Confessions from the David Galaxy Affair (also known as The David Galaxy Affair, and for its UK re-release, Star Sex) is a 1979 British sexploitation comedy film directed by Willy Roe and starring Alan Lake, Glynn Edwards, Mary Millington, Bernie Winters, Diana Dors and Anthony Booth.[1]
The film was not part of the Confessions series of films from Columbia Pictures that began with Confessions of a Window Cleaner (1974), but it was hoped that it would benefit commercially from the similarity of title.[2]
A playboy astrologer has to prove an alibi to police for a robbery five years before.
The film was financed by businessman David Sullivan to promote the career of Millington, who was his girlfriend at the time.[3] In the event, Millington died a few weeks after the film's release.
Diana Dors performed the film's theme song over the opening titles.
The film was Sullivan's first box-office flop, being released at a period when soft porn theatrical films were losing their popularity in Britain.[4]
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "With its barely identifiable semblance of plot, a level of comic invention exemplified by having the hero interrupt his love-making by breaking wind, and a dramatic context that amounts to little but the endless offering and pouring of drinks, this erotic 'thriller' proves squalidly unwatchable."[5]
