''Alvin Purple'' is an 1973 Australian comedy film starring Graeme Blundell, written by Alan Hopgood and directed by Tim Burstall. It received largely negative reviews from local film critics. Despite this it was a major hit with Australian audiences. ''Alvin Purple'' became the most commercially successful Australian film released to that time, breaking the box office record set by Michael Powell's pioneering Anglo-Australian comedy feature ''They're a Weird Mob'' (1966). The score and title theme were composed by iconic Australian singer-songwriter Brian Cadd. A 1974 film sequel ''Alvin Rides Again'' toned-down the sex scenes and nudity, adding more camp comedy. This was followed by a 1976 Australian Broadcasting Commission situation comedy television series titled ''Alvin Purple''. Blundell reprised the title role in both, as well as in the 1984 movie ''Melvin, Son of Alvin''. ==Story== The film is a sex-farce which follows the misadventures of a naïve young Melbourne man Alvin Purple, whom women find irresistible. Working in door to door sales, Alvin (unsuccessfully) tries to resist legions of women who want him. Alvin is so worn-out he seeks psychiatric help to solve his problems. His psychiatrist is, of course, a woman. Alvin ultimately falls in love with the one girl who doesn't throw herself at him. She becomes a nun, and Alvin ends up a gardener in the convent's gardens. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alvin Purple」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
