The slow, lingering death of the British film industry, 29 October 2001
Author: TC Raymond from England

The 1970s was a grim time for the British film industry. The Carry On franchise was experiencing a popularity slump, the Hammer horrors were being overtaken by slicker, bigger-budget horror films from the US (think The Omen and The Exorcist) and producers everywhere ploughed good money into dreadful TV spin-offs and cheapskate sex comedies like this one, perhaps buoyed up by the unexpected box office success of the turgid 'Confessions' series. KEEP IT UP DOWNSTAIRS isn't the worst example of the genre by a long chalk, boasting as it does some impressive period sets, costumes and some distinctly superior production design, but it's still dreck by anyone's standards. Fading stars (Jack Wild, most famous for being the Artful Dodger in OLIVER!, Aimi MacDonald, Diana Dors) and minor celebrities (Willie Rushton, the token sexy continental crumpet from the crashingly crass TV 'comedy' Mind Your Language) struggle gamely with a stupefying script crammed with coy couplings, single entendres, poorly-orchestrated slapstick and only the most slender of plot notions. It's neither sexy or much of a comedy, and the dirty mac brigade must have been distinctly miffed at coughing up good money to see a threadbare end-of-the-pier farce with a few bare breasts and bottoms flashed around occasionally. But remember, times were a lot simpler in 1976. God alone knows why this clunker turns up periodically on BBC1 as a late-night movie...are they trying to jump aboard the kitschy, self-aware, "we love 'em because they're so bad" bandwagon?
