A tender love story, a bawdy comedy and the start of a phenomenon, Confessions of a Window Cleaner is all these things, but it also happens to be a very good film too. History would rather forget it, but the reality is that most of the bad press it receives is from people watching the countless copycats that followed its success and assuming they represent the original. They don't. By focusing on the most obvious aspects of the Confessions series, these films totally miss the fact that Timothy Lea is an innocent who genuinely means well. And the gentle romance between him and Elizabeth is so moving that, every time I watch the film, I hope they will end up walking down the aisle and Timmy wouldn't be hurtling up the motorway in the back of a removal van.
