The Last House On The Left (1972)

[thirtytwoelvismovies]

Friday the 13th: A Nude Beginning (1987). Just came across this ad in an issue of Genesis and had legit forgotten this existed. Now before you go running off to a torrent or tube site in search of this one, be prepared for some disappointment. This one has as much to do with Jason as, say, the ‘90s Friday the 13th television series. If memory serves, some dude is wearing a hockey mask at the beginning, promptly takes it off, and that’s the only reference.

Otherwise, you’ve got Amber Lynn and Nina Hartley, so guess what friend you’re still a winner.

Put On Your Raincoats | Oui, Girls (Lincoln, 1981)

Because it is Noirvember, I figured I should watch some films in the Film Noir genre. And this is a film in the Film Noir genre, so I watched this film for Noirvember. The month in which we watch films in the Film Noir genre such as this Film Noir. Now let me repeat that again slowly for the jury. Any other reasons I watched this are none of your damn business and I’m pleading the fifth.

Anyway, the noir framing is pretty bullshit and gets dropped by the halfway point. Actually, Anna Ventura starts to catch on earlier that the residents of this swingers colony seem unlikely to have committed the murder that Paul Thomas insists happened, although Thomas retorts, “Murderers don’t advertise.” But really his scheme was to bring her down to this swingers colony and get her to have sex with him and presumably introduce her to the joys of swinging. You might be wondering why they didn’t just make that the plot of the movie and why they bothered to throw in the phony detective framing. And to get your answer, you’ll have to turn to director and writer Fred Lincoln and co-writer Tiffany Clark, the latter of whom also wrote some lyrics in the theme song, which is technically multilingual thanks to the presence of a single French word. She also plays a supporting role in the movie as the wife of someone best described as Porno Al Bundy, and has a weirdly classy and goofy dance-infused sex scene.

Anyway, as a swingers porno it certainly delivers the goods and is worth a watch if you like the cast. I watched it primarily for Anna Ventura. And if I can tell you a secret, I think she’s one swell looking lady. I cannot say if she is a great actress in the conventional sense, but will note that she gets cuter the more indignant she gets, and looks looks especially ravishing in the red dress she wears during key scenes, and is plenty enthusiastic when she gets to delivering the genre goods. So I was unsurprisingly not immune to her charms. I mean, she made a rapey sex scene with Ron Jeremy in Bad Girls not just tolerable but actually pretty hot, so I will say that she’s a great actress in at least one particular sense. Also, as a portly man with a fondness for cowboy shirts, I was moved to see Michael Morrison in similar attire generally be a chill dude and having a loving marriage with Lisa De Leeuw. I think this is what people mean by onscreen representation. I would have liked to see him get a scene with Ventura as well, but I suppose I’m projecting at this point. I did find it weird how nonchalant he was after De Leeuw gets sexually harassed by Joey Silvera, so he is not a perfect man.

I also found it weird that the movie caps off with a succession of sex scenes where the different couples reaffirm their love for each other, but I guess it’s a nice message to end the movie on. There is the requisite orgy scene, which didn’t do much for me but has a hint of style thanks to the mirrors and red lighting. So as a swingers porno it will probably do the trick. As Noirvember viewing, you’ll probably end up here with as a co-conspirator with me.

A Place Beyond Shame (1980). Dir. Fred Lincoln & Sharon Mitchell. This is an incredibly stylized film that follows a typical golden age trope — protagonist (Seka) has lost her sex drive and a therapist helps her find her way. Seka is incredible here and is glamour personified.

Marilyn Jess in the rather lack-lustre Grand Prix (1987). Sharon Mitchell is in the final frame, who later recalled to the Rialto Report that her experience on this shoot was a nightmare.
