Double bill of rauchy comedies by Frankie 'Titter Ye Not' Howerd,
the outrageously camp and bawdy British comic. 'Up Pompeii' (1971)
is the feature length spin-off from the Howerd's television series
about a lazy slave living in ancient Pompeii. When a document falls
into his hands listing the names of those plotting to assassinate
Emperor Nero, he is forced to infiltrate the group. Hilarious
mishaps result. In 'Up The Chastity Belt' (1971) Lurkalot (Frankie
Howerd) is a humble serf in Custard Castle, who runs a side-line
selling chastity belts and love potions at the local market place.
He's called upon to save the day when Sir Braggart De Bombast
attempts to seize the castle and kidnap the beautiful Lobelia De
Custard.
