Very loose, but entertaining, early porn
lor_20 September 2010
For folks who like their sex films sloppy, I recommend LADY ZAZU'S DAUGHTER, a semi-improvised XXX comedy that works. Filmmaker Eduardo Cemano is so proud of his work that he includes out-takes and commentary at the end, nearly 30 years before the advent of DVDs made such self-aggrandizement standard procedure.

The original title is more appropriate, MILLIE'S HOMECOMING, as Arlana Blue's return (as Millie) causes an incestuous coupling with daddy Lord Zazu, hammily played by future journeyman porn director Fred J. Lincoln. It is interesting that incest is treated so lightly here, as it is usually a cause for melodrama in either porn or mainstream projects.

The show is stolen, however, by Dolly Sharp as Lady Zazu, often quite funny in her antics that artfully mix explicit sex with yocks. Fan fave Tina Russell delivers the goods as the sexy maid.

With a real script and more effort this could have been a quality, "real", film, but apparently there was no incentive to overachieve. Analogous to a burlesque show, give the fans some sex and cheap laughs and that's enough is the reigning philosophy.

Distributor Terry Levene, who acquired a following later on with his action films, released this theatrically under his Aquarius banner, and it has been reissued by several video companies.

Enjoyable and humorous 70's one day wonder

Warning: Spoilers
Exitable Lady Zazu (a delightfully zany portrayal by busty blonde Dolly Sharp) and her drunken husband Lord Zazu (an amusingly broad performance by Fred Lincoln) await the return of their lovely college student daughter Millie (attractive brunette Angel Spirit). Lady Zazu appeals to amorous maid Hazel (the gorgeous Tina Russell in excellent desirable form) to soothe her frazzled nerves while a severely inebriated Lord Zazu accidentally has sex with Millie. Writer/director Eduardo Cemano relates the sidesplitting story at a nonstop zippy pace, pitches the humor at a super wacky level, and pokes infectiously merry fun at the uptight morality of the privileged rich. Moreover, the taboo subject of incest is treated in a surprisingly lighthearted, yet still tasteful and inoffensive manner. Of course, this hardcore item covers all the pleasingly sensuous bases, with the expected explicit depictions of lesbianism, fellatio, cunnilingus, straight copulation, masturbation, and the inevitable climactic orgy. The enthusiastic cast attack the loopy material with tremendous zest, with the delectable Russell a particular stand-out throughout. Cemano's dynamic floating hand-held cinematography gives the picture an extra crackling vitality while the inspired use of familiar spirited classical music cues adds a bubbly touch. The obvious dubbed-in hokey groans and moans are simply uproarious. Good bawdy fun.
