The Amazing Transplant (1970) is an interesting predecessor to our modern soft-core films, complete with poor acting, lame excuse for a plot, tons of nudity (including several shots of the male leads dork, which was not allowed at that time), and simulated sex. The lead murders Mary, who he is madly in love with. His uncle, a police detective, starts an investigation, and interviews one woman after another, only to find that he forced sex on all of them. Of course, they tell their stories as flashbacks, so we see them nude and in action. Turns out this deviant behavior is the result of a penile transplant from an oversexed guy with a thing for gold ear rings.

The images are a do it yourself project, as the opening credits listed cast, but there were no credits equating cast to characters. I have well over 250 good nude shots to choose from, and if anyone can id any of the 5 unknowns, I will produce a series of images from them. This is a Doris Wishman effort, and, like most of her work, really delivers the nudity. The dialogue all sounds like her speaking. It has historical value, both because of the writer/director, and because it is a precursor to soft cores. C-.

From "Loving and Laughing" (1971)

"Loving and Laughing" (1971) is a Canadian sex comedy about a uppity French tutor who switches places with a French-Canadian hippie. The hippie finds himself in a mansion teaching French to a student (Susan Petrie) who has a horny mother (Mignon Elkins), butch sister (Céline Lomez), and a sexy French maid (Julie Wildman). Meanwhile the tutor is in a hippie commune having communal baths and experiencing free love. He eventually hooks up with a hippie woman named "Lovely" (Michelle Mercure). Much nudity throughout including a dozen uncredited actresses playing naked hippies, although Céline Lomez shows almost nothing and she was always good for a beaver shot back then.

I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female driver cut right in front of a pickup truck causing him to have to drive on to the shoulder to avoid hitting her. This evidently angered the driver enough that he hung his arm out his window and flipped the woman off.

"Man, that guy is stupid" I thought to myself. I ALWAYS smile nicely and wave in a sheepish manner whenever a female does anything to me in traffic and here's why:

I drive 48 miles each way every day to work, that's 96 miles each day. Of these, 16 miles each way is bumper-to-bumper. Most of the bumper-to-bumper is on an 8 lane highway so if you just look at the 7 lanes I am not in, that means I pass something like a new car every 40 feet per lane.

That's 7 cars every 40 feet for 32 miles. That works out to be 982 cars every mile, or 31,424 cars. Even though the rest of the 32 miles is not bumper to bumper, I figure I pass at least another 4000 cars. That brings the number to something like 36,000 cars I pass every day.

Statistically, half of these are driven by females,18,000. In any given group of females 1 in 28 are having the worst day of their period. That's 642.

According to Cosmopolitan, 70% describe their love life as dissatisfying or unrewarding. That's 449.

According to the National Institute of Health, 22% of all females have seriously considered suicide or homicide. That's 98.

And 34% describe men as their biggest problem. That's 33.

According to the National Rifle Association 5% of all females carry weapons and this number is increasing.

That means that EVERY SINGLE DAY, I drive past at least one female that has a lousy love life, thinks men are her biggest problem, has seriously considered suicide or homicide, is having the worst day of her period, and is armed.

Flip one off? ..............I think not!
