Felicity - 1979

What It Is: An Australian sexploitation flick about one girl's sexual awakening.

Why I Watched It: Grindhouse turned me on to grindhouse cinema, my explorations led me to a few of the "classics".

What I Thought: After choosing the movie on a bit of a lark, I was surprised that Felicity was actually a decent piece of erotica. The fact that the movie still arouses it's targeted emotions some 30 years later is pretty fucking impressive! Felicity is an above average softcore film with a refreshingly plausible storyline.

The girls are pretty despite some outdated fashion and some unruly standards of pubic hair maintenance. Of course, these are my own standards so you may disagree completely. All in all, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised if you pick up Felicity for a fun softcore romp.

Highlights: Felicity and Me Ling going to the bathhouse was very sexy, the plot makes sense, Me Ling was hot, and Felicity's English accent was a treat throughout!

Who Should See It: Anybody interested in "classic" softcore, sexploitation, or grindhouse.

How Soon: Felicity seems to be immune to the passage of time. Its still fulfilling its purpose even 30 years later. I'm thinking you can wait as long as you like!

I'm sure it's a very entertaining movie for some. Alas, I fell asleep when the man with the giant 'stache was having his way with her on the hood of a car. *Yawn* I'm sure the reason I passed out had nothing to do with the fact that I hadn't slept in 44 hours, nothing at all ;-)

I'm guessing the lack of sleep had more than a little to do with it. I think the mustache guy was only 20 or 30 minutes into the film. :-)

Cool! Softcore porn! And I'm glad to hear you're a fan of grindhouse cinema... there's actually a bundle of grindhouse flicks coming your way as part of the Tara Tainton Movie Club. Shall I forward the collection sooner rather than later??
