The Pig Keeper's Daughter

Youngsters fumbling and frolicking in a farmyard setting with natural light and an OK element of humour give this movie a great start BUT the trading sex for perfume scene with the exceptionally plain and ugly breasted pig keeper's wife almost drops this one right in the sh**. That it recovers is due to a return to outside shooting and fun and games with the daughter culminating in a fine outdoor bath scene and splendid end. These Novak produced films of the seventies seem to have been shot with full penetrative sex and then angled and edited to reduce impact to acceptable levels. Certainly the couples seem keen enough and odd glimpses indicate reasonable levels of excitement!

When Lyndon Baines Johnson launched his War On Poverty in the 1960s, he sought to stamp out the vibrant & vital culture depicted in this 1975 rural-romantic masterwork, PIGKEEPER'S DAUGHTER.

The Swiners were born to be pigkeepers, and their blooming daughter Moonbeam was born to be a piglovin' princess. Alone with her cracker thoughts, voluptuous Moonbeam fantasizes about her Prince Charming, substituting her prize porker, Lord Hamilton, for the old fairy tale's feckless frog. Lord Hamilton, in his turn, fairly wallows in his role as a kept creature, true blue to Moonbeam through every twist and turn of this cinematic hayride. Meanwhile, Mrs. Swiner gets pitched by a traveling salesman, and Little Patty, the girl next door, learns the hard facts of life from hillbilly stud Jasper. Get the picture?

I found this DVD in the "Learning" category at Borders Books, Music & Video. May you be so lucky.

I won't lie to you. This is not one of the finest movies ever made; but, it is the finest sex movie ever to be based around a swineherdress. If you find a better one, I'd like to see it.

The movie revolves around the pig-keeper's daughter, Moonbeam. She has sex a lot. Her cousin doesn't, but is easily talked into losing her virginity. Lots of voluptuous skin and convincing orgasms.

WARNING: Fast forward through the portion of the film with Moonbeam's mother unless you are into harpy-sex.

Sassy Sue, a bestiality-based romp, is a better movie than P.D. and is on the same Something Weird DVD.

Hillbilly Mr. and Mrs. Swiner plan to marry their daughter Moonbeam (Terry Gibson in sadly her only film role) off, when along comes a traveling salesman in this backwoods sexploitation film from the early '70's. Produced by the extremely prolific Harry Novak and Directed by Bethel Buckalew (the only previous film of his I saw was the atrocious "Below The Belt", so i went into watching this one a bit hesitantly). The plot, be that as it may, is of course strictly secondary, almost non-existent, to the soft-core sex scenes. And man oh man, what hard soft-core scenes there are. If one were to add a shot here and there, BAM hardcore on the spot. I wasn't expecting much at all, so I was pleasantly surprised when I found myself enjoying the film, corny jokes, bad acting, abrupt ending and all. Just one question, who the hell was the actress who played the huge-breasted hitchhiking nymph??

Eye Candy: Peggy Church, Terry Gibson, that aforementioned unknown actress & Gina Paluzzi show all

My Grade: C+

The Pig Keeper's Daughter (1972) is a wild ride back to the golden age of 70s sex comedies. This film is unapologetic, shameless, and undeniably entertaining. With a thin storyline connecting a series of raunchy encounters, it's a wonder how this film ever made it past the barnyard!

Director Bethel Buckalew delivers a treat for fans of soft-core pornography and comedy alike. The film follows Moonbeam, the pig keeper's daughter, who loves sex and gets herself into all sorts of trouble because of it. Along with her cousin, who she convinces to lose her virginity, they embark on a series of voluptuous and erotic adventures that will keep you both laughing and blushing.

While the plot is virtually non-existent, the extended softcore segments are sure to please those looking for a bit of fun. With some impressive cinematography, including wide-angle shots and great close-ups, this film offers a unique and intriguing take on the sex comedy. However, be prepared for some less-than-glamorous moments, including a brief shot of Jasper's feces-covered posterior-a true test of any viewer's dedication to the craft.

The Pig Keeper's Daughter is a cheesy, erotic, and humorous adventure that, despite its lack of a compelling narrative, will keep you entertained. It's a film that, although not a masterpiece, certainly delivers on its promise of a good time.

So, if you're looking for a laugh, some raunchy fun, and an insight into the golden age of sex comedies, then this film is worth a watch. Just be prepared for a whole lot of oink oink!
