Up The Chastity Belt - Synopsis

Synopsis

Howerd played dual roles as King Richard the Lionheart and cowardly peasant Lurkalot (his character in Up Pompeii was the slave Lurcio). The plot served as an excuse to serve up the usual collection of puns and double entendres that characterized most British film comedy in the 1970s, but did feature Eartha Kitt singing "Oh for a Knight for My Nights" and Hugh Paddick (of Julian and Sandy fame in the Round the Horne BBC radio series) as a notable Robin Hood, leader of a band of men who were gay rather than merry.
