Eskimo Nell (film)

Eskimo Nell, a.k.a. The Ballad of Eskimo Nell a.k.a. The Sexy Saga of Naughty Nell and Big Dick, is a 1975 British film directed by Martin Campbell and produced by Stanley Long. Though inspired by The Ballad of Eskimo Nell, the movie owes little to the original bawdy song.

Many of the films characters are based on real personalities of the time, Lady Longhorn and Lord Coltwind the backers of the wholesome family version are thinly veiled caricatures of Mary Whitehouse and Lord Longford. While Benny U. Murdoch is loosely based on Tony Tenser, head of Tigon films. A more obscure figure the film ridicules is Louis Deke M. Heyward, the London representative of AIP American International Pictures who had previously clashed with the films writer, Michael Armstrong. during the making of Armstrongs directing debut, The Haunted House of Horror, in 1969. In Eskimo Nell, Heyward is parodied as Big Dick, a crass, foulmouthed American producer from A.W.P Films, and the backer of the hardcore porno version. A similar character had previously appeared in Armstrongs script for The Sex Thief in 1973.A prefame Mary Millington, then just a jobbing actressmodel using her married name Mary Maxted, has a small role in the film, playing a stripping traffic warden who auditions for a part in the film within a film. Although Millington appears only fleetingly with her audition speeded up for comic effect, stills from her scene were used to publicize the film in the likes of Titbits and Cinema X magazine. ........
