Englishwomen band together when they learn that the public bathhouse they frequent for relaxation will be closed down.

Patrick Gibbs

Daily Telegraph (UK)

The late Joseph Losey made several fine films... but no successful comedies, and it could hardly be expected he would make much of his last film Steaming.

On film, Steaming lacks the impact it had on stage. The ebullience and sheer fun of the original have mostly disappeared

Steaming enjoyed a long run on the London stage but did less well here. It will be a pity if the movie suffers a similar fate.
