This is the slightly disappointing follow-up to the money-making CONFESSIONS OF A WINDOW CLEANER. POP PERFORMER tries to emulate the success and formula of that first film, but something about the set-up just doesn't ring true.
Part of the four-part series of British Confessions sex farces, this installment focuses on Timothy Lea (Robin Askwith, Four Dimensions of Greta), who is trying to make it in the world of pop music as he joins the band Kipper while remaining a window washer.Seriously - this movie is a Benny Hill-ish romp that I don't think would play well with today's audiences.
Robin Askwith was one of the most popular actors of the British sex comedy arc of the 70's and 80's, and there were four "Confessions" films. This one is about window cleaners (Robin and Anthony Booth) who stumble upon a band called "Kipper".
The second Confessions film uses the world of small time 1970s glam rock pop as the background for the usual shenanigans involving nudity and sexual encounters in sub-Carry On style.These films really are rubbish, yet they have a period quaintness and, perversely, an innocence belied by the smutty material.
Confessions of a Pop Performer, the second film to star Robin Askwith as randy, accident prone fanny-magnet Timmy Lea, sees our clumsy hero trying to find fame and fortune as the drummer for up and coming band 'Kipper'.
Sex-comedy about a 15 minute pop wonder.There has never been a great film about the groupie scene and this is a shame.
Peter Cleall who was made famous by the TV series "Please Sir" was an extremely good actor but for some reason the producers of the film "Confessions of a Pop Performer" decided in their better judgment to employ the services of a professional singer to dub his vocals. They chose Maynard Williams who was already contracted to play the part of "Eric" the Bass player of the group "Kipper".
Has anyone got this on DVD do they can grab still frames? I think some of the "hi-tech" seventies hardware in the record shop scene was scavenged/recycled from the Moonbase set used in Gerry Anderson's UFO.
It's apparent that the British love their sex comedies. The U.
