Deep End (1971)

Directed by Jerzy Skolimowski
My rating: 3.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Paramount, Turner Classic Movies)

John Moulder-Brown is a 15-year-old dropout who gets a job as an attendant at a public bath house. Luckily for him, beautiful Jane Asher also works there. He soon learns to please the patrons at the bath house for tips, including and old and fat Diana Dors. Inevitably, he falls in love with Asher, and ends up stalking her both at and away from work. This leads him into the steamy psychedelic underworld of 1970 London. A dark, disturbing tale of sex and obsession, with an excellent soundtrack by Cat Stevens and Can.
