Alvin Purple
1973, R, 87 min. Directed by Tim Burstall. Starring Graeme Blundell.
REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Mon., July 8, 2002
Alvin Purple is a salient example of the Australian "ocker" genre of the early Seventies - a group of films generally described as urban sexploitation comedies. In this film, all woman are irresistibly drawn to Alvin.
