Mini-Skirt Love (1967)
Thank God for Something Weird---we can watch weirdo stuff like this
Mom has daytime sex affair in her house.
Teenage son watches, and snaps some photos of mom getting banged. Meanwhile, Dad has daytime sex affair in seedy motel with black woman. Dad comes home, naive son shows photos of mom getting screwed to Dad to show off what a good photographer he is.
Dad, upset, ready to kick mom out of house. Mom picks up knife, intends to commit suicide, instead stabs Dad to death in kitchen.
Son walks in with Dad lying on floor bleeding to death, snaps more pics of murder scene. Mom "sent away".
Aunt Janet comes to take care of distraught son. Not sure if this is Aunt on mom or dad's side.
Aunt Janet helps young boy wash his butt in shower, and wears slinky see through nightgowns. Aunt Janet is attracted to teenage nephew, writhes in bed touching herself and bringing herself to orgasm. Aunt Janet comforts troubled boy, afraid of being left alone, by disrobing and having sex with boy.
Aunt Janet and nephew continue to live together in sexual union for 5 years. Avon Lady calls on Aunt Janet while boy at work, seduces Aunt Janet and they go at it on floor with some nice nasty lesbian love.
Nephew forgot something at home, comes back, sees Aunt Janet and Avon Lady engaged in carpet munching. Of course, he documents the scene with some nifty snapshots.
Aunt Janet and Avon Lady rip off nephew's clothes and it becomes a three way.
They have found a new playmate.
Later, Aunt Janet gets news that Mom is being released and is returning home.
Mom seems out of it, but also condones Aunt Janet and her son's 'living arrangement'. Mom is real horny, and ends up pulling in the milkman and having sex with him on the floor.
Son walks in and watches mom getting plowed on the kitchen floor by milkman, snaps some photos again. Aunt Janet comes in and smiles approvingly to Son as they watch Mom getting banged.
They don't make em like this anymore folks. Shot on a shoestring budget in stark black and white, this is classic 60s sexploitation of the highest order, long before hardcore porn "showed everything". This flick shows you enough to make it pleasingly erotic in a nasty, sleazy, leering, peephole kind of way. I dare you not to get aroused when Aunt Janet disrobes and climbs into nephew's bed. This film is why Something Weird is such a treasure, as a slice of cinematic history is preserved forever for all perverts and horndogs and connoisseurs of special 'art films'. Part of a great triple feature DVD, these films need to be seen to be believed and appreciated for the nasty filthy gems that they are. Great stuff.
Love Games (1974)
The last real chance to ogle the magnificent Miss Friedland
I have the SW video of this little gem which stars Alice Friedland, here for some reason billed as Claudine Benet(playing Sharon Mills). I don't know what the previous reviewer was looking at when he described Alice as "not very good looking". He may want to get his testosterone levels checked, because Alice is magnificent. I agree with the description on the SW Video DVD jacket---"an angular blonde with hefty hooters and a divine a$$....that resembles Bridget Fonda". Sure, here she is 6-7 years older than when she broke loose those gigantic natural breasts in the classic "Cindy and Donna" soft core drive-in flick in 1970. Her face is a little more world weary than her fresh faced teen appearance in Cindy and Donna, but she is certainly a gorgeous woman, and her ample assets are still spectacular. She is in multiple sex scenes here, as is the legendary hard core porn actress Sharon Kelly (later known as Colleen Brennan). I agree this easily could have turned into a hard core porn flick, so its somewhat of an oddity appearing in 1976 as a soft core movie with such an obvious sexploitation plot. She had her one big break into the mainstream with a role in Killing of a Chinese Bookie with Ben Gazzara, but apparently more Hollywood roles didn't follow, so she reverted back to her soft core porn roots. Her filmography seems to stop around 1976-77, so its curious as to what became of the mouthwatering Alice Friedland. I am grateful to search and find what I can of Miss Friedland, even if some of the roles are small and uncredited. Here, she is the main character and rewards us with ample views of her breathtaking curves, and for that reason alone, this is well worth it. My only complaint would be that at the conclusion, as Sharon Kelly is getting down and dirty on her boss in the office, Alice walks in, sits down and asks "Can I watch" and begins touching herself, and the viewer is anticipating a nice 3 way scene coming up. The movie then abruptly ends, which makes me wonder whether there was some footage cut, or if this was the filmmaker's twisted humor to end this nasty piece of sleaze with a tease like that.
Cindy and Donna (1970)
The Holy Grail of early 70s soft core Drive In Sexploitation
I have to chuckle at the multiple reviewers who apparently don't really get this stuff. They review this drive-in B movie as if they expected The Sound of Music. People-its supposed to be this way. These are B movies, made cheaply and designed to play in Grindhouse Theaters and Drive-Ins at the dawn of the hardcore porn era. This 1970 movie preceded true hard core films that would become more prevalent after the success of Deep Throat in 72. This was actually rated X for its multiple soft core sex scenes upon release. It succeeds magnificently at what it was designed to do.
The appeal of the blossoming teenage sisters is obvious and well rewarded. The younger gal is especially erotic as she explores her own body in multiple self gratification scenes. These are roles a filmmaker would not get away with portraying now, with the girls playing 15 and 17 year olds exploring their sexuality, the stepfather incest scene etc. The real payoff for me is the role of Alice, the stripper/hooker who beds with the nasty father. Unbelievably, actress Alice Friedland was not credited for this role. Her sizzling strip club dance early in the film is jawdropping. If someone has seen a more perfect body than this, I would like to see it. The camera lovingly stays on her slightly sweaty and oiled body for multiple minutes are she reveals the most perfect breasts and a$$ you will ever see in a film like this.
Alice is the archetypal late 60s/early 70s free spirit gal, oozing with sexuality. Tall, leggy with the contrast of her perfectly flat stomach and curvy hips serving to magnify those glorious natural incredible bosoms. Wow. And we see more of her bounteous assets in her bedroom scenes with the lech. After seeing this scene, and catching my breath, I proceeded to find and purchase everything with Alice Friedland in it, including the film "Love Games" from 1976 where she is nude throughout but is credited as 'Claudine Benet' for some reason (available at Something Weird). Her filmography abruptly stops circa 1976-77, and I always wondered what happened to her.
To be able to view this slice of Drive-In era sexploitation, at the dawn of the porn film industry, for just a few bucks on the multi Drive-In sets from BCI, in anamorphic video with great color, is astounding, and its laughable that people are claiming these movies are terrible and not worth it. This takes you back to a time when things were looser, free and sexually open, when soft core porn dominated the drive-ins in the summer, yet there was still a freshness and innocence. People now are both more repressed in what has become a sexual police state, and ironically more jaded due to the abundance of mindless gonzo hard core porn which drove soft core classics like this into oblivion. A slice of time that is now forever lost. Alice Friedland forever!
