But The Ladies Man isn t just all talk. When she turns toward the audience, the still camera taking her picture blocks a view of full nudity. Phelps bare behind is shown. As are some of his sexual encounters. Other scenes of breast nudity, sexual conquest and a scene that makes a big joke out of suicide and masturbation fill the theater with an almost palatable stench.
Nothing s off-limits.
And profanity is only part of the picture. Phelps always has a snifter of brandy at hand. Several scenes are set in a corner bar filled with drunken patrons, who amazingly are meant to be sympathetic characters. Roget's Thesaurus does not contain enough synonyms to describe how repulsive this movie is, and at the risk of insulting every child on earth, it s hard to believe anyone above the age of 12 could have been involved in the making of it. With any luck, this movie will do neither.
