This movie, when I first saw it, was an engaging and enjoyable romp, with good acting, music, and script. Everybody in it was clearly having fun, and Lisa Raines (Foster) was charming and delightful, perfect for the role. I've been a fan of this film ever since.

However, THIS transfer, despite the good picture quality and sound, wasn't worth getting. There are a number of pieces of the film missing, including a critical-to-the-story bit of narrative by Fanny near the end, which is on my VHS copy. Even if you haven't seen it before, you can tell the pieces are missing. There are abrupt "chops" in some sequences, or the music ends abruptly and the scene jumps.

This picture deserved MUCH better treatment.

I liked this movie when I first saw it about ten years ago. This version is heavily edited and the picture quality is poor

This once great movie has been butchered beyond being able to give it the stars it should have. Any seller on this site attempting to take money for this hacked up version should be required to post a warning!!!
Apparently this cut up version is the only one available in America.
Why would some idiot mutilate a movie as this on was done?
Hopefully one day the uncut version will get released.......

yes the movie came on time,but unfortunately it is an edited version which wasn't advertised before hand.i know there are other versions that are more edited.anyhow for the amount of money it cost i was hoping to get an unedited version-thanks for listening

I bought and tossed the movie . parts are edited out from what I saw before . I caution everyone not to waste their money .

This is one of the best movies ever produce for it's time. The acting by Lisa Raines, Shelly Winters, Oliver Reed is very good and the characters portrayed are hot. A great theme and story.

I watched the 2007 adaptation of Fanny Hilla couple of days ago, and though it had some issues in terms of plot, the movie itself was beautifully filmed. In this older version starring Lisa Raines in the title role, I actually enjoyed the dialogue (which is witty and funny), and the over-the-top bedroom antics, but felt the entire production was let down by the poor picture quality. The DVD I watched had extremely poor picture quality - the picture lacked sharpness and clarity, and appeared like it was lifted straight off a VHS with no attempt being made to digitally remaster it. Very disappointing, considering the story itself was entertaining and well-written, not to mention credibly acted to superior comic effect.

Having never watched the original release on VHS, I have no idea how much has been edited from this version, though I did sense some choppiness in the plot - perhaps due to bits being cut out of this release. I can't imagine why - certainly, it can't be due to censorship concerns, considering the abundant nudity throughout this movie - bare breasts compete with bare bottoms and much more! Oh well, at least it afforded me an opportunity to watch this older version and compare it to the 2007 adaptation. On the whole, I'd suggest this as a rental until a far superior version is released.

This rendering of "Fanny Hill" opts to avoid some of the more dramatic turns of events and rather pursues a tongue-in-cheek, bawdy, romping approach.
Adaptations of books almost always have to change the material in some way, and for a pleasantly ribald novel, this approach seems valid and befitting - you can look elsewhere for more faithful adaptations of the book. Lisa-Foster makes a charming Fanny and the smatterings of full-frontal nudity from her and other young beauties add the right texture and titillation to this story.
Shelly Winters and other older actors who play supporting characters play their parts in a suitably flamboyant style. This is delightful, although the picture quality suffers.

A ésta versión le pongo 4 estrellas porque no viene widescreen, pero por lo demás está bien. Viene completa (sin cortes o ediciones) y, aunque los colores no fueron mejorados, no importa, pues los que hemos buscado ésta peli sabemos que las otras versiones de dvd son fatales.
