Critical reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "What the makers clearly had in mind was Carry On Tom Jones [1963]."[3]
Time Out wrote, "Richardson's 18th century classic Pamela clearly dredged up for its bawdy possibilities ... About all the film has in common with the original is a notable lack of humour."[4]
