Alvin Purple (1973)


Director: Tim Burstall

The film is a sex-farce which follows the misadventures of a naïve young Melbourne man Alvin Purple (Blundell) whom women find irresistible. He must try (unsuccessfully) to resist legions of women who want him. Alvin is so worn-out he seeks psychiatric help to solve his problems. His psychiatrist is, of course, a woman. At the end Alvin falls in love with the one girl who doesn't throw herself at him, but she becomes a nun, and he ends up a gardener in the convent's gardens.
