Getting Into Heaven

Uschi Digart is Heaven, a girl wanting to be an actress. She dates a cop while her roommate Sin (former T.V star Jeannie Lynn) and her try to get a part in a movie from Mr. Salacity in this bit of late '60's cornball soft-core romp. If you can think of any really bad puns, chances are they're in this movie. The jokes are so bad, you'll be groaning. Also, like "The Toy Box" Uschi has fun with an inanimate object, but this time it's a stuffed plush tiger. The DVD from Something Weird pairs this movie with the just plain AWFUL "Angels". Fans of Uschi Digart, in all likelihood will adore this film.

When I was approached by Ed Montoro to read for this movie, I thought he was joking. I had made two other films for other directors and he asked me to come read for Bernie the Cop in "Getting Into Heaven". We shot the movie on location in Sequoia National Park, San Diego, and Beverly Hills, CA. It was shot in 9 days and I had a ball with all three girls. Using the name Scott Cameron kept me out of trouble with the people at work. Sure the film has some silly dialogue, but with Uschi Digart as the female star, who would complain. I had three major nude scenes with her and believe me, she is all woman. Don't pass up a chance to see this film. Something Weird video has chosen to release the 88 minute European version of the film.

This is one of the few movies that actually star Uschi Digard and that is a shame. Of course, she appears in countless other X-rated movies notably the Russ Meyer films but this is one of the few times she actually got to star in a film and play the main character. And she does a pretty damn good job of it too. She is definitely not shy about undressing and has a body to die for and her acting is pretty good. If she had been given a chance, I could see her as another Marilyn Monroe, a sex pot who shined especially in comedic roles. Uschi could've done the same thing had she been given a chance to strut her stuff which she is given an ample opportunity to do in this movie. The plot really is superfluous because the main point is to get the women in the film undressed as quickly - and as often - as possible. Uschi was a queen of these type of X-rated movies and that accent is so darn sexy. I wish more of Uschi's films would be released such as MIDNIGHT GRADUATE, THE MARAUDERS, LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AND HIS WIFE just to name a few.

I'm a real Uschi fan so I enjoyed the movie but was thankful for the fast forward button. Uschi is in FINE form as well as her female co-star but the plot was missing. Well I didn't get the film for the story anyway so no complaints, but no recommendations either.

If you enjoy sex 'comedies' such as Ed Wood's wretched Love Feast, here's another unfunny film about naked women simulating sex with men in boxer shorts. It could have been tolerable, but stars Uschi Digard and Jennie Lynn are simply not attractive--and Lynn wears the most eye shadow this side of Divine. Unattractive women pretending to have sex with unattractive men (one of whom bears a startling resemblance to Rick Moranis)=bad film with bad acting and bad dialogue. Perhaps I was expecting too much, but Getting Into Heaven makes its DVD partner, Angels, look like Citizen Kane in comparison. As bad as that film is, at least it has a story. You'll enjoy the extras on the DVD more than you will the features.
