Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A bawdy rip-off of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes from the porn circuit. The storytelling is paltry, most of the acting aboriginal, but there is a pyrogenic half-pint in the shape of Mandel, who has all the dumb-puckering ingenuousness of the early Monroe. At the drop of a champagne glass, she is rending her garments and preparing to break the seventh commandment with some humdinger in a stetson, only the infuriating cuts for the British market (six minutes gone) coming between her and you and the fun. There is also evidence of a certain crude humour at work: an amorous version of Gone With the Wind ('The Yankees are coming!') being directed by Jamie Gillis, NY porn star. And the bizarre spectacle of someone's front room transformed into a skating rink for a set piece of troilism on ice, yet. CPea.Author: CPea
