The Pig Keeper's Daughter

The Pig Keeper's Daughter (1972) is a wild ride back to the golden age of 70s sex comedies. This film is unapologetic, shameless, and undeniably entertaining. With a thin storyline connecting a series of raunchy encounters, it's a wonder how this film ever made it past the barnyard!

Director Bethel Buckalew delivers a treat for fans of soft-core pornography and comedy alike. The film follows Moonbeam, the pig keeper's daughter, who loves sex and gets herself into all sorts of trouble because of it. Along with her cousin, who she convinces to lose her virginity, they embark on a series of voluptuous and erotic adventures that will keep you both laughing and blushing.

While the plot is virtually non-existent, the extended softcore segments are sure to please those looking for a bit of fun. With some impressive cinematography, including wide-angle shots and great close-ups, this film offers a unique and intriguing take on the sex comedy. However, be prepared for some less-than-glamorous moments, including a brief shot of Jasper's feces-covered posterior-a true test of any viewer's dedication to the craft.

The Pig Keeper's Daughter is a cheesy, erotic, and humorous adventure that, despite its lack of a compelling narrative, will keep you entertained. It's a film that, although not a masterpiece, certainly delivers on its promise of a good time.

So, if you're looking for a laugh, some raunchy fun, and an insight into the golden age of sex comedies, then this film is worth a watch. Just be prepared for a whole lot of oink oink!

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

My Grade: C+

This is a light comedy with fairly explicit nude scenes, one of my favorite formats. Most porn is unfeeling and mechanical. This shows kissing, undressing, fondling and everything but the cigar. The actors are attractive (the ladies) and seem to react as actual human beings might under certain circumstances.

Whatever it says about me, I love this movie. Could not find it in the major movie retailers for a reasonable price. I bought it from a private source you can find on google.

Enjoy if this is your cup of tea. If not, don't judge me. Just move on to something important in life.

Youngsters fumbling and frolicking in a farmyard setting with natural light and an OK element of humour give this movie a great start BUT the trading sex for perfume scene with the exceptionally plain and ugly breasted pig keeper's wife almost drops this one right in the sh**. That it recovers is due to a return to outside shooting and fun and games with the daughter culminating in a fine outdoor bath scene and splendid end. These Novak produced films of the seventies seem to have been shot with full penetrative sex and then angled and edited to reduce impact to acceptable levels. Certainly the couples seem keen enough and odd glimpses indicate reasonable levels of excitement!
