Blue Jeans

The stunning Gloria Guida is Daniela, a young prostitute who goes by the name of "Blue Jeans." She wears booty shorts with verve and is arrested at the beginning of the film which leads her to come up with a story of a dead mother and father who has abandoned her.

The police believe her tale and bring in a man who is told that her name matches his and that he must be her daddy.

It is off to a castle that he is restoring and let the fireworks begin. His live-in girlfriend is none to pleased with his supposed "daughter" sauntering around the place in sexy attire.

Miss Guida sheds her clothes on numerous occasions and she is simply breathtaking.

The story contains some decent humor and I liked the ending. A solid 7/10.

A lot of foreign films are needed to take advantage of. They are a little more extreme in the sex appeal,but they can have good taste. In "Blue Jeans", Gloria Guida has started a trend that got Catherine Bach and others actresses to follow. The skimpy short shorts. Guida plays Daniela "Blue Jeans" Anselemi, a young street-walker who was involved in a trick cons her way to be the daughter of a restoration worker. She falls for him, upsetting the girlfriend. Meets Sergio, a drifter. They tried to work up the biggest scheme of all. But he has other plans. So Blue Jeans, uses her wiles and wits to get her way. There's plenty of sexual energy in the film. Lots of great scenery. At least it's not in Rome. Great for adults. Not too trashy in my view. Gloria Guida gives it her all in this film. A masterpiece. 3 out of 5 stars

Gloria Guida plays a teenage streetwalker nicknamed "Blue Jeans" because of the short-shorts(what's left of 'em anyway)that she always wears. After she is picked up on prostitution charge by the police, she claims to be the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy local artist--even though he denies it--and is sent to live with him until he is able to legally disavow his relationship to her. Much (alleged)hilarity ensues as she wanders around the house naked, antagonizes his live-in girlfriend, and disrupts his society parties. But then the movie takes a serious turn when her pimp boyfriend shows up and a murder plot is hatched.

Guida, a former Miss Teenage Italy, appeared in any number of frothy Italian sex comedies in the mid-to-late 1970's ( i.e. "La Ragazzina, "La Liceale")and also a number of pot-boiler melodramas that were somewhat similar to, but mostly lacked the style of, Italian gialli (i.e. "So Young, So Lovely, So Vicious", "Perfect Crime"). This movie manages to combine both of these with a genuinely comical plot and a darker, more serious subplot. In that respect it's somewhat similar to Guida's most famous movie Ferdinand DeLeo's "Being Twenty", but it's not really a patch on that one. Guida was not really a great actress, but that was hardly the point--she looks good both in and out of her short-shorts (she gives a cheeky performance in more ways than one). She was often cast in these Lolita-type roles, even though she was probably too voluptuous to be believable as a seventeen-year-old when she WAS a seventeen-year-old (several years before this movie was made). There is also the added perversity of the incest angle: Is the man really her father? Is she going to have sex with him anyway? If you have seen any of these 70's Italian sex comedies you can probably guess the answer, but rest assured it's NOT the most perverse possible permutation.

The dubbing is awful. The title song is wretched. The actor playing the father is decent, and his "older" girlfriend is a pretty good side-dish to Guida, but the "pimp" role is laughably filled by an Italian pretty-boy who is about as un-threatening as they come. The movie is not very funny,on one hand, and pretty damn hard to take seriously, on the other. It really only has the delectable Gloria Guida to recommend it-- but, you know, that just might be enough.
