The Film
Do you want to see a prisoner give herself up to her jailor just to get a tampon? How about watching the jailor earn his red wings? Yup, that is how this volume of 8mm adult loops starts off...

Then how about watching the housewife pleasure herself with a cucumber before an Asian stranger (or neighbor?) shows up at her door to finish the job. Not everything is as off the wall as period blood and vegetables though. There's the far more straight forward "Stewardess" which is the simple story of a lovely flight attendant returning home and getting it on with her man. There's a unique mix of sexual encounters and acts in this volume (including more veggies! Yum!) and a bit more envelope pushing with interracial scenes which had not yet become normal.


The raunch factor is upped yet again with these 15 loops that are sexy and obscene and will make you want to make sure your doors are locked and the blinds are shut before popping this disc in. You'll be instantly teleported back to the sticky porn shops and theaters from decades passed and that is half the fun!

The Audio & Video
The Impulse Pictures line from Synapse Films delivers this collection of 8mm stag reels with a 1.33:1 full frame transfer straight from the original prints. Quality ranges from beaten and battered, while still being perfectly enjoyable to rather clean and rather sharp for 8mm productions. There's scratches and dirt present while color washes out at certain moments. It all adds to the nature of these great shorts. There's no audio except for the sound of the projector.


The Extras
The lone extra is liner notes from the editor of Cinema Sewer magazine Robin Bougie. These notes are good enough to not need other extras.


The Bottom Line
Aficianados of vintage smut will feel the need to add this volume to their collection and who am I to tell them otherwise? This is good stuff!
