My Tale Is Hot

My Tale Is Hot (1964)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

Strange but entertaining nudie cutie has Lucifer (Max Gardens) noticing that Ben-Hur Over (Jack Little) is a faithful man. He refuses to cheat on his wife so Lucifer pays him a visit with a wide range of beautiful women to try and make him crack.

MY TALE IS HOT was released by Something Weird Video who were of course the perfect company for this type of film. If you're looking for some hard-hitting drama that touches upon deep and haunting social issues then you'll want to stay away from this film. If you're looking for a cheap and fun way to kill a hour then this is certainly a good place to start.

I'm really not a big fan of the nudie cutie genre because outside the nudity they rarely offer anything. There aren't any plots or anything else that makes them worth viewing today but that's not really the case here. There are a lot of small little stories wrapped around the relationship between this man and Lucifer. There's a lot of back-and-forth dialogue between the two and I must admit that I thought it was quite funny. The look of Lucifer was cheap to say the least as were the sets but that just adds to the charm.

Both Gardens and Little were good in their parts and there's no question that the film offers up a large number of cute and naked ladies. MY TALE IS HOT isn't a masterpiece but it's certainly entertaining for the genre.

I recently got the DVD "Satanis/Sinthia" from Netflix--a particularly cheesy and not especially good collection of super-low budget films about the Devil. One is a documentary about the Church of Satan and the other is a sex film that I skipped--it just wasn't interesting and its theme of incest was just creepy. Well, along with these full-length films, they included a few shorts--all of dubious quality.

This particular film is NOT the same as the one reviewed by others--it is a shortened version that only used one of the stripper segments and was basically an abbreviated version. It consists of a goofy looking guy sitting down to watch the "Walt Disley Show" but instead, the Devil shows up and puts a stripper on TV. The woman is extremely buxom and wiggles amazingly, but this also goes on too long. And, in the end, the guy is mad because Satan had the nerve to preempt "Walt Disley". It's mildly funny and mildly pornographic and pretty forgettable--hence it was a extra.
