Wendy's Naughty Night (1972) - Nick Millard



Quote:
Coming toward the end of Nick Millard's porno career, Wendy's Naughty Night exemplifies why he gave up the ghost of being an erotic director. Hardcore had arrived and he was too bored to adapt to its pre-eminence in the marketplace.
Running at 90 minutes is the longest of Millard's sexploitation output in the 70's. It can only be enjoyed by fans of Nick's particular oft-appearing fetishes & techniques: lovely female nipples, patent-leather boots, black stockings or patterned hose plus garter belt, shoe/foot fetishism, lesbian sex, softcore tease, harsh lighting & gaudy pastel color schemes.
The single improvement here is Nick's dropping of the annoying female narrator who drives one up the wall reciting his nonsensical purple prose in voice over on dozens of his films.

The Ganja Express (1978) - Richard MacLeod



Quote:
Toni is a smart drug smuggler, living in a luxurious home by the beach. The pot (ganja) producers pack it in crates, take it from Jamaica to a precise point of New England waters, and dump it in the sea. With no apparent connection with them, a couple of scuba-divers later retrieve the crates to their own boat, then take it in an old low-flying biplane to the continent. And then a third party will distribute to the consumers. The Narcotics Bureau has its informers, of course, but it seems the monthly Ganja Express can't be stopped. Eventually it will come ashore, in a mix of sex and violence, during an orgy at Toni's place.

El fontanero, su mujer, y otras cosas de meter... (1981) - Carlos Aured



Quote:
"The Plumber, his wife, and other things he plunged into ..." is a Spanish sex farce featuring Lina Romay, Ricardo Díaz and Montserrat Prous. Romay is married to a plumber, but ends up in ... er ... hot water when he returns home and finds her in bed with his best friend. There is nothing for him to do but visit his friend's wife and return the favor. That encounter proves somewhat less than ideal when she wears him out then continues the sex with a toilet plunger. He then puts his own plunger inside a steady procession of female customers. Finally, Lina Romay and Montserrat Prous get together as only horny women can. The plumber is assisted by his young apprentice when the sexual opportunities are too demanding.

Three Daughters (1986) - Candida Royalle



In 1986, Candida Royale retired from performing in hard core films, and decided to make some of her own, but with a huge difference from the norm. She wanted to create hard core films that portrayed healthy consensual sex in a way that would serve as a positive role model, and appeal to women. In researching for the screenplay, she read a lot of women's erotica, and noticed that a frequent theme was the perfect first time, so that became the basis for her script. Three Daughters (1986) is a coming of age story, and a tool used by many sex therapists as an example of normal, healthy sexuality. It is also a serious attempt to incorporate hard core sex footage into a mainstream Hollywood style film and reach a larger audience. Does it work? You be the judge.
