Review:

There's not much to be said here as this was a rather one-note effort. The one thing to be had with this one is the wholesale sleaze and nudity that's frequently employed here as the pair go through a near-endless stream of women for sexual conquests and tends to focus on just about any kind of pairing possible with women in just about any shape or figure available. Some of them are genuinely steamy or erotic but the majority of them are baseless and just serve to get as much female flesh in various states of sexual hook-ups that leaves this one with a series of nudity-filled exploits that effectively capture the kind of arthouse approach to eroticism that was prevalent in the European scene at the time.

However, beyond that factor, there’s almost nothing about this one worthwhile. The main issue is the wholly uninvolved storyline that doesn’t have anything going on other than providing a means of getting the pair to their next conquest. Neither of them is particularly interesting with their lecherous behavior and lack of depth beyond that so the film instead consists of these endless seduction attempts and then moving on to the next one. It leaves a sense of dullness throughout that’s rather hard to overcome, especially for those that aren’t impressed with the sleazier qualities or the admittedly impressive filmmaking qualities featured here.


Overview: **/5
A generally underwhelming effort really only passable for its sleaze quotient, that holds this one up so much so that with all the other negatives on display it serves as socially-acceptable porn in the end. Those unwilling to go for the real thing in the presence of others would find this a suitable replacement in that regard but just about every other form of viewing experience really renders this one unworthwhile.
