Counter-culture meets sexploitation

Warning: Spoilers
This drive-in movie was made by those purveyors of good taste, Crown International Pictures. It's about two suburban teenage sisters who have somewhat debauched parents; the mother is an alcoholic and the father an unfaithful swine with a taste for very young women. Both girls essentially go on a voyage of sexual discovery. It is in essence a soft-core sex film that must've been really explicit for 1970. There are copious amounts of nudity and sex scenes sprinkled throughout, while the young women are all attractive, especially the buxom stripper played by Alice Friedman who is filmed in an extensive scene where she dances topless at a club. Naturally, all of this makes for a somewhat entertaining concoction.

As is to be expected for the era, the girls experiment with pot and there is an overall pleasing counter-cultural feeling to events in general. Although, it's an exploitation film first and foremost and to that end we also have scenes of complicit incest added to the menu as well! On the whole, this is another of those very 70's productions that feature hippy chicks and I have a definite liking for those. They are films with automatic cult value nowadays and this one is no different, although it is more on the soft-core erotica side of the fence than most. It also finished with an utterly nihilistic ending which seemed to be de rigueur in the years 1969-70. I always find these types of endings pretty satisfying in that they seem so bold and strange from the point of view of today's safer cinematic culture.
