'''''The Amorous Milkman''''' is a 1975 British [[comedy film]] directed by [[Derren Nesbitt]] and starring [[Julie Ege]], [[Diana Dors]] and [[Brendan Price]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/133210|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090114183537/http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/133210|url-status=dead|archive-date=2009-01-14|title=The Amorous Milkman|work=BFI}}</ref> The plot is about a young [[milkman]] who enjoys a number of adventures with bored women on his round. One version of the poster showed a self-satisfied cat licking its lips above the tagline, "If your pussy could only talk."<ref>{{cite news|last=Bergan|first=Ronald |author1-link=Ronald Bergan|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2008/may/02/obituaries.world|title=Julie Ege|work=The Guardian|date=2 May 2008|access-date=30 March 2021}}</ref>

== Plot ==
Randy milkman Davey ends up delivering more than pints of milk to some of the bored housewives on his round. In a short space of time he finds himself engaged to two different women, Janice and Margo, on the receiving end of a bad beating from John, the local gangster, whose girlfriend Diana has been two-timing him with Davey, and finally ending up in court on a rape charge when Gerald, an irate husband, comes home unexpectedly and discovers Davey and his wife Rita in a compromising situation.

==Cast==
* [[Julie Ege]] as Diana
* [[Diana Dors]] as Rita
* [[Brendan Price]] as Davey

==Production==
It was one of a number of sex comedies featuring Diana Dors.<ref name="bomb">{{cite magazine|first=Stephen|last=Vagg|magazine=Filmink|title=A Tale of Two Blondes: Diana Dors and Belinda Lee|date=September 7, 2020|url=https://www.filmink.com.au/a-tale-of-two-blondes-diana-dors-and-belinda-lee/}}</ref>

==Critical reception==
David Parkinson, the ''[[Radio Times]]'' reviewer, wrote: "Brendan Price does his best to rattle his pintas with panache. The most significant thing about this bawdy trash is what it says about the state of the [[British film industry]] at the time – it's sad that this was the only worthwhile work Diana Dors, Roy Kinnear and other talented actors could find";<ref>{{cite web|last=Parkinson|first=David|url=http://www.radiotimes.com/film/mt59n/the-amorous-milkman|title=The Amorous Milkman|work=RadioTimes}}</ref> while [[Sky Movies]] wrote, "much in the vulgar mode of dozens of '[[Confessions of a Window Cleaner|Confessions]]', '[[Adventures of a Taxi Driver|Adventures]]' and '[[Up Pompeii (film)|Up]]' sex romps of the Seventies, this one-man project (actor Derren Nesbitt wrote, produced and directed it) is a touch above that level, if only because its girls are at least sexy and its veteran cast is full of names who have seen better films and better days."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://skymovies.sky.com/the-amorous-milkman/review|title=The Amorous Milkman|work=Find and Watch}}</ref>
