Confessions of a Driving Instructor
Directed by Norman Cohen
Produced by Columbia Pictures Corporation
A lighthearted, raunchy 1970s sex comedy built on slapstick misadventure and cheeky sexual humor rather than plot or character depth.
Timothy Lea and his brother-in-law Sidney decide upon opening a driving school as their latest get-rich-quick scheme. Though he sincerely wants to teach, young Timmy finds that his female students are far more interested in keeping their eyes on him than on the road.
