Tom Peepers

Nothing's simpler than porn about a voyeur, and as its title suggests, this is one of them. Something Weird reissued it on Vol. 37 of its Dragon Art Theatre series, and it's satisfying for undiscriminating hardcore fans.

The blond hero in his spiffy hat looks like Truman Capote (now THAT would have made for an interesting porn film!), working as a delivery boy but dallying to look through every window where sex is taking place. Shot silent, film suffers badly from a cornpone narration track -adult theatergoers back when were stuck but a modern audience can always opt for Mute.

There are six segments in the all-sex format and several were arousing. First one features a woman cast for her Joyce Mandel-size amazing rack, and she is so good they bring her back for a second helping late in the film. The inevitable performers Ric Lutze and Rene Bond have sex with other thesps, never hooking up together here, and Rene is in her flat-chested mode.

Finale has two attractive lesbians putting on a show, and when they spot him at the window, invite the hero to join in. Just as he's about to get some sugar at long last the print ends abruptly.

Rik Tanzier plays the title character, a pervert who walks around peeping into windows and spying on those having sex.

TOM PEEPERS is yet another one of those no-budget adult movies that really serves no purpose until you happen to like one of the cast members. Case in point, I'm in love with Rene Bond and will watch her in any film she does so that little obsession of mine often leads me to these type of films.

For the most part this one here was mildly entertaining as long as you don't try and take it too serious. The entire peeping tom thing was rather stupid and especially the voice-over narration that gets thrown in for absolutely no reason at all. Ric Lutze appears here but he's actually with someone other than Bond! As for Bond, she gets a good scene but it's clear the guy she's with was a bit too happy if you know what I mean.

I'm a major Bond fan but there's no question that the person who steals the film was the first woman in the movie. Her rack was certainly what she was hired for and she actually got to come back at the end of the movie for a second scene, which is somewhat rare for films like this as usually the cast got one scene and they moved on.
