The Forbidden

Done in 1966 by Frost and narrated by Bob Cresse, it's another "Hey naked girls" picture that were rare in 1966. It is not a documentary. It is not a reality show. It's nothing but an excuse to film and display nude girls. If you can place yourself back in 1966 it's fine. If you project 2020 mores on this film, you won't enjoy it.

Now I have seen it all. A documentary about sex entertainment. Not just from the US but around the world. That is called getting your rocks on. At least the nudity of the documentary was subtle. Nothing hardcore. Of course, Europe would show more than the US. The only common ground is the travel entertainment. They go to one small town and to another. Mostly, the quiet towns, not the big cities.

This could possibly pass as porn. Although there's no show of sexual interaction of the kinky kind. This kind of sexy montage is an unusual romp for late night viewing. Everyone will have their own say.

2 out of 5.

I started watching then I stopped. Make a documentary out of that.

This "creation" defies classification. Despite its claims, it's NOT a documentary - not even a mockumentary. It's not a comedy, and it's definitely not a movie. It seems that these seeming devotees who refer to it as "Mondo" are actually getting their terms confused - it's more "Gonzo."

I can only think that it might have been a piece of military propaganda of the time; the level of intellect it appears to be aimed at would be appropriate.

Give it a miss if you value your time and your sanity.
