The Ups and Downs of a Handyman

1976 · 100 min

A breezy, cheeky romp through village life, full of silly innuendo and harmless naughty escapades.

Tagline: Always Handy - the odd job man whose services are constantly in demand!
Overview: A young handyman and his wife move to a small village and set up business. There, the handyman encounters numerous strange characters, including a local constable more inept than a squad car full of Keystone Kops; an elderly magistrate whose primary passion is spanking young women; a schoolmistress with a closetful of kinks; and more predatory housewives than the young man can handle.
How it feels: Campy, absurd, light and satirical. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Sexuality, identity, class, work
Content: Strong sexual content. Mild language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
