The search: This is one of the movies featured in the Something Weird Video opening trailer. This is a bit that's played at the beginning of most Something Weird Videos that is a montage of movies they've re-released. I discovered the name of this movie via a preview featured in the extras section of "The Naked Witch." At Scarecrow Video, I had to find this movie in the Sexploitation room, under "Sex Directors."
Anybody wanting to watch this movie for the sex will be severely disappointed. It features some soft porn (sort of) scenes, but mostly it's just some fairly attractive ladies walking around in lingerie or half-naked.
The good: I enjoy older movies, particularly B movies, for the visuals. B movies seems to capture things (cars, decor, outfits, furniture) that often gets missed in the bigger movies (where many things are generic after a while.) This movie features some great furniture, lingerie, and what a crazy guy's apartment might look like in 1967. Also, the cinematography was interesting, it was black and white, and at times had an almost artsy feel (probably a sign of the times, though). The pace was slow, featured well-framed shots, and had great (kitschy) music throughout. It was also neat that the lead actress was made up to look like a doll (check out her eye make-up...)
The gems: The lead actress, probably due to poor editing, changed lingerie in the middle of scenes repeatedly. Jeb had great pants, probably to make him look nerdy (although all the "cool" people wear pants too short for them now). Babs lover has an amazing moustache! And what a titillating toe "sucking" scene! Also, this film was only 75 minutes, making it's slow pace a bit more palatable.
The bad: Like many movies of its genre, the plot doesn't really go anywhere. It's a bit redundant, since if it were stripped down to only it's necessities, it would be barely long enough to fill a half hour TV slot.
