Confessions from the David Galaxy Affair

Alan Lake who was of gypsy heritage was a brooding actor who in real life had to battle a few demons. He always gave a committed performance.

Lake was also married to Diana Dors, who appears in this movie. He died shortly after Dors death.

Lake must have needed the money as well as exercise his comedy shops. Only the script is weak and given the notoriety of the movie. This is softcore stuff with not much of Mary Millington.

David Galaxy (Alan Lake) is a playboy astrologer who is wanted by the police for a heist that took place five years earlier.

Chief Inspector Evans (Glynn Edwards) is onto Galaxy, especially as he cannot provide an alibi for the day the heist in question. (It was 5 years ago!)

While looking for his mates to provide Galaxy with a false alibi. He is challenged to satisfy Millie (Mary Millington) who has never experienced an orgasm.

Some of the humour is very dated and very little is funny. There is some nudity and a pretty mainstream cast that includes Kenny Lynch and Bernie Winters.

Husband and wife acting team Alan Lake and Diana Dors sink to the lowest point of their respective careers in this tedious British sex comedy. The long, drawn-out plot fails to hold the attention and Lake's performance, as sex-obsessed astrologer David Galaxy, is annoying and virtually unwatchable, (why any woman would fall for his hackneyed chat-up lines is anyone's guess). Despite a fairly interesting role as a wealthy businesswoman, Dors doesn't fair much better either. The movie's one saving grace is a brief turn fom 70's sex bomb Mary Millington, playing one of Galaxy's numerous sexual 'conquests'. Mary's performance is funny and mesmerizing but even she fails to save a pitiful film.

This was made at a time when attendance at cinemas was plummeting and there was a duopoly of Rank and ABC.They were both desperate for British films to fulfil their quota requirements that they would show feeble sex comedies like this.There is the pleasure of spotting British character actors,such as Ballard Berkeley,taking the money and running.
