Lavish production mounted for silly slapstick sex comedy
These vintage Zodiac Sign titled Danish porn features have a peculiar charm about them, but that can't hide the fact of dumb, filler entertainment on this Gemini edition. Yes, the silly story line revolves around twins.
I vaguely recall back in the day, notably in the case of such movies I attended like Bedroom Mazurka and Without a Stitch (latter quite memorably shown at a local Northern Ohio drive-in theater with English subtitles, pretty rare) that Danish porn both softcore and hardcore seemed to inhabit an entirely different universe than our domestic variety. Largely due to local mores, what was considered a "family film" in Scandinavia would be deemed pornographic or "Adult" here in the States.
Such is the case, as in between laborious slapstick running around and dumb gags, plus endless female toplessness and nudity for eye candy in the '30s set story, there are the briefest of XXX content in the form of blow-jobs or intercourse, often directed (with speeded-up footage a la "A Clockwork Orange"'s famous William Tell Overture sex scene) for comic effect. Simply not enough porn content to satisfy an Adult Cinema fan then or now.
Ole Soltoft is up to his usual tricks playing the lead role of a record label executive out to sign a blonde singer, but kidnapped and replaced by a substitute, his twin brother. The girls are pretty though none of them a knockout and the sex scenes are not sexy. Director Werner Hedmann lingers a couple of times on close-up blow jobs featuring very long cocks, but otherwise is skimpy on the old in & out.
Most peculiar here is the inclusion of a relatively lavish production number (dance routine) right out of a Technicolor Hollywood musical, plus the attractive costumes, neither of which is usual or even appreciated in the porn world. Perhaps the same Kool Aid drunk in Chatsworth back in the days of "Blonde Ambition" and other Adult would- be epics was also being served in rotten old Denmark.
