In 1969, a then 24-year-old Helen Mirren starred in Age Of Consent . The film has been newly restored and is now streaming on Amazon Prime. Here's what you're missing.

The future Queen begins this film as Her Royal Shyness.

If hairy pits are your kink, you would have loved Australia in 1938.

Her encounter with these underwater melons is what we in the business call foreshadowing.

Eat your heart out, Jacqueline Bisset.

Quick, someone remind her that she forgot her scuba gear!

Helen Mirren does all of her own stunts!

She's going to put these in her yearbook and label them "BEACH WEEK."

That's a great pose, but something's not quite right...

Great minds think alike! I wonder what happened to that shirt...

Nothing gets in the way of great art, especially not a flimsy purple t-shirt.

Spoiler alert: She got the shirt back.

"Nightswimming / Deserves a quiet night..."

Back in 1969, this slight movie was apparently considered controversial and needed trims to be shown in polite cinema company. Today? If you wanted to find controversy, it wouldn’t be for the fairly tame nudity. This film verges on the long-gone genre of “naughty movies” but does have pretensions towards classiness. Tortured artist, reconnecting with his true nature, inner self, muse, ah….casting off the shackles of convention. Seen today with today’s sensibilities, there’s also a tinge of Lolita-ing here, and what some would call an awkward pass and others will label an attempted rape. Back in 1969, maybe this sort of thing was unexceptional. For me, "Age of Consent" comes off mostly as a kind of older guys’ wish fulfillment fantasy. In which James Mason, a wannabe Gauguin, runs off to the South Seas, or maybe to North Australia, lives like a beachcomber (except for having a steady supply of supplies and liquor from the mainland) and finds his muse in an innocent island nymph. Or, in this case, Helen Mirren as manic pixie wild child. Kind of strange to see distinguished British big time important actor James Mason doing a sort of pre-Hugh Jackman; a bearded, bare chested (rather too bare chested; he doesn’t appear to have worked out much for this role) artistic type trying to sound Australian. Jackman comes by his Oz accent naturally; James Mason seems to drift between Blighty and Oz from scene to scene. Right off the bat, Mason gets to do a semi-nude bedroom scene with an anonymous Australian woman, an inexplicable bit that’s either more middle aged wish fulfillment or maybe a way of letting us know that this famous artist, unlike so many others, isn’t gay. Which might be important since for the duration of the movie, Mason’s character will be either oblivious or hostile to the charms of nubile and somewhat less-nubile available women. So, James Mason doesn’t convince me as either a successful but blocked artist or as an Australian. But I’ve never been Down Under, so what do I know? At the risk of being crass, and I have never resisted the temptation to be crass, my only reason to check out “Age of Consent” is Helen Mirren. Honestly, if someone had shown me a headshot from this movie and then told me that this is “The Queen”, I very much doubt I’d have recognized her. Here, she’s in her twenties and playing a seventeen year-old. Again, not convincing me. She doesn’t have the bloom of youth on her. Maybe it’s that pitiless Australian sun? Anyway, despite her advanced years in “Age of Consent”, I have to say she looks plenty good in her fleeting undressed shots. Which are photographed in that odd manner of the conventional British studio pictures , when old line directors wanted to see what they could get away, while at the same time that they were really constrained in what they could get away with. If it’s a brief flash of topless, maybe they could sneak it by. Bum shots in motion? Probably get past the censors. Full frontal? Only suggested in a tenth of a second of hastily covering up. That sort of thing. Miss Mirren affirms her membership in the Nice Backsies Club, and a few glimpses of her up top are perfectly well performed. She also has some lines in the script. As a sunburnt sea nymph, she looks fine. Mirren acts….adequately. We’re not talking the Royal Shakespeare Company here. This is a lightweight role made more so with silly lines to read. Oh, and if you’re into unshaved legs, check out Mirren’s in her nude bedroom scene. Downright furry. Which makes sense. A snorkeling chicken-stealing child of nature would not waste her time shaving her legs while living outdoors on a semi-desert island. Semi-desert in that there’re a lot of colorful local characters coming and going. Most of them are more amusing and entertaining that the stolid Mason, who doesn’t seem to know if he’s in a comedy or drama or what. Of course, the plot, such as there is, also meanders from the comic side to the other. Character actors come and go constantly. We’ve got an inept cop, a randy next door neighbor, a studly barely dressed Australian whose attempt at maybe raping Mirren seems to be laughed off rather easily, by today’s standards at least. He shows up later to be seen as a not that bad bloke, just overenthusiastic. Kinda creepy. And there’s Mirren’s terrible grandmother, whose character causes another strange diversion for the lighthearted story. And again, is dismissed offhandedly. The soundtrack is seriously dreadful. Like music bought by the yard and tossed in wherever there was a blank spot. Tootling flutes and strummed guitars. Think inexpensive travelogue or soft core “naughty” movie of the 1960’s. There’s even an unbelievably awful song over the credits. Laughably bad, like Anthony Newley bad. Simultaneously smarmy and inept. The photography also looks odd by today’s standards; the color is lurid, oversaturated. I assume that’s intentional. Kind of like overcorrected Technicolor, erring on the side of More Color! And the framing and editing? 1969 was a big year in movies. “Easy Rider”. “Midnight Cowboy”. “Butch Cassidy”. “The Wild Bunch”. “Medium Cool”. Everything from “Alice’s Restaurant” to “Z”. Compared to any of the new wave of filmmakers, “Age of Consent” looks like something from an earlier age. Which it was. As a mark of that earlier age, James Mason’s painter is shown to be a big success as an artist because his pictures are selling for five thousand dollars. I guess that was more money in ’6
