Plot

Lord Wingate, on probation after being acquitted on fraud charges, needs money, so he starts a school to train young women in the arts of gold-digging in exchange for a cut of the take. The alcoholic widow the Duchess of Burwash is a teacher, and an aged Cockney is the fitness instructor. The first group of pupils are on probation from Holloway Prison, but rich parents soon begin to enroll their daughters under the impression the school is a finishing school. Lord Wingate is found guilty on new charges, but the judge decides to try the business idea himself.^[5]^[6]

Production

The film was shot on location in Kent, Sussex and London, England.^{[citation needed]}

The original film includes topless scenes and glimpses of full nudity. Alternative nude versions of some scenes were shot for release in Japan.^[6]

Reception

Box office

In France School for Sex had 72,000 admissions in its opening week.^[1] In the United States, it ran on Broadway for two years.^[4]

Critical reception

Monthly Film Bulletin said "As its title indicates, Peter Walker's latest piece of titillatory entertainment is largely a peg on which to hang an assortment of bikinis and diminutive undergarments. But after a relatively lively start, this nonsensical and determinedly risqué farce plods humourlessly on its way with leaden dialogue, wooden acting and rough sound recording."^[7]

Walker himself regretted saving money by writing the script himself and called it his worst film,^[6] referring to it in 2005 as a "terrible film".^[3]
