Review of Maid in Sweden

Sweet, naive, yet lovely and enticing virginal 16-year-old innocent country girl Inga (the delectable Christina Lindberg of "Thriller: A Cruel Picture" fame in her film debut) goes to the city to spend the weekend with her older, more worldly and experienced sister Greta (yummy blonde Monica Ekman) and her cad boyfriend Casten (the extremely jerky Krister Ekman). Inga gets in touch with her budding sexuality, loosens up, and learns the joys of booze, dancing, and intercourse. Casten's equally loutish friend Bjorn (homely beanpole Leif Naeslund) forces himself on Inga on their first date, but she falls for the creep anyway! When Inga decides to take a bath one fateful day, Casten naturally can't help but join the luscious lass for some splashy carnal fun (can anyone blame the guy?). Director Dan Wolman relates the sordid coming-of-age story at a steady pace and delivers plenty of tasty nudity and steamy soft-core sex scenes. The central plot clearly imitates Joe Sarno's sexploitation classic "Inga." (Ironically, Lindberg went on to appear in the Sarno flicks "Swedish Wildcats" and "Young Playthings"!). Not surprisingly, Wolman shows off Christina's awesomely abundant physical attributes as often as possible: Lindberg disrobes with pleasing regularity, masturbates in bed after catching Greta and Casten making love, cools off with a shower (shot in sensuous slow motion for extra erotic effect), and performs her sex scenes with scorching lusty abandon. Moreover, she also manages to deliver a touching and natural performance in her first lead role. Hasse Welin's pretty cinematography leers over Christina's fabulously voluptuous figure with undisguised lascivious intent while the catchy soundtrack boasts plenty of tuneful folksy rock songs. Highly recommended viewing for Christina Lindberg fans.
