Im not sure what I just saw!, April 29, 2002
This movie was a story about a woman who breaks up with her fiance and finds herself in an American city sleeping with many different men. She deciedes instead of doing it for free she should start charging for her services. She eventually becomes a madame and ends up in jail. This is the basis premise for the movie. There is not much else to this movie. I found it to be funny. It was not meant to be a comedy. I think it was made in the seventies. It has all sorts of cheese ball outfits. It is the perfect stereotype of a bad 1970 era movie. The style reminds me of Shaft.

Wanna have a good time?, February 8, 2010
This is a not too serious movie collection about a truly talented lady in her field.
The first of the three shows is the best without a doubt. Lynn Redgrave defines the Happy Hooker as a subtly shrewd, business woman with the ability to truly enjoy what she chooses to do. There is none of this poor girl forced to sell herself stuff. Just an, I like this & can make a good living at it portrayal.
Redgrave's acting is never over the top or too innocent, too air-headed or too harsh. The Happy Hooker gets 5 stars.
Happy Hooker goes Washington is the stinker & Joey Heatherton is the stinkee!
She plays this part as if she is giving phone sex to a thirteen year old boy. She never once displays any kind of business savvy or ability to adapt to different personalities. She acts like she is happy as on drugs. 1 star here.
Happy Hooker goes Hollywood has the best cast. Look it up my fingers are tired.
It also has Martine Beswick in the lead role. She is a two time "Bond Woman" she is in "From Russia with Love" & "Thunderball". She happily restores the understated business acumen to the role while also stepping up the sexual aspects. No complaints from me. This is probably the way most people would expect Xaviera Hollander to be portrayed & since I unfortunately have no personal knowledge of the real lady I can't argue. Adam West of Batman fame plays a movie studio executive in an unexpected manner you'll want to see. The Trilogy, OK, you should skip #2 & go from 1 to 3.
