The Walrus' Rating:

Starring: Our host is calle Scratchit, who symbolizes our sexual urges, always tempting us to overcome out conscionces and go for it. He is played by straight acton Ron Silver ina non-sex role. He introduces 5 unrelated scenes. R. Bolla is an office worker. Scratchit convinces him to put a move on co-worker Sharon Mitchell, using the great line that "A woman is lika a frying pan; you have to heat them up before you put the meat in them.
Susan McBain is a lonely housewife who seduces delivery boy David Morris.
Gloria Leonard is a teacher who first spanks and then seduces her pupil indentified only as Nina.
John Leslie finds himself alone with babysitter Ursula Austin, and seduces her.
Fanny Wolfe is a prim social worker who fantasizes about doing a gang bang with low-lives in a biker bar.
I have no complaints about any of the performances, except that Nina, while suitably young, is not very pretty.

This was produced and directed by Cecil Howard, which means that this is a classy production. The camera work is very good, and rest is at least better than average. The direction and editing are very fine. The script is clever.

The first 4 scenes display the sort of tender, lyrical eroticism taht typify a good couples film. They are very pretty. Sharon Mitchell looks better than usual, and Susan McBain is lovely. Both look very into the sex. My favorite is the older man-young girl scene Ursula Austin is a lovely young blonde with little cupcake tits andis pretty arousing in the heat of passion. Scene 5 is utterly raunchy, with the men pouring beer over Fanny in a symbolic golden shower. One sets her on a pool table and uses her as a side pocket. As the pool ball reaches her, she encloses it in her pussy lips, and then ties her lips in a knot! She takes several facials, which are rare in Howard's films.

I can't think of anything that was particularly outstanding. It was just a well-made film featuring the all-natural women they still had in 1980.

The last scene is out of place with the first 4, and the contrast leaves me irritated. Also, since the director decided to make the last scene raunchy, he should have gone all the way with some anals and a DP.

This is not one of Howard's masterpiece but is still worth an 8.
