At the end of the film, Peter is revealed to be a butcher's assistant entertaining sexual fantasies.

Cast

Critical response

The film was negatively received by Derek Malcolm of The Guardian and Nina Hibbin of the Morning Star.[2]

Calling the film "charmless and flashy", Nigel Andrews of The Monthly Film Bulletin criticised its "monotony" of presentation and the "vulgar tedium" of the protagonist's sexual encounters.[3]
