Eskimo Nell (also known as The Ballad of Eskimo Nell and The Sexy Saga of Naughty Nell and Big Dick), is a 1975 British satirical comedy film directed by Martin Campbell and starring Roy Kinnear, Anna Quayle, Katy Manning, Christopher Timothy. It was produced by Stanley Long, who was mainly known for his sexploitation films. Though inspired by "The Ballad of Eskimo Nell", the film owes little to the original bawdy song and features little nudity, instead following a metafictional narrative about the various attempts to produce a movie based on "Eskimo Nell".
Long called it "my definitive statement about the sex films", maintaining it was drawn from his own experiences working in the British film industry. Several characters in the film are based on real industry figures.
