Unlike that recent photo of her posted on another thread, Jane was a
stunningly gorgeous creature in her day. I mean ALL of her!! Why Paul
dumped her for Linda Eastman and her hairy legs, I'll never know. Yes, Jane
appears in this film voluptuously and completely nude.
For those of you who have never seen it, here's a synopsis of the film:
Mike, a fifteen year-old London boy, takes his first job at the seedy
Newford public baths in the men's division. He is taught the ropes by his
co-worker Susan (Jane Asher), a beautiful 23-year-old who gets him to agree
to send her male clients in exchange for her female clients so they can both
get bigger tips. Mike doesn't provide the women Susan sends him with any
sexual favors, but since he is handsome and looks older than he is, they
find him suitable to just stand near them while they have sexual fantasies.
[ LOL!! Does this have the makings of a kinky film or what?? ] Mike
doesn't know it, but while he is taking care of Susan's clients, Susan is
having an affair with the baths' swim instructor, who is also Mike's gym
teacher at school. And this despite the fact that Susan is engaged to marry
another man.
Mike quickly develops an enormous crush on Susan [ as did I, even more
quickly than Mike did!! ]. When two teenage boys at the swimming pool imply
that Susan "sleeps around", Mike fights them. While underwater in the pool,
he fantasizes about seeing her completely nude. [ Welcome to the club,
Mike ]
Susan treats Mike with friendly contempt, but when she accidentally sees him
without his clothes, she finds him attractive despite his young age [ I did
not.] Although she would never consider becoming romantically involved
with him, when he tells her he's a virgin, she begins flirting with his
affections and encouraging his sexual interest in her. [ Not a wise move,
as we shall see. ]
When Susan and her fiancé go to see a porn movie, Mike follows them and sits
directly behind her. Susan soon learns he is there and allows him to stroke
her breast. [ Jane Asher is NOT small-breasted despite her petite build.
Trust me on this.] But Susan soon tires of this [ even thought Mike
doesn't - LOL!! ] and SLAPS him and sends her fiancé to get the theater
manager. While her fiancé is gone, Susan changes her tune [ like women so
often do ] and kisses Mike on the lips [ rather passionately, I might add.]
One day, Mike catches Susan and his gym teacher having sex, becomes very
upset, and tells Susan he will no longer switch clients with her. He tries
to sabotage her date she is having with her fiancé by riding his bicycle in
front of his car. Susan ends up riding over Mike's bike and crushing it,
although Mike is not on it. [ Thankfully, otherwise the movie would be over
at this point.]
Mike then steals a poster from in front of a strip-joint because the
bare-breasted woman on it bears a striking resemblance to Susan. He angrily
confronts Susan with the poster. She denies that it is she on the poster,
but is not adamant enough about that fact to convince Mike she is telling
the truth. He is very disappointed in her. However, that night he throws
the poster into the swimming pool, then jumps on it, holding it in his arms,
pretending it is Susan. [During my own adolescence, I was quite horny, I'll
admit, but not THAT horny.]
After a gym event, Susan discovers that Mike has punctured the tires on his
gym teacher's car. She scuffles with Mike and the diamond from her
engagement ring falls off the ring and into the snow. She panics, but Mike
helps her carry bags of snow into the empty swimming pool, where they can
strain the snow and look for the diamond. When the gym teacher appears and
yells at Susan for the damage done to his car, she gets even more upset,
tells him to go away, and breaks off their engagement. When she returns
from calling her fiancé on the phone to apologize, she finds Mike lying buck
naked at the bottom of the empty pool, with the missing diamond between his
teeth, and a "Cheshire Cat" expression on his face. Afraid that he will
swallow the diamond and thereby force her to retrieve it when it is later
passed [ UGHH!! ], she strips off all her clothing to reward him. He
quickly gives her the diamond, and she starts to leave....abandoning any
pretense about "rewarding" him, but then notices his sad expression and
takes pity on him, changes her mind, and tells him he can do anything he
wants with her [ AAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!! ].
Meanwhile, a bath attendant who is unaware that Susan and Mike are at the
bottom of the empty pool opens a valve that forces cold water into the pool
at high pressure. Mike becomes very upset at "losing the mood" (and more!).
Susan gets up to answer the poolside phone that has begun ringing, as well
as to escape the rising water level in the pool, but Mike won't let her
leave the pool until they have talked through what has just happened (!!).
She starts to climb out of the pool anyway, but Mike swings an overhanging
lamp at her and knocks her unconscious. She falls back into the water.
Mike puts his arms around her and strokes her in the same way he stroked the
poster, as the water mixes with the red paint of an overturned paint can.
Susan is drowned.
END OF MOVIE SYNOPSIS
I must admit (anonymously, of course) that I definitely needed some
"release" after watching this movie late one night at home. And I will
further confess to waking my wife up and obtaining said release....although
I'm not completely certain she ever really woke up. I suppose I interpreted
her silence as consent.
In any case, I've seen ALL of Jane Asher's films, and this one represents
her most mature role, in my opinion. The sexual intensity between Mike and
Susan is very effectively conveyed. The movie contains a hysterically funny
scene between Mike and a big, buxom Diana Dors that has to be seen to be
believed. And the director uses the color red to great effect throughout
the film, from the opening credits to Jane Asher's beautiful red hair, to
red water in the pool at the end...and much more. Very artistically done.
Watch this movie....if you can find it. If you're a male, I can almost
guarantee you'll fall in love with Jane Asher.....and you'll be scratching
your head wondering why McCartney was such a complete ass.

An ass is someone who would marry a woman for her young body and expect that to
sustain a relationship for the next 50 years.
Great. Another perv.
She caught him having sex at his house
with someone else and that was the final straw.
Of couse, there had been some tension between
them steming from the fact that Jane wanted to
have and maintain a career, while, McCartney
wanted her to just be a stay-at-home, get-me-my-slippers
housewife (with no career or outside life).
It's doubtful they could have survived anyway without
McCartney dropping his archie bunker male-chauvinism
act - but his constant screwing around was actually the
event that caused Jane to walk out on McCartney for good.
She dropped him.
McCartney was fortunate in his life to have at one time
the beautiful Jane Asher as his girlfriend, and the brilliant
John Lennon as his best friend.
His lack of support and self -serving pomposity
ended up destroying both of these relationships.
Just as he introduced an unneccessary rift and
constraint in his relationship with Jane (while
simultaneously cheating on her), he also tried to
usurp Lennon's role as leader, introduced a divisive
manager nonreconciliation (warfare) into the band,
pointlessly bossed around George & Ringo and
even edit them out of recordings (until they nearly quit),
thwarted John's efforts to make "Revolution" a Beatles
A-side, was generally nasty towards John's girlfriend/fiance,
and now gleefully appoints himself "the credit" for John's music
(after his murder) and conspires to legally switch around the
Lennon-McCartney trademark.
McCartney never valued what was special in his life.
He traded away quality for power.

I guess John thought this play was cool and chauvinistic, too- he pulled
it on Cynthia with Yoko- Paul- ever the trend setter...

Something domestic in a Cynthia Lennon kind of way, which suited John
for a spell, then came his breakdown and his values changed...

Much like John and Cynthia...

Yeah, once he met Linda, he really straightened out and she stayed
around- funny that. He actually raised a near normal family, despite the
odds... "Hey Jules, don't make it bad..."

The split was so bitter with Paul as the villian, Peter, Jane's brother,
never spoke or worked for / with Paul ever again...not.

Yeah, destroyed. All his fault. No support for John's sketchy songs, nor
for John's solo career which couldn't exist alongside the Beatles...

So, did he do Bridget Bardot after John tried and failed? Paul- always
the one-upsman, til John couldn't up him anymore...
he also tried to
> usurp Lennon's role as leader,
Not at all- John took so much acid that nothing mattered to him anymore
except going to the bathroom w Yoko, being naked and outragious w Yoko,
and doing pretty much what Yoko wanted, which was promoting her or
JohnandYoko, and ultimately his solo career became another Yoko art
piece: the John Lennon "half a record" catalogue...
> manager nonreconciliation (warfare) into the band,
Paul was doing what he thought was best for him and his buds. Obviously,
the Klein decision (despite Mick's supposed warnings) was not shopped
around too hard and I've not heard any crow-eatings from John or George
on this, but they had to reckon several times with Al in court...
As for Paul buying more "beanies" in publishing shares- another Paul
first. Lennon was already playing devisive games, Paul probably felt
"sod him" and decided why should he tell John? Had Paul told John the
strategy straight away, John would have been right there copying Paul.
Not really "leading" the pack in business sense, your boy John...
> pointlessly bossed
strawword: pointlessly / those without your agenda would say:

As opposed to John, who just about couldn't be bothered to do anything
decent on George's tunes- not really the pillar of support in the "Get
Back" diaries, either. And it was John, not Paul, who wore George's
lunch one day at the Twickenham canteen, not in the sport of fun...
> thwarted John's efforts to make "Revolution" a Beatles
> A-side,
If I remember "Lennon Remembers" correctly, "them" was used. and you
forget Paul laid it down for John's most urgent "Ballad of John and
Yoko"- a recording that had to be done in short order without George and
Ringo. So top priority...
>was generally nasty towards John's girlfriend/fiance,
Not as nasty as what John did the night Nixon got re-elected. Any poor
wife would have left her husband after a stunt like that. But with
millions at stake, Yoko stuck around and the dalliance was shushed away
with much PR about their "fairytale" "the greatest" "love affair" he and
Yoko had...
I'd love to see Yoko allow all the wives for the session players to show
up and chime in and hoot and holler for the Double Fantasy sessions. Oh
yeah- that was top secret and "closed doors". Double Standards for
Double Fantasy.

Like raising a family, maintaining an active career, doing something
constructive- not just laying around watching TV and hyping "Gertrude"
to all of us...
> He traded away quality for power.
John didn't trade away quality or power. He gave it away. That's all
nutopian of him doing so, but that's depession fodder when you ain't
using "what you got, until you lose it".
Watching TV for hours and days on end when you're simply laying around
being an ex-celebrity? ...that's depressing. John's happiest moments
were hanging out with the guys, making music. By 1968, he was acid
burned and needed to clean up. The Maharishi respite helped, but once
back in London, down he slid, losing touch with his muse and real
matters.
John traded away his paltry driving skills, too. Blame it on the
chauffeur.
Alright- I'm done donating to the fair and balanced guild.
BTW, Jane's quite lovely.
