Adam and 6 Eves

This is the best nudie cutie I have ever seen.

The genre being what it is, the hook is beautiful nearly-naked women. This film delivers. Oh boy does it deliver. The topless women show up at about the five-minute mark, and remain on screen for the rest of the film. There isn't a minute that goes by without bare breasts, and these women are absolutely gorgeous. I mean, WOW. They'd be right at home on the pages of Perfect 10 or Page 3.

But flesh isn't all the film has to offer. The uncredited actor who provides the voice of the donkey, who narrates the film, gives a perfect performance. The writing is very clever. A few examples:

"Hunting for buried treasure out here made about as much sense and telling a hair-raising story to a bald-headed man."

"I don't know who designed their outfits, but he should have been put in charge of government spending."

"I once knew a donkey who corrected all of his faults and made a perfect ass out of himself."

"I wouldn't say she was a gossip, but her mouth was open so much she got sunburned on her tongue."

These are typical of the kind and quality of jokes told throughout the film. In fact, if your family has a liberal attitude about the sight of bare breasts (and occasionally buttocks), this is a great film for kids as well as adults, because these jokes can be appreciated by kids of all ages, and there is nothing (besides the nudity, depending on your values) that is inappropriate for children. This is simply a delightful film.

Finally I must comment on the musical score, which runs throughout the film. It is really quite lovely.

Always looking for vintage horror, fantasy and sci-fi movies I accidentally stumbled upon Adam and 6 Eves.

A gold digger is roaming through the desert and is so thirsty and exhausted he starts hallucinating. Not only is there suddenly a pond but it is surrounded with beautiful topless women. They move in delicate and seductive ways but the gold digger is only interested in the hidden treasure he was looking for.

If you want to know what the term 'male gaze' is all about, you just have to look at the camera work that centres around the actresses. But in the end it is just like looking at an aquarium for 60 minutes.

The star of the movie is the talking donkey who tells the story, filled with double-entendres and spicy humour. A bit like the 'Carry On' movies or, somewhat more recent, the Allo Allo TV-series.

The donkey is the reason why I stayed awake until the end. This movie urgently asks for a remake, preferably by Walt Disney (yeah, that's sarcasm).
