The Sizzlin’ Something Weird Summer Challenge 2024: 101 Acts of Love (1971)

BONUS WILDCARD WEEK (September 22 – 28) Go order something from the SWV website and watch it!

Dr. Ann Foster (Lindis Guinness, playing the film’s writer, who also was behind another adult movie made that year, The Flanders and Alcott Report on Sexual Response) is trying to get the Johnsons — Bob (John Keith) and Marie (Susan Westcott) — to have better sex while poems by Elizabeth Barrett Browning are read by Peter Forster.

Then, just when the story seems boring — in an old porn movie — suddenly we get couple after couple in a variety of poses and positions, all while on a clear table that the camera zooms all over, under and around as old 60s LSD lighting like we’re at the Fillmore East except people are making sweet love as you watch.

One of those actors is Luanne Roberts, appearing as Christine Murray. She also shows up in Bonnie’s GirlsPrison Girls and Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. Also: Annette Michael, Aunt Fanny from Psyched by the 4-D Witch!

Director Eric Jeffrey Haims also made The Mislayed GenieA Clockwork BlueThe Jekyll and Hyde PortfolioSessions of Love and the previously mentioned The Flanders and Alcott Report on Sexual Response.
