aka The Wild Heart.
"Will you marry me Hazel, I'll give you a good home, and try and be a good husband..."

secrets of a door-to-door salesman (1973)
aka Naughty Wives.
"Let him be young. Let him be heterosexual. Let him be Jewish!"
Lobster fisherman David Clyde (Brendan Price) ups sticks to London and lands in at a boarding house full of young women, who take a shine to him, and decide to find him a job. The first, as a porn actor, doesn't work out, so he opts for door-to-door salesman, but all the while he pines for a Ukrainian Au-pair (Jean Harrison), he had previously helped on his way down to London.
Whilst this is the usual lame British 70's sex comedy, it displays something above most in this genre. The nudity is supplied by the likes of Felicity Devonshire, Jean Harrington, Sue Longhurst, and Victoria Burgoyne. Whilst Chic Murray brushes down his policeman's uniform for another cameo appearance. Interestingly this was set to be Jonathan Demme's directorial debut, but he fled back to LA and Roger Corman, when he fell out with the producers, and only filmed the opening scenes.
