Sensuous Flygirls (1976)
I have no memory of making this film.
Constantine Zuba was the Nom de Porn of my old friend Doug Collins. This film is a mystery to me. The cast is populated with people I knew well, and hired often. I do recognize some of the music. I'm certainly in it. My old friend and partner Bill Markle shot it. Bill's ancient Volkswagon Squareback is actually in a shot. But I just do not remember ever making a film about space or astronauts. It's not something I would write. It was made forty four years ago, so it's possible that I have simply forgotten making it. The sex scenes, while certainly acceptable, seem too busy and unchoreographed. They needed to be cleaner. The story telling is messy. Did I make it? Maybe. But I doubt it.
Not a Love Story: A Film About Pornography (1981)
Unforgivably dreadful.
Other than Marc Stevens, no one of consequence in the smut business was interviewed. If watching a bunch of inarticulate losers talking about their lives makes you happy, then, by all means, watch this film. It goes nowhere and say's nothing you didn't already assume. Where did they find these people? Obviously, little effort was made by the producers to find sex workers who could express themselves coherently. This film was painful to sit through, even high speeding through most of it. Simply dreadful.
Honeymoon Suite (1973)
This is being reviewed like it's an actual movie
The other reviewers are actually taking this seriously, and reviewing it accordingly. Fella's, get real. This was my first One Day Wonder, and it's exactly what it should be. It was shot in one day for five thousand dollars, and was intended to entertain adult theater audiences, who paid their hard earned money to see exactly this. These movies were extremely successful because they gave the adult audiences exactly what they wanted. There is hardly any story nor is there time for one. The glib reviewers, who were probably not born when these things were made, are making some attempt to be make believe film critics, which, of course, they are not. These adult entertainment vehicles are exactly what theater audiences in 1973 wanted to see. No more, and no less.
Baby Oil (1975)
Not mine
This film was not made by me, although I was there for the day. This was Ron Dorfman's first One Day Wonder, and Sid Levine at Star Distributors was nervous about Ron's ability to deliver a audience-ready film. I told him Ron would be fine, but Sid asked me to be on the set to make sure everything went well. It really was not necessary. The review appearing on this page is preposterous. The nameless reviewer reviewed Baby Oil as if it was an actual movie. Baby Oil was a One Day Wonder. Shot in one day for a total budget of $5,000. It is supposed to have a few sight gags and enough hard core sex to entertain a theater audience for 60 minutes. In my opinion, it does exactly what it was intended to do.
