Maybe for a "Bad Movie Night" with friends...

This is not the documentary it claims to be, and in fact is probably pretty representative of the sexploitation flicks of the late 1960s with more skin content than any real substance.

You can find this film currently as one of the extra "shorts" on the Something Weird Video release of "Satanis the Devil's Mass and Sinthia the Devil's Doll" double-feature DVD.

Hybrid Rough-Core
heystevesteinberg19 August 2014
What makes this movie historically significant can be found in the release date. While it says '1970' I think it was a bit later than that because this movie was shot in a rough/hard-core layered fashion. There's quite a bit of fellatio that is not hidden by hair, hands or camera angle. Neola Graef, she of the shimmery blond hair and zahftig figure, who only appeared in soft core scenes in her career, is in some hardcore scenes in this raincoater. In one extended scene, where another actress is totally sucking a dude off,Neola does a reverse cowgirl, back to camera, on his face. Now what he was doing with his lips and tongue is anyone's guess, but that's about as hardcore as she ever got. There is also a scene in which she is giving a guy head, with her hair hiding all the action, but when she finally pulls away, you see the man has a raging hard-on that twangs to one side, so perhaps she was really throwing the good stuff. By today's standards, a silly, tame and boring movie, but by the standards of the day, daring in the X-treme.

could have been better, but still okay

Warning: Spoilers
I liked this film, but it had the potential to be a classic. First of all, there are the woman, five in all, but three of them are legendary beauties for the genre: Neola Graef (Malta), Jeannine Anderson and Kathy Hilton.

Ms. Hilton's scene is borderline hardcore, which she did not do often. Jeannine Anderson has a scene where she is clearly performing fellatio on a lucky dude (he also has Malta sitting on his face at the same time). Ms. Anderson didn't appear in a lot of films, and this is the only one I know of where she did hardcore. Thus the film has a lot going for it.

Now on to the bad: twice during the film an extended sex scene dissolves into a psychedelic kaleidoscope of artsy-fartsy imagery that is extremely annoying.

In many instances the camera work could have been better, as well as the lighting

SPOILER ALERT: There is a lightly themed gay scene that features mostly simulated sex, but with a tiny amount of penis touching.
