I should have offered a bit more notice. But for those of us living in the UK, a film entitled Sweet Charity is going to be starting in a few minutes.
It stars Shirley Maclaine and John McMartin and was made in 1969. And it is about an escort trying to hide her profession from a man she has fallen in love with, for fear of losing him.
First I’m amazed that escorts existed in 1969. I guess I want to see if they are just interchanging the terms prostitute with escort. An escort goes out, is wined and dined, and receives screened guests. And that kind of set up thrives with a slick communication machine which I doubt existed 40 years ago. Cynthia Payne used to bury her phone under loads of cushions when she had her place near Portland Square (I believe it was.). Because it rang so insistently that she didn’t want it arousing the suspicions of her more genteel neighbours.
Today, I can just press a button, and the phone goes to silent. I’ve also got email and a web site. Everything combines creates a discreet way of going about the world’s oldest profession.
Secondly, there’s the age old dilemma. When does one tell? Should one tell? If he stops loving you because he’s found out you’re an escort, did he ever really love you in the first place? Is he going to mouth off to the whole world because he is so hurt and the whole world does, after all, revolve around his sad little psyche. And while he could handle the idea of faceless free of charge one night stands, he can’t handle the idea of pricey booty. Twisted logic, if you ask me.
Each lady, real or fictional, handles this in her own way. Belle did her best in Secret Diary of a Call Girl (and look where that got her). Be interesting to see how Shirley’s character handles it. To tell or not to tell is always a good plot.
If you live in the UK, and don’t fancy braving the rains (it is a foul day today), then Sweet Charity will be on ITV1. In fact, it started at13:05 hours. But you can still get it on ITV catchup if you miss it!
