Shortly after I put a cake in the oven that I was baking for a friend,I decided that whilst I wait for the cake to cook,that I should take a look at a "Roughtie" that a friend had recently passed me,which would also allow me to see a title from DVD studio Something Weird for the first ever time.
View on the film:
Empthasised by a down'n dirty transfer from Something Weird,the traumatic scene of Viveca Hansen, (played by a very pretty actress,who is credited under the false name "Erotica Lantern") getting assaulted,has a strong,murky Horror atmosphere,thanks to writer/director/composer/cinematography/lighting and uncredited dubber of Lantern's voice Roberta Findlay keeping away from making the scene too graphic,by instead focusing on Lantern's pain from being pushed into the mud and dirt by her evil stepfather. (played by a nasty C.Davis Smith.)
Made at the time when she was in the middle of a messy divorce from husband/3D pioneer (who sadly died in a helicopter crash a few years later,when he travelled to show a group of investors the portable 3D camera that he had invented) Michael Findlay, (who despite being in the middle of a divorce,actually dubs Dr Rogers voice)Roberta Findlay uses the screenplay and bedroom scenes of the movie,as a way to make a decisive statement about not needing a "man's help" in making a very enjoyable,quick-moving "Adult" movie.
For the "bedroom" scenes in the film,Findlay uses each of them to reveal Viveca Hansen's changing sexual orientation,with the heterosexual scenes being shown in a non-sensual manner,whilst the very graphic lesbian scenes are filled with a smooth,sensual atmosphere.
With the screenplay of the film,Roberta Findlay strongly hints at the attitude that people had in the Adult industry at the time on a woman working behind,instead of in front of the camera,by showing all of the men in the movie trying to get Viveca to accept her "right" sexual orientation,instead of the one that Viveca finds herself desiring,at the altar of lust.
