Flossie is director Bert Torn's literate modern-dress version of an
English underground novel written (by one Jack Archer) back in 1810.
Promoted as “the most beautiful erotic fantasy ever” and already challenging “Emanuelles” as a box-office phenomenon abroad, “Flossie” lives up to it's blurbs with exquisite photography, pretty people and a spate of soft-core but fully consummated sexcapades more romantic than raunchy.
Performer Jack Frank - who looks like a young Joseph Cotten, even with his clothes off - plays a guy named Jack, who is invited by a worldly old flame to tutor her virginal blonde protégée in the arts of love. In the film's title role, Maria Lynn is the freshest little porn queen since Marilyn Chambers and excudes a Sweetheart of Sigma Chi innocence that makes her thirst for sexual knowledge seem both natural and disarming.
You don't have to be a swinging Swede to read between the lines of ”Flossie”'s frequent narration, which is intense, explicit and proper accompaniment to images made to tease the eye with intimate details that most sex-movies rush through in their haste to reach a splashy climax. Torn uses flashbacks to cover the obligatory orgies and lesbian sequences but keeps “Flossie” thrumming along seductively as well as subjectively - until every man jack of us begins to root for the hero to archive maximum penetration.
Seldom has this primal need been depicted on the screen with such wholesome spirit and zest. Another forward step in making smut utterly respectable.
- From Playboy Magazine, August 1975.
