"Kitty (Kitty Carl) has had it with her nagging mother, so she heads out on her own. But this slinky sex kitten doesn't have grand hopes or dreams -- she just wants to make it with a handsome stud. There are plenty of willing guys to choose from, but can poor Kitty find the kind of heavy petting she needs to be satisfied? Notorious erotic film star Uschi Digard co-stars in this erotic cult classic."
So you get the idea. It's a solo, reverse American Pie.
This movie came out in 1975, but it's easily one of the most dated movies I've seen. Technical problems abound, and not easily forgivable ones. The print looks pretty bad, and I don't care much about that. But the sound and the lighting is bad. Usually, this isn't too much of a problem, since the dialogue isn't too important. But the one reveal in the movie, during the last shot, is completely destroyed because we can't see who the guy is.
The sense of humor is hard to evaluate. I think there is some funny stuff here, but it's hurt because of the poor sound quality.
The thing that really stands out is how peculiar the attitudes are. There's a broad acceptance of all sorts of sexual harassment. There's an outright approval of prostitution, even within the context of a relationship. Then there's a sequence where the mother expresses her disapproval of blacks. There are two instances where characters talk about "faggots." For a movie that seemed to have a carefree atmosphere, these seem like odd areas to include oppressive messages.
Overall, the movie isn't erotic at all. There's not much of a reason to suggest this movie, except as an interestingly dated curio.
And I was annoyed that the title was misleading. Some girls work as carhops during the first five minutes. Then we forget about their jobs.
