SEX IN THE SEVENTIES The Times Square Storefront Collection

Rare and Forgotten Cinema from the Filthy 70's

From the early 1960s right up to the death-blow wielded by The Meese Commission, anything went on 42nd Street in New York City. Porno guys got cheap multi-year leases on most of " The Deuce" and surrounding blocks. Formerly unrentable retail stores became "storefront theaters." A plywood partition was built to house the projector, the back wall was painted white or a sheet hung up, a few dozen folding chairs were lined up, and the windows were blacked out. Usually a window had something on it to entice you in - a painted silhouette of a naked woman or a glaring cheap sign, framed out in yellow light bulbs, proclaiming "XXX Movies." Now, After Hours Cinema and yours truly, 42nd Street Pete, are going to give you the storefront theater viewing experience. But we can only show you this collection of classic films, painfully restored from their original grimy elements.

Product Description

Get the ultimate 42nd Street theater viewing experience with the SEX ON WHEELS GRINDHOUSE COLLECTION! Three grimy, softcore gems from the early 1970s including HARD-ON WHEELS, CYCLE SLUTS and MELISSA S INSIDE STRAIGHT. Bikers and drugged out, casual sex seem to go together like, well... bikers and drugged-out, casual sex. Hippies and Harleys with a hearty side of down and dirty poontang were a mainstay of early Seventies exploitation, a combo promising both sex and violence and usually including a heaping helping of substance abuse to boot. HARD-ON WHEELS is a long-lost Los Angeles hog opera featuring a cast of hard-riding hipsters right off of the Sunset Strip. A tale of rape and revenge, the plot concerns a posse of hopped-up chopper-hoppers who set out to exact retribution from a pot dealing police detective. CYCLE SLUTS emphasizes sex much more than violence and even contains a strong strain of improvised humor. A couple of shake-sipping chippies are picked up at a roadside burger joint by a pair of girl-hungry hog jockeys. The foursome retires to the home of one girl s aunt, who is reputedly away on business. MELISSA S INSIDE STRAIGHT does not concern motorcycles in the least but suitably substitute gambling and group sex for grease monkeys and gore and is the only film in the triple bill to actually contain cast and crew credits always a benchmark of quality grindhouse viewing.

Product Description

This installment of After Hours Cinema s Storefront feature series presents a three-fer of Big Apple grindhouse sleaze. So get ready to be transported back to the days when the Rotten Apple was the capitol of adult cinema and when 42nd Street was a veritable theme park of pushers, prostitutes, and peepshows.

PEN PALS is an early grindhouse storefront feature by the great Shaun Costello, without doubt the most significant (and probably the most prolific) cineaste of the entire New York School. Costello s films generally exhibit the hip, urban, jaundiced sensibility of Paul Morrissey s Warhol fare: willfully anti-artistic, they radiate an engaging cynicism that somehow reinvigorates them as cinema.

CERTIFIED MAIL is a pure product of Kirtfilm Studios, the Gower Gulch of New York sleaze. Certified Mail s rather episodic and thinly unified plot concerns a mail lady who wanders into various sexual misadventures while making her rounds.

Rounding out the program is LOVE-IN MAID, which must be just about the grimiest grindhouse gem ever committed to film. Mid-Seventies raunch regular Bobby Astyr and another unnamed Svengali advertise for domestic help in the hopes of finding a built-in love partner.

Disc 1: PEN PALS (1973) CERTIFIED MALE (1974)

Product Description

After Hours Cinema is always pleased to present a double-dip of delights featuring one of our favorite girls of Golden Age adult cinema. And few gals of the sin-tillating screen elicit as many oohs and ahhs as Suzanne Fields, one of the earliest and most recognizable faces in West Coast adult cinema. Before Tina, Georgina and Andrea (and even before Marilyn and Linda), Suzanne Fields (FLESH GORDON) was making middle-aged porn hounds salivate from Hollywood to Times Square.

WAYWARD MISTRESS Poor Cindy does not think her boyfriend Ric (played by West Coast peep workhorse, Ric Lutze) understands her. In spite of a great sex life, she feels the need to get away and think through their relationship. What better place to do this than with a girlfriend who hooks for a living?

SEX SPA Sex Spa revisits one of the dearest old stag cliches: the dirty doctor who tends to his frustrated clients with invasive procedures. The great Keith Erickson, perhaps the only truly noteworthy character actor to arise out of early West Coast porn, tells his new patient that her weight concerns can be easily addressed by his simple diet, exercise and sex regimes.

Description

"Sexy and chic." —Entertainment Weekly

Perhaps the most startlingly authentic portrayal of a love affair ever filmed, After Sex is a funny, taboo-breaking film about passion and obsession, which swoops from the euphoric heights of a sexually charged romance to its tempestuous aftermath.

Brigitte Roüan stars as Diane, a forty-year old book editor with a successful career, a loving husband and two adorable children. During a visit with one of her writers, she meets Emilio (Boris Terral), an exotically seductive engineer in his twenties who ignites Diane's life with passion and turns her world upside down.

It`s so true!.......2007-07-12

AFTER SEX is a funny movie about contemporary relationships. Kate (Brooke Shields), divorced, and three girlfriends go to Palm Springs to spend the weekend. In the hotel bar, after many, many, many drinks, they meet new guys and... Well, when the girls come back home, they have to deal with their own feelings and their relationships. The first time I watched AFTER SEX, I thought to myself: "It's so true!" Now, I watch this charming movie time and time again and I'm quite sure they stole my story! (I`m kidding!) The performers are very natural and real. The soundtrack is lovely (specially the song KISS ME) and it goes so well with the action, that really moves me. In this crazy world we live, where things change so fast and everything seems to be "one way", the movie challenges and, more than this, it makes me feel like finding out what comes... after sex. Marcia Vieira, from Rio de Janeiro/ Brazil.

RUN NOW!.......2002-09-30

Save your money and invest in a Pet Rock. You'd get amusement from it than you will from this dreadful film. I picked it up at a Blockbuster previously viewed movie sale. Thank god it was only 1.99. And now I know why. IT'S AWFUL. I honestly tried to watch this movie, but I had to fast forward through most of it because of the insipid dialogue and trite premise. It tries to come off as a serio-comic romance, but it's boring, predictable and trite. If you come across it, lie very still and it may just sniff you and leave you alone. If it doesn't, may God take mercy on your mortal soul.

Serious Spackled With Comedy.......2002-07-23

I actually really enjoyed this movie--a lot. I throw this movie into the category of the successor to those relationship movies such as About Last Night and St. Elmo's Fire, but with a somewhat lighter tone. I thought the ending was well done. The characters and their situations felt real. I don't want to give parts of this movie away, but there are a few interactions with the guys that I found hilarious.

I wish the DVD had more features--actually, any features. Apparently, they did not want to spend a lot of time to put any of those special DVD perks before they shipped it out.

You knew it before you see it........2002-05-16

I know everyone who watched this movie wouldn't like to comment on it because of the title of this movie. But I'd like to take the plunge and be the first person to review it.

I accidentaly knew this movie from an ad on a portal site of South Korea, which was Brooke Shields with a cigar. She is famous and popular in my country, so I wanted to watch this for a try.

This movie is for mature audiences, but not so-called an adult movie. You can't expect a stuff except a slight upper-body one. That's usually good for most viewers.

For the content? It's just what men and women are all about for the ages in this movie. You knew it before you will see this. If you'd like to know it, you don't have to know it.

If you have time and nothing to do, it would be an option to watch this movie. But it would be better for you to watch other better movies, if you'd choose to watch a DVD/VHS.

Just watching your familiar actresses will be fine and that's all. I don't know how familiar they are because I can't watch U.S. TV series except very famous ones in my country.

Simply Amazing.......2007-01-03

I received the DVD of this movie for Christmas and had no idea what to expect. I have never seem any thing like it and probably never will.
It is a crazy mock sexual documentary made in 1971. If this movie came out today it would be a shocker with the topics they explore. The movie is laugh out loud funny. The middles does drawn out a bit and some parts are less funny but it is a must see for a comedy fan. I was speechless after watching it being amazed what I had just seen. 5 stars. Gold Medal for the Sex Olympics.

This Is One Funny Movie!.......2004-04-30

Is There Sex After Death is an hilarious documentary styled spoof of the sexual revolution of the 1960's and 1970's. Starring and directed by famed hoaxer Alan Abel, and featuring some wonderful improvisational comedians like Buck Henry, Marshall Efron, and Rubin Carson, the movie rolls through a series of funny, tongue in cheek vignettes that will keep you laughing throughout. My favorite bits are Abel's tour through his Bureau of Sexological Investigation, Efron's interview as a porn filmmaker, and the classic finale: couples competing in the International Sex Bowl. This movie is one of the memorable comedies from the 70's.

Hilarious Spoof.......2002-07-27

IS THERE SEX AFTER DEATH? is perhaps the funniest motion picture spoof about the 70's "sexual revolution." A documentary styled crazy quilt of sketches and interviews, the film features hilarious bits from Buck Henry, Marshall Efron, Rubin Carson, Holly Woodlawn and others. The film's narrator and director, Alan Abel, is famous for pulling off media hoaxes including a phony organization to clothe all naked animals (he once condemned the Bronx Zoo as a moral disaster area) and a bogus school for beggars. The movie's final sequence, The International Sex Bowl, is a fall down laughing sketch complete with competing couples and a Wide World Of Sports style announcer. This one's a must!

NOT A BAD SCI-FI..........2006-01-18

Terrible plots, bad acting, hilarious dialog and effects that aren't so special not withstanding, I'm a fan of bad science fiction movies. For the most part, I'm not the type to make fun of them. There's just something about them that pulls me which I really can't put into words. So I bought this movie (more accurately, I bought a three dvd/9 movie package dirt cheap specifically for this movie) because it sounded intriguing. I found it to be rather captivating. A billionaire, his wife and lawyer go scuba diving while on vacation only to emerge and find it impossible to breath. Luckily, they have several hours worth of oxygen in their tanks. The boat's engine doesn't fire, matches don't light and they can't breath. It's become apparent that somehow, the oxygen supply was completely drained while the three were submerged. From that point, the movie turns from its sci-fi premise to a case study of human behavior during an apocalyptic event. The actors involved performed their roles professionally. I detected no campiness and because of this, they made the love triangle and dire uncertainty aspects of the plot believable. Interestingly enough, I don't consider this to be in the bad sci-fi category for a number of reasons. The acting was good and because the movie was more of a psycological study of human nature in extreme situations, there weren't any special effects but the cinematography was done very well. There were a number of shots that I made me think "that's pretty creative". Even the fight scenes weren't too laughable. This movie is almost entirely dialog and I thought it was very well done. The ending was a little, shall we say, limp wristed but this doesn't ruin the movie. All in all, I was surprised to find this movie to be this well done.

Only Roger Corman could make the apocalypse this unbelievably boring.......2005-12-01

Roger Corman was the Ernie Banks of filmmaking (the difference being that Ernie Banks was actually good at what he did). Let's make two, Corman said on more than one occasion - we've got this set, we've got some actors, and we've got a few days, so let's make a second movie on-the-fly. And so it was that The Last Woman on Earth was made alongside Creature From the Haunted Sea on location in Puerto Rico. It looks and sounds like the story and dialogue were all made up on the spot - and that's pretty close to the truth. That's the only excuse Robert Towne has for giving us such a miserably boring script. Talk about the world ending with a whimper!

Towne didn't just write the script, though; he also starred in the film (under the name Edward Wain) as lawyer Martin Joyce. He's joined by Antony Carbone (who seems to be attempting to channel both Dean Martin and Bing Crosby simultaneously - with little success) and Betsy Jones-Moreland (the "last woman," as you might have guessed). Martin's a lawyer for shady businessman Harold Gern, who is "vacationing" (far away from an indictment) in Puerto Rico with his wife Evelyn. The three just so happen to be scuba diving when something big happens up above - all of the oxygen in the air mysteriously disappears, killing everyone who wasn't fortunate enough to be hooked up to an oxygen tank at the time. The oxygen soon returns as mysteriously as it vanished, and our three survivors are able to keep on surviving (unfortunately for us, the viewing audience). They hole themselves up in a beachside villa and basically just bicker amongst themselves for the rest of the movie. Harold is a power freak, and his constant planning drives Ev and Martin up the wall (and closer together, although there is not the first trace of any passion in their "romance"). Martin thinks that the whole apocalypse thing makes the Gerns' marriage null and void, but Harold disagrees. The men argue about more than sharing Harold's wife, though. My favorite is the boat argument - there are hundreds of abandoned boats out at the marina, but these two chowder heads actually duke it out over sole control of Harold's boat. Can't we all just get along, what with it being the end of the world and all? The answer to that would be no.

The only good thing about The Last Woman on Earth is the fact that it's relatively short, clocking in at 64 minutes - that's about all a sane person can take of these three incredibly annoying characters. I've seen some bad Roger Corman films in my time, but this has to be the most boring of the bunch.

Post Apocalyptic Gab-Fest..........2005-06-27

This one starts off fairly well. We are introduced to the three main, and as it turns out ONLY characters at a cockfight (!) in Puerto Rico. Antony Carbone (Bucket Of Blood, Pit And The Pendulum) is a self-made zillionaire, Betsy Jones-Mooreland is his wife, and Robert Towne is their lawyer. The trio heads out for a day of fun and scuba-diving, unaware that while they are busy swimming below, the world has come to an end! Upon surfacing, they realize the air is unbreathable, so they use their oxygen tanks to survive until they reach the safety of the shore. It appears that the jungle fauna has replenished the oxygen supply in short order. Corman shows us some desolate, semi-disturbing shots of the aftermath of whatever holocaust has occurred, including a dead child on the side of the road and a ghostly car hitting a curb. Unfortunately, this all happens within the first twenty minutes. The final hour and ten minutes is like an episode of the world's most tedious soap-opera. The three characters argue, fight, pout, and talk-talk-talk their way to the final credits, mostly whining about their "love triangle" situation or waxing philosophical about the evils of money. There is NO action or intrigue (unless you consider half-hearted fist-fights exciting), just excrutiating oration and endless bloviating! I was tempted to throw a lamp through my own TV screen! Good luck with this one...

Dull.......2004-05-22

Having finished Creature From the Haunted Sea early, Corman decided to put the locations and talent he still had on hand to work on another film. Robert Towne wrote the script in a rush at the same time it was being filmed (and at the same time he was acting in it), so don't expect another "Chinatown". A mobster, his wife, and a lawyer are scubadiving when some disaster (maybe an atomic war) burns out the oxygen in the air. They are saved because they still have about an hours worth of air in their tanks and are near an oxygen producing jungle. At first they work together, but a love triangle forms. Some intelligence shines through, but ultimately the film is little more than talking heads and arguments. Nothing profound.

As for the picture quality, the colour has mostly faded to shades of red.

Bad Beyond Belief.......2003-07-22

Don't even think about buying this movie. Awarded 1 star only because ZERO was not given as an option. I received it as a gift ( a GAG gift, as it turns out...) so I felt obligated to watch at least some of it. Bad acting, terrible script, non-existant special effects and a cheesey music score. The only thing worse than the movie itself is the DVD transfer, which features a bleached out, grainy print and miserable sound to go with it. You can't do any worse than this. Spend your [money] on beer or cigarettes.
