The Night of the Spanish Fly

Well ... that is what this is about ... so no pun intended. The movie starts in a car ... with some people listening to a radio station ... that lets us know that there is something .... going on ... something that can only be explained by hot dogs (sausages for everyone), that contain something in them, that makes people horny ... apparently it makes everyone who eats them willing participants in quite the horny interactions.

As you can guess this is quite vivid and contains a lot of "extreme" nudity. The voice over is kind of fun - though some may find it annoying. I reckon beauty standards may have changed, I will not tell you, you have to like what you see here ... up to you. But the humor is quite exceptional ... imho that is.

Aptly titled, this NYC film concerns an epidemic of aphrodisiac accidentally been added to the Brooklyn Go-Go Wieners product. It's about as interesting as a salmonella outbreak.

Tying together the disparate episodes of horny folks humping is a couple driving around town in their car listening to radio broadcasts about the situation. Even Orson Welles would have trouble making that device scintillating.

Segments include a housewife accosting the delivery boy; the unattractive Pachuco Sisters (hardlyh a household name 40 years on) accosting a guy off the street; married couple The Burkes curing their constant bickering by eating the tainted hot dogs; college freshman Sandy getting down with her professor (Jeffrey Hurst); cute Josephine the plumber seducing her client Sam; and home cosmetics saleslady Melissa (Jennifer Jordan) trysting with fashion designer Jordan.

That's the entire program, hardly better than a selection of loops given that most of the action is shot MOS.

The Night of the Spanish Fly, helmed by director Bob Mason, is a saucy, salacious affair that serves up a sizzling blend of comedy and erotica. It's a wild ride through the streets of New York City, where a single bite of a tainted hot dog sends folks on a lustful frenzy. With a runtime of just 73 minutes, this film is a quick, steamy romp that delivers on its promise of wild and wanton lovemaking.

The premise is delightfully absurd: a shipment of Go-Go Wieners accidentally contaminated with Spanish Fly sets off a chain reaction of uncontrollable desire across the city. As the infected wieners make their way into the hands (and mouths) of unsuspecting New Yorkers, the streets become a hotbed of passionate encounters. The film wastes no time in diving into the action, with a steady stream of explicit scenes that vary in creativity and intensity.

One standout sequence involves the sultry Jennifer Jordan, who embodies a woman consumed by desire. In a dimly lit room, she moves with fluid grace, her body a canvas of shadow and light. Her eyes, heavy with lust, fixate on her partner with an intensity that borders on predatory. With each touch and caress, she surrenders to the aphrodisiac's power, her movements becoming wilder and more uninhibited, until she collapses in a state of satiated ecstasy.

While the premise is intriguing, the execution falls flat at times. The narrative structure feels disjointed, with the story jumping between various characters and their respective encounters. A narrator, sounding like Rod Serling, attempts to tie the episodes together, but the transitions often feel abrupt and jarring. The acting is serviceable, though it takes a backseat to the explicit content.

The film has a certain campy charm that might appeal to fans of 70s erotica. The use of New York City as a backdrop adds an element of grittiness and urban energy to the otherwise outrageous premise. However, the repetitive nature of the scenes and the thin plot may leave viewers craving more substance to accompany the style.

In conclusion, The Night of the Spanish Fly is a film that delivers on its promise of erotic entertainment. While it may not be a masterpiece of storytelling, it offers a fun, frivolous journey into the heart of a city consumed by desire. For viewers seeking a light-hearted, lustful adventure, this film provides a tasty, if somewhat forgettable, bite.
