IN THE SIGN OF LEO

[mmthos · 5/10 · 3 January 2023]

This studio did a series based on the signs of the zodiac with what was essentially a reperotory company of actors who played stock characters (villain, sidekick, sexy aunt, etc.) surrounding a hapless, sexually naive man-boy (Soltoff). All deliver corny jokes and slapstick, staples of Scandinavian erotic comedy, with elan. Though done with a sensitivity rarely seen in later porn through today, some of the hardcore sex scenes seem rather deadly serious and out of place in the midst of the other typically ridiculous shenanigans. Not much terribly original or worth following, except a couple of "follow the bouncing c___s" ballet sequences in which the men perform naked from the waist down, but for boots, stockings and garters, with women in crotchless pantaloons, and a glory hole scene ,devised by the evil Count to create a situation of mistaken identity to suit his purposes, as the participants are unable to put a face to the corresponding genitalia.

Cute enough.

For a Sunday afternoon??

This lovely astrology sign series has six titles. 'The Leo sign' version is one of my favorites. It deals with a plot whereby erotic diaries, just being published create turbulent situations among the persons involved. This all with flashbacks in a beauty full historian decor, shot with professional Danish actors and a professional director. This movie combines humor and slapstick. The difference with other movies is that it actually shows the spicy details. These hard core scenes are very well integrated in the story and become a natural part of it almost in an innocent way, almost like a family video for a Sunday afternoon. Wish there were a lot more movies like this..
