Getting Into Heaven (1970)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Mildly entertaining romp gets the added bonus of having Uschi Digard playing the lead instead of being in the background of a supporting player. In the film she plays Heaven, a young woman who heads to Hollywood to become a star. Once there she moves in with her friend Sin (Jennie Lynn) and soon the two have an audition with a producer named Salacity (Miles White). That's pretty much the only "plot" here as we get several sex scenes, lot of nudity and if you're a fan of Digard you're going to have a lot of fun with this one. As I read more and more about Digard it appears she didn't have too many chances of playing the lead part so fans point to this film as your best chance of seeing her. She's surprisingly very good here as she really comes across as a sweet person and someone you'd like to hang out with (even without her amazing looks). She's got an incredible body, which will be the main reason people are going to check this film out. This time out she goes completely nude in the majority of her scenes as she has a couple (simulated) sex scenes with men and one with a woman. None of them are overly erotic or sexy but she's certainly great eye candy. The supporting players features a sometimes scary Lynn and a rather amusing White. Scott Cameron plays Bernie, a cop who loses his virginity to Digard after he pulls her over. The film takes advantage of Digard being from out of the country as we get some funny jokes aimed at that including the scene where she gets pulled over. Other moments of comedy happen throughout and for the most part they work, even if they are a tad bit silly. This film will certainly never be mistaken for CITIZEN KANE but if you're just wanting to mindless sex and nudity then this here isn't too bad. Digard is certainly the main reason to check this one out as she certainly looks the part of Heaven.
