The Amorous Milkman is a 1975 British comedy film directed by Derren Nesbitt and starring Julie Ege, Diana Dors and Brendan Price. 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."

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.

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"; while Sky Movies wrote, "much in the vulgar mode of dozens of 'Confessions', 'Adventures' and '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."
