Australian '70s sex comedy romp. Critics thumbed their noses, but audiences loved it to the point where Alvin Purple was the commercially successful Australian movie ever, at the time. Graeme Blundell is Alvin, your regular, run-of-the-mill waterbed salesman with an unusual problem - he is constantly pursued by over-sexed women.

"This comedy, made in Melbourne with local actors, is beautifully scripted by Aussie playwright Alan Hopgood with double entendres and situations abounding. Pace is slick and the pic never sags."

Variety"Given the attitudes of today’s censors, who generally regard sexual representations with more suspicion and harsher classifications than violence, Alvin Purple won’t be going out of date any time soon."
