For its day, a remarkably hard-hitting exposé of street prostitution that pulls few punches in depicting the horrible manner in which gullible girls are enticed into a pimp's web. John Derek was a poor actor but is credibly dashing enough to portray how a girl might be led astray by him.

It's a British crime drama with film noir shadings. Plot finds Vitale as the innocent girl who upon visiting London falls in love with the shifty Tony Giani (Derek). Before you can say "vice girls" she finds herself facing up to the harsh realities of the Giani... read the rest.
A British crime thriller that uses its tiny budget to its advantage (its opening credits appear over a sewer grate), John Chaffey’s The Flesh Is Weak is rough and sleazy, just like its main character, a charming and self-centered pimp named Tony Giani, played quite naturally by the American John Derek.
Based on the real-life activities of London’s Messina gang, The Flesh is Weak tells the story of a decent girl who is inveigled by a family of pimps into a life of prostitution. Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
