History-Making But Forgotten Original

Warning: Spoilers
It's really funny reading the reviews that the kids have here. I doubt that many of them, as I was, were actually around/adults when this movie came out.It was a blockbuster, and it pretty much laid the tracks that Deep Throat used to get to the top of US media. Some complain about production values: I imagine they don't know this film was shot for $5000. Yes, about the cost of two Volkswagens back then. They probably also don't know that the outside shots were all done "wild", which means they picked a place and just did it, traffic/pedestrians/whatever notwithstanding. The scene in the alley shows this. There is a real story here, and one based on the view of the female star, not the men she encounters. The real shame is that you can't buy a complete version of this film, and you haven't been able to for over twenty years. So it is entirely possible the reviewers here only saw the Something Weird version of it, which lacks at least six major scenes. Gee, I'll bet they maybe didn't know that either. As for complaints about the "monster shots", i.e. the full-screen depictions of the stars' vagina, that was a standard shot in the 70's. But in the 21st Century, the proper contrast for a film like this is totally absent, and the reviews here show that.
