Around The World With Fanny Hill (aka Jorden Runt Med Fanny Hill)

Erotica

Sweden

Klubb Super 8

This film was made in 1973 but has cleaned up really well for its age. It was produced to exploit the increasing desire for light erotica in the world film industry caused by the growth in video recorders. It also got around many of the anti-pornography laws in the U.S. because of its foreign origin.

The plot is largely unimportant. Fanny suspects her husband is having it off with some of the models he works with daily. He is confident that she is faithful to him although she actually is getting a bit on the side. She arranges to set him up with her best friend Monica to test his loyalty. Although he resists at first he finally gives in to her. At that point Fanny bursts in with a photographer. She now has evidence to divorce him.

She and Monica then set off to build film careers in Hollywood. There is lots of nudity, a certain amount of slapstick humour, and more nudity. Since both girls are quite attractive I managed to sit through the nude scenes (several times) to bring you this review. Someone’s got to do it. The sex scenes are titillating but in no way offensive. Admittedly, I am not easily upset by nudity but I find it hard to imagine how this film could be regarded as pornographic by anyone.

From Hollywood the girls go to Hong Kong .for no apparent reason. Here they meet up with the film producer from Hollywood again and more nudity ensues.

Fanny’s husband Roger has found out where she is and wants her back so he follows her around the world. Next stop Venice, then Munich where we see the evils of the permissive rock culture. And more nudity. And so on. But even with a film career and fame she finds she still loves Roger.

As films go this is a real lightweight, but it’s not intended to be anything else. It’s just a sexy little romp with attractive women. What more could you want?
