Storyline
Featured review
Two films share this title; 1971 SWV one stinks, while 1976 Silvera is a winner
The database formerly lumped two completely different films under this title. The earlier one (from 1971) I'm reviewing from Something Weird has a no-name cast and a female teacher rather than the male mentioned in the plot synopsis. Separately I will also review the 1976 film starring Joey Silvera as a horny political science professor, in a VCX DVD release.
Simple in the extreme, this version is titled The Finishing School and consists mainly of two lengthy scenes within its all-sex format. First scene has bespectacled Miss Penbrook giving her 4 female students a sex demo as the finale in their training to please their future husbands. Despite having been made several years after Women's Lib made the scene, film perversely assumes an earlier era of obedience and subservience, which comes off as stupid rather than amusing.
A very tall dude appropriately named Mr. Johnson is enlisted as the sex object for Penbrook's demo. She shows how to arouse him, give him a blow job and then have sex, during which she loses the glasses. She's unattractive with or without eye wear. Second scene is an orgy, where 4 guys are brought out to service the 4 girls on the carpeted classroom floor, very boringly photographed in real time.
Evidently truncated version preserved by Something Weird has the results illustrated by two very brief additional scenes. A bride is carried into the bedroom by the groom and hubby is aghast to find her masturbating when he returns, but she gives him a blow job, proving she has in fact learned more than just "how to cook, sew, shop and keep house" per Penbrook's syllabus. Film is so cheap that the bright red rug on the honeymoon bedroom set is the same one used for the makeshift classroom scenes.
Finale is a truncated scene with a blonde bride in a hayloft (!). She strips for her groom as the theme from "Goldfinger" plays incongruously on the soundtrack and film ends abruptly before there is any sex. Total run time for SWV is a mere 55 minutes.
Besides the John Barry "Goldfinger" music, film is laden with syrupy versions of many familiar pieces, unpaid for, some relevant and most arbitrarily chosen, including: "The House of the Rising Sun," "Wichita Lineman," "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me," "Up on the Roof" and "As Tears Go By" (that Stones' song would have broken the bank all by itself).
