What the Swedish Butler Saw is a 1975 Swedish-American erotic sex comedy film directed by Vernon P. Becker and starring Ole Søltoft, Sue Longhurst, Malou Cartwright and Diana Dors. It is known by several alternative titles including A Man with a Maid, The Groove Room and Champagnegalopp. [2] The film is loosely based on the 1908 erotic novel The Way of a Man with a Maid.
During the 3-D revival of the 1980s, the film was re-released under the title Tickled Pink, but the release did keep the Swedish Butler credit sequence intact.
The film was shot in Stereoscopic 3-D at studios in Stockholm with exteriors in Denmark.
In Victorian London, a young aristocrat, Jack Armstrong, is desperate to win the love of his beloved, the greedy Lady Alice Faversham. [3] [4] Jack buys an insane asylum to turn into a "love nest", unaware that Jack the Ripper still lives there.
It was one of a number of sex comedies starring Diana Dors. [5]
