User Review
Perhaps the most important thing about this pornographic film is the director's attempt to tell a story rather than show pornography. The story is not bad (for this genre), but as for everything else...
The plot of the film is quite trivial, but it has an amusing approach. A married couple (Gilly and Billy) work at a radio station, where they co-host an informational and entertainment radio program (breakfast radio chat show). As is often the case in such situations, the couple's assistant, who is much younger than Gilly, is in a romantic relationship with Billy. In the film, it is shown as if the husband does not particularly hide his relationship with his assistant, but perhaps this directness takes into account the light-hearted approach of the film. In principle, this may be the case, because, in essence, we have a comedy with elements of farce. I want to say that all the characters in the film behave... well... rather inappropriately. As English-speaking viewers of this film say, the script was written in collaboration by several different writers, with the deliberate aim of creating a truly terrible novel, from which this film was later adapted. Therefore, the inadequacy of the characters may reflect this original idea. But these are just my guesses, of course. Perhaps the inadequate behavior of the film's characters is simply related to the genre itself. In any case, returning to the film, the wife learns of her husband's infidelity and decides to respond in kind. So, on the one hand, we see the sexual adventures of the husband and his assistant, and on the other, the wife and... everyone she meets along the way, sometimes even in the literal sense of the word. Considering that the film is labeled as pornography with elements of comedy, Gilly's attempts to sleep with various men are the main comedic elements of this film. In principle, for this genre, the scenes really do look good and funny. Although I wrote at the very beginning about the inadequacy of the behavior, there isn't that much of it here, and I may have even exaggerated a little. It's more about the comedic touch.
As for the pornographic component, that's where I see a problem. Of course, it's all a matter of taste, but I still think the sex scenes are... pretty boring. I thought long and hard (and even quickly rewatched these scenes) about how to rate them overall. On the one hand, they are not as terrible as in the film Teenage Twins (1976), but on the other hand, the film is clearly not even close to a film like Tapestry of Passion (1976). Therefore, I couldn't decide for a long time how to rate all the XXX scenes as a whole. In the end, I find them... boring. That is, something in between. Considering that this is a pornographic film, this factor is extremely important for evaluating the film as a whole.
Another reason why I find the sex scenes rather bland is the presence of a rather attractive actress—the radio station assistant. She is a rare example of a woman who looks good with a short haircut, and overall she is quite pretty. Therefore, one might assume that the scenes with her will also be attractive. Alas, no. I deliberately rewatched these scenes, and all of them... In short, I don't find them beautiful. I'll say even more: in my opinion, they are all extremely poorly shot, in the sense that all of the actress's body positions look awkward, unaesthetic, and, from a pornographic point of view, unattractive. So, you were given an attractive actress (which is rare for this genre), but you failed to truly reveal her potential. That is why I find the film rather unsuccessful, even if it is not entirely bad.
Yes, there is an interesting moment in the film that many will remember. The director decided to shoot one episode in the style of silent films of the 1920s. It turned out to be funny. But again, the XXX scenes are shot rather poorly, if not terribly.
Oh yes, as for the actress playing Gilly, it's a matter of taste (MILF).
So what's the bottom line? The bottom line is that we have a pretty good plot, its development and ending, but with rather mediocre pornographic scenes. Watch and forget? Watch and forget.
