. It's kind of like a 1960's nudie. Sophie Lorain is the stand-out as the cute Lucille. She looks quite delicious here.
My favorite scene is the recruitment attempts at the adult club where famed Quebecoise chanteuse Nanette Workman performs Call Girl. Workman is an interesting story as she's an American woman who made her name singing Francophone songs.
I doubt the movie is on any DVD or even VHS tape but if you can find it somewhere, check it out. It's quite a hoot.
