Private Teacher

"Private Teacher" (1983), directed by Gary Graver, attempts to explore the taboo theme of student-teacher relationships in a high school setting. While the film's subject matter may initially pique curiosity, it ultimately falls short of delivering a compelling narrative or thought-provoking commentary.

The story revolves around Mark Collins (played by Eric Edwards), a charismatic high school student who becomes infatuated with his attractive and enigmatic English teacher, Miss Anderson (portrayed by Kay Parker). As their relationship develops, the film delves into the complexities of their forbidden desires and the consequences they face.

One of the film's strengths lies in its nostalgic depiction of the 1980s era, capturing the fashion, music, and overall ambiance of the time. The cinematography, although not groundbreaking, effectively creates an atmosphere that immerses viewers in the world of the characters.

However, "Private Teacher" suffers from a lackluster script that fails to fully explore the psychological and emotional aspects of the student-teacher dynamic. The dialogue often feels forced and lacks depth, leaving the characters feeling one-dimensional and their motivations unclear.

The performances in the film are adequate, with Kay Parker delivering a commendable portrayal of Miss Anderson. However, the chemistry between the lead actors falls flat, hindering the believability of their relationship. The supporting cast, while competent, is given limited development and fails to leave a lasting impression.

Despite its shortcomings, "Private Teacher" does touch upon important themes such as power dynamics, consent, and the consequences of forbidden relationships. However, these themes are not explored with the depth and nuance they deserve, leaving the film feeling superficial and lacking in substance.

In terms of technical aspects, the film's production values are average for its time, with a soundtrack that complements the era but fails to leave a lasting impact. The pacing of the film is uneven, with certain scenes dragging on while others feel rushed, resulting in a disjointed viewing experience.

Overall, "Private Teacher" (1983) falls short of its potential to deliver a thought-provoking exploration of taboo desires. While it captures the essence of the era, the film's lackluster script, underdeveloped characters, and uneven pacing prevent it from leaving a lasting impression.

When the film started the first 4 minutes seemed like a travelogue of California, I was wondering if I got the tapes mixed up. Then I breathed a sigh of relief to see Paul Thomas in a scene with the lovely Joanna Storm and Laurie Smith. This is being spied on by Jimmy (a young Tom Byron). Jimmy's aunt (Honey Wilder) is concerned about his behavior so she hires him a private teacher (Kay Parker). I could do without the animal, robot role-playing, or the incest aspects.There's one good sex scene, between Byron and Parker, but it's not good enough to save this film.

My Grade: D+

If you were making a movie that catered to the mature woman/younger man fantasy, you could go through the whole array of performers who have appeared in feature-length adult videos and not find anyone better to cast than the fabulous Kay Parker and a youthful Tom Byron. Luckily for us somebody did the right and logical thing here.

Tom's aunt is Honey Wilder, another "mature" wonder. (In porno terms that means over 30.) She's concerned about the way her nephew is behaving, locking himself in his room and not coming out. That's because he's spying on some neighbors across the way, two stewardesses who unwind on layovers by engaging in wild sex play. They are played by Joanna Storm and Laurie Smith, another piece of inspired (and logical) casting. An eager Paul Thomas will go along with whatever they want, including wearing a bunny suit! This does come off before any sex scene begins, be assured.

The humor here is on the loony side. It's not classic Marx Brothers, but what do you really expect? An example: Auntie turns on the TV to find that a documentary about sex is showing. Eric Edwards is a literal talking head--and body--that comes right out of the set and illustrates hands-on what he's been talking about. It's so ridiculous you can't help but be amused.

Honey hires a private tutor for her boy in hopes of bringing him out of his shell. When she arrives, Kay Parker contributes any seriousness this movie might have. She quotes Shakespeare and speaks of philosophy, and soon any trace of shyness or social awkwardness that Tom had vanishes. Their love scene is a highlight, prime rewind material.

Janey Robbins is also a welcome presence here, as a friend of Honey's who has her own eye on sonny. This is a fun and sexy production without any weak links in the cast, and that's not a bad deal.

Worth seeing when you feel bore.This movie is every young man fantasy.To begin this movie was amazing funny dialog,cool story and I like all of the characters .Loved honey wilder as well.Jimmy just a lucky young man When Marsha try to convince Diane to join the fun with her nephew .Jimmy told Diane he always want it.And Diane finally concedes "Might as well keep it in the family" This movie never bored me at any point.All the Actors plays their role well and the action scenes are well placed and interesting.This is a great movie. I can'y say more,don't listen to anybody. go see this.

My evaluation 9 of 10 :Worth seeing

Does anybody else like this actress Janey Robbins? In her only scene in this film, she is Marsha, Aunt Diane's (Honey Wilder) friend. Marsha and Aunt Diane find Jimmy (Tom Byron), Aunt Diane's nephew asleep with his cock out after he's just had a sex session with two beauties. Marsha thinks that she should put Jimmy's cock back in his pants to avoid him embarrassment when he wakes up. Marsha has difficulty putting Jimmy's cock back in his pants as it's too big and hard and thinks that by licking it, it will slide back into his pants. Marsha's cock licking then turns into a full blow job to Aunt Diane's objections in case Jimmy wakes up. But in true porn fashion Jimmy wakes up to catch Marsha sucking on his cock. Both Jimmy and Marsha then persuade Aunt Diane to join in, with Jimmy saying he always fancied her. This scene along with Kay Parker walking in on Jimmy while his jerking still has such a dirty feel even today.
