Victor Henry was described as a rising star when he made All
Neat in Black Stockings in 1969 which he followed by some television
work in the same year and then went on to make a couple of appearances in
Thirty Minute Theatre. He also acted in a selection of stage work before his
premature death at the age of 42 in November 1985. His death occurred when he
was walking down a street when a car crashed into a lamppost that fell on his
head. He was in hospital for over a year without gaining consciousness.
If the Christopher Morahan directed movie was anything to go by then
this cross between a late sixties sex romp and a kitchen sink drama was not a
very good example of Henry's acting skills. In the movie he plays Ginger a randy
window cleaner who thinks he's Gods gift to women but is happy to share his
conquests with his equally randy mate Dwyer played by Jack Shepherd in his
debut movie. The main centre of attention is Jill played by the sultry Susan
George in an early role.

For some reason that's beyond me the Network release on DVD is described
as a cult classic, which it certainly is not. Taken from a Jane Gaskell novel
who also co-wrote the screenplay, an author who was best known for writing fantasy,
which is probable the best way to describe this nonsense.
