The Pig Keeper's Daughter

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.

What is an adolescent girl that lives on a pig farm to do? Why have some sort of sexual liason with every man she encounters of course! She is not the only one busy with liasons - there are the girl that lives on the farm nearby, some annoying salesman that wants to mount anything he comes across(including a man tied and mugged), a fifteen year-old(looking like twenty-five year-old) hitchhiker, and, of course, the wife of the pigkeeper and mother of Moonbeam, the voluptuous pigkeeper's daughter. This film is really nothing more than a string of sex scenes strung together with little purpose, rhyme, or reason. The plot is so threadbare that it comes apart to nothing shortly into the film, only to be tried and saved in the last minute of the film. If you are looking for comedy, forget it as nothing is very funny. The opening number is intriguing but the music played throughout each "liason" is exactly the same and begins to get on your nerves quickly. The women are fine figures of pulchritude, bursting out of what garments they do wear(only to shed them very quickly). None of them, however, is a beautiful woman with a beautiful face, but rather a plain woman with a beautiful bust. It's not all bad. The scenes, however, are not particularly erotic and I found myself fast-forwarding through much of the film. In truth, the film is nothing more than pornographic slop dressed up in Southern, hillbilly setting.

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.

From the title, it sounds almost like this is going to be a rancid exploitation flick, but in actual fact it's a rather lighter affair. The plot (if you could really call it a plot) as you might expect, focuses on the daughter of the pig keeper and the many men that want to have sex with her. There's no actual story to it; and all the film really is, is a chance to show some sex. Thankfully, all the girls in the film are more than happy to take their clothes off and look good naked. They all have rather large breasts too and I'm sure that Russ Meyer had more than just a passing influence on the film! I can't really say it's all that erotic as a porn film; but compared to some other low budget soft-core stuff out there, this one is not badly filmed - although certain scenes are dragged out further than they have any right to be. The film is a comedy also and as such, you get a few laughs thrown in with the sex; and these mostly come from the travelling salesman subplot; it's mildly amusing. I'm a big fan of Russ Meyer films myself; although I wouldn't not put this one up anywhere Meyer's best. Still, if it's a mildly amusing sex comedy you want...you could do worse than see this one.

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
