ALVIN PURPLE (1973) is a landmark Australian comedy about the permissive seventies where poor gormless Alvin (Graeme Blundell), who is looking for a sexless seventies, finds himself an inadvertant sex symbol, gigolo and porn star!

The film took over $4 million dollars at the Australian Box Office in its first six months of release and proved that Australians were interested in seeing OZ movies on the big screen.
