Bored affluent housewife Beth (a sturdy and spirited portrayal by fetching and slender brunette Kristine Heller) decides to venture into the racy world of anonymous sex and prostitution in order to put some spice back into her dull life. Director Anthony Spinelli astutely nails the heady hedonistic vibe of the 70's: The clothes, hair, music, and especially a swingin' party set piece all evoke the era quite well. Moreover, Spinelli adds a few amusing touches of ironic humor and maintains a nonjudgmental attitude about Beth's infidelity throughout. The sex scenes are quite steamy, sweaty, and explicit, with the fellatio lesson from a biker (hunky Peter Johns) and a scorching Sapphic session between Beth and a lusty lady (attractive Dory Devon) rating as the definite arousing highlights. The solid cast all do commendable work: Heller burns up the screen with her captivating sensuous presence, John Leslie registers strongly as Beth's nerdy workaholic husband Gary, Joey Silvera has a neat part as a smooth operator Beth gets picked up by at the party, Jack Wright almost steals the whole show with his fabulously freaky performance as whimpering submissive infantile creep Howard, and the stocky Sonny Lustig contributes a memorable turn as a skeevy dude who pays Beth to have sex with him in a seedy hotel room. The infectiously bouncy'n'groovy theme song and the funky-throbbing score both hit the get-down happening spot. The sumptuous cinematography provides a pleasing bright look. A hot little item.
