Agony of Love (1966)
3/10
A psychedelic smut trip to the 60s
23 May 2021
This whole movie is like a psychedelic experience and the story has surprising depth for a cheap roughie. Pat Barrington plays as a woman moonlighting as a prostitute and delves into the mental torment she goes through. The scenes with the men are done in a surreal dreamlike way expressing her mental state and it's a neat idea. Pat elevates the whole thing and is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful women of the period.

The beginning of the movie is especially great with a strong setup and a nice glimpse at 1966 Los Angeles with some fun camera work and music. Once the theme is established, it unfortunately goes downhill. We get a lot of lingering pointless shots at objects, faces, and excessive repetition. But considering how terrible these 60's low budget sexploitation films typically are, this still manages to be one of the better ones.
