The Pig Keeper's Daughter

One of my fellow reviewers around here concluded his user-comment by stating "You can find something better to do with this part of your life". Well, no argument there, you can indeed … But then of course, you'd miss out on one of the most joyful, undemanding and shamelessly entertaining American sex-comedies of the 70's. "The Pigkeeper's Daughter" offers a series of silly sex clips connected through an ultra-thin storyline. High up in hillbilly country, the voluptuous wife of pig keeper Swiner worries about the future of their daughter Moonbeam. The girl's already 19 years old and, God forbid, she hasn't found a husband yet! Local boys, like 'stud'' Jasper, frequently pass by to take advantage of willing Moonbeam's luscious body, but they clearly don't have the intention to marry her. Parallel with the steamy adventures on the pig farm, we follow the journey of a traveling salesman. He sings a song about how easy it is to rip off country folks, but it is in fact he who constantly gets fooled. He loses all his money and dignity to a 15-year-old hitchhiker, the pig keeper's wife and eventually Moonbeam herself. "The Pig Keeper's Daughter" is fairly reminiscent to a Russ Meyer movie, but with even less of a plot. All the female cast members have at least a DD-cup size and they're rather open-minded (that is quite an understatement) about their sexualities. The men, on the other hand, are filthier than the pigs wandering around the farm and merely just looking for someone to feast their lusts on. All ladies go full frontal, naturally, but also get prepared to see a lot of hairy and unappealing naked male flesh. Hey, just be glad that the pig keeper, Mr. Swines, keeps his beer-stained shirt and trousers on at all times. The yokel dialogs and accents are extremely amusing, some of the gags are incredibly tasteless and misfit (for example, the salesman encountering a tied up guy) and therefore all the more hilarious and the women's casting clearly just happened based on their chest measurements. What's there to complain about?

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.

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+

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.

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.
