Just the Two of Us AKA The Dark Side of Tomorrow (1970) - Jack Deerson & Barbara Peeters

 

 While their husbands are away on a hunting trip, two bored housewives get together to commiserate. One thing leads to another, and they wind up in bed. For one of the women the incident was just a pleasant diversion, but for the other it's turned into a fixation, and when she sees her "lover" going after one of the male neighborhood hunks, things take a turn for the worse.

Starhops (1978) - Barbara Peeters



IMDB REVIEW: Now here’s an interesting by-product of the 1970’s… the “feminist” drive-in exploitation fare, which featured female protagonists making their way in a man’s world. Courtesy director Barbara Peeters (BURY ME AN ANGEL) and screenwriter Stephanie Rothman (GROUP MARRIAGE), both specialists in this mini-genre, the conventions of these films are the same, however because the protagonists are women, there is kind of a reverse stereotype. In other words, it’s okay if women take their clothes off, as long as they’re being directed by women. This story is pure corny sex fluff: a trio of enterprising gals set out to save their fledgling drive-in restaurant despite all obstacles. Because this is a drive-in movie with a lot of wah-wah pedal soundtrack and male pigs with bad clothing, you know that these girls aren’t taking the Sally Struthers correspondence course on business. They take advantage of their sexuality to get their way in a corporate man’s world… always on their terms, yet still don’t go ALL the way.
