I see I'm the first to review this old adult classic. I've video'd this movie a few times. Not lately. If you're into adult films, present or old, you should give Hot Connections a go. I must admit it's one of my favorites. This movie does have style, a story, and half decent acting. This film is set around interesting theme, telecommunications. And talk about sexual relations. There's the boss Arnold Thaxton who's seeing about every girl, probably every girl in the office, a few of who'm have got pregnant and fired. His ex wife Marilyn, just so happens to run a women's lib group, zealously, obsessed with putting the knife back into her husband. Naturally some of them are ex employees of Arnold's. She even has blow up photos of him. Arnold's employee/friend George, a bumbling nervy character provides the comic touch to this god awful sex film. I don't want to give any more away, but you be the judge. There are a lot of sex films that are far worse than Hot Connections. Give this flick a go. As the eager adult viewer you may just find this 72 will surprise you.

Fair For What It Is

Hot Connections (1973)
** (out of 4)
Arnold (Christopher Geoffries) is a rich executive who is living a good life, which consists of banging a lot of women around his office and firing them if they get pregnant or become too annoying. What he doesn't know is that his wife is the leader behind a women's liberation group and pretty soon she sets a trap for him.
HOT CONNECTIONS is a fairly ordinary softcore picture that honestly doesn't have too much going for it. I guess the film seems somewhat timely for 2018 when you consider the women's rights movement currently going on and you can't help but laugh at some of the dialogue here where the male boss abuses his female workers and even takes away some of their basic needs.
For the most part the cast is good for what they're asked to do but lets be honest, they're not asked to do too much. There's beautiful naked women walking around throughout the running time and you also get the typical softcore scenes. Fans of Rene Bond will notice she gets top-billing on several posters but she's only in the film for a few scenes and it totals just a few minutes worth of footage.
HOT CONNECTIONS isn't an awful movie by any stretch of the imagination but at the same time there's really nothing that makes it stand out in a crowded field of softcore movies.

Reach out and seduce someone
Woodyanders23 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Callous married cad Arnold Thaxton (a nicely smarmy portrayal by Christopher Geoffries) works for the phone company and frequently has affairs with his lady coworkers. After Arnold fires a switchboard operator in the wake of knocking her up, his militant feminist ex-wife Marilyn (Tallie Cochrane in fine feisty form) and her fellow women's lib friends decide to get revenge on him.
Director James Hong -- yep, that James Hong of a hundred films and TV shows -- keeps the enjoyable story moving along at a snappy pace and maintains an amiable lighthearted tone throughout. Moreover, there's a generous abundance of tasty bare distaff skin and the simulated soft-core sex scenes are pretty hot, with a bathtub-set tryst rating as a definite sizzling highlight. The lively cast of familiar sexploitation cinema regulars helps a lot: The ever-adorable Rene Bond as sweet secretary Angie (Rene looks positively smashing in a skintight red vinyl dress), Cindy Daly as tough karate expert Joan, Sandy Dempsey as a lascivious lesbian, and Marge Lanier as the frustrated Cynthia Hanes. Jay Scott also contributes an amusing turn as Arnold's meek buddy George. A bawdy hoot.
