The Doctor and the Playgirl

Not much to enjoy in this would-be shocker, just another exploitation movie without the goods. Incumbent on pornographers, especially soft porn purveyors, is to whip up some thrills or diversion, and here we have none.

WIlliam McDaniels is an unsuccessful actor, who walks through this rare leading role in his sparse career. Static conversations with leading lady Ann Hutchinson drag on and on, going nowhere. Main story of quasi-prostitution, McDaniels on the hook with loan sharks and guest shots by boxers and non-celebrities -it's all filler.

Hutchinson has a British accent but doesn't play a British character, and is quite obscure -IMDb lists this as her only known credit. I watched the film as an early-career project for talented cinematographer Gayne Rescher, but his work here is unimpressive -probably given no resources or time to work some cinematic magic - a far cry from such classics he shot ranging from "A Face in the Crowd" and "Rachel, Rachel" to "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan".
