personal services (1987)


"We know what happens to naughty boys don't we!"
The life and times of Christine Painter (Julie Walters), and her rise to become one of Britain's favourite brothel owners, not that there is much competition for this accolade.
Walters puts in a sterling performance, as the larger than life character. The comedy gives it a seaside postcard levity, exposing the hypocracy behind societies view on sex and deviancy. Inspired by the life of Cynthia Payne.
