This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
... View MorePerfect cast and a good story
... View MoreThis is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
... View Morea film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
... View MoreGinger has been taking martial arts classes! Well, she's still a beginner, but the leap forward in her fighting abilities is already hugely noticeable. It's like watching a different character between "Ginger" and "Girls Are For Loving" - and I mean that as a compliment for the latter. Other new elements in this film that separate it from its predecessors are a female main villain, who brings an interesting new dynamic between her and Ginger as both of them are not used to being challenged by other women, an interracial romance for Ginger, and a plot with more emphasis on politics and economy rather than a simple "abduct girls and use them as sex slaves" story. "Girls Are For Loving" is not a great film - it suffers from the usual pacing problems of the series; all three films feel twice as long as they are - but it is easily the best of this trilogy, and the only one I am likely to rewatch sometime soon. ** out of 4.
... View MoreAs with the first two "Ginger" movies(Ginger and The Abductors), Girls are for Loving is fun in that cheesy 70s way that you will really only find in films from this decade. This one has the biggest budget of the three, the most competent actors, the best direction - in point of fact, it is easily the best made of the three. Cheri Caffaro as Ginger seems so at ease with her role in this one that her performance(and that word can be defined in oh so many ways) out-shines her previous two stints as the James Bond girl out this time to save some trade treaty fiasco. Plot-wise this one is sketchy at best, but you won't care what with Ginger being naked most of the time and when she is not she has on skin-tight white pants or some other revealing outfit. Aiding and abetting her is Jocelyne Peters as the villainess Ronnie St. Clair(love that name). Peters is beautiful, can act, and I just loved that voice. I am surprised she really didn't go on to do much after this film, but then being tied spread-eagled nude and then forced upon by a male in similar dress might not have spurred that career the way she might have hoped - too much laying on the job one might suppose. The film has a nice pace, lots of inferior yet entertaining action scenes, and some great one-liners(most delivered by Ginger). The low point of the film is Caffaro dressed in a blue fur belting out a song with lines like "Cheese entertains," etc... Caffaro cannot sing very well, but then again the scene is save by the number ultimately being a striptease act. While my favourite of the series is the first for more sentimental reasons and some God-awful sets and acting fashioned into enjoyable entertainment, Girls are for Loving is first-rate sleazy entertainment. Where is Caffaro now? Shouldn't Quentin Taranteno being using her in a film. She would be perfect in one of his vehicles.
... View MoreThe third of the 'Ginger' series and the one that had all the money spent on it. For much of it's length this is a cheap, crap Bond wannabe. But it also wants to have it's gutsy, attractive star, Cheri Caffaro naked most of the time (when dressed she has a different costume every time) and it also wants to be a bondage movie. So, along the often tedious way but especially during the more concentrated last half an hour we get lots of tying up culminating, it has to be said, in a couple of super naked spread eagle tie downs. Even that is not all. Our bound girls are told by the other (on both occasions) that they will be raped whilst in this restricted position AND that they will not be able to resist enjoying it. I cannot recall another film where this idea of women trying NOT to enjoy the forced act is made so explicit. The fact that with the role reversal revenge we get it all again with exactly the same connotations rams home the point (as you might say)!
... View MoreThis is the last of the "Ginger" movie series and had a higher budget than the first two films. Bridgette Bardot look-alike Cheri Caffaro is back as Ginger, a private investigator hired by the CIA to infiltrate a spy ring.The movie opens with a man and a woman making love in a small A-frame lodge. Suddenly the bad guys burst in and grab the man as the woman runs, naked, out into the snow where she is caught by a bad guy and bound to a tree. He, being a bad guy, promptly has sex with her and then, with a broad grin, shoots her. In fact, at various points in the film, all of the evil people show broad grins (must've been part of the Evil Guy recruiting campaign - "Ok, fill out this form and show me your grin.")The mastermind behind the spy ring is a woman, Ronnie St. Claire, and the CIA has hired Ginger to bodyguard the next probable victim of St. Claire's ring. Sure enough, Ginger and her escort are kidnapped and tied up naked and tortured (well, actually more like taunted and fondled) by St. Claire and her henchmen. Not a girl to lay around, Ginger manages to escape from her bonds and with the help of her escort she captures St. Claire and ties her to the same table to which Ginger had been tied. The kidnapped diplomat/spy that Ginger had been sent to recover is then told to molest St. Claire so that she'll regret ever having been Evil.In between the beginning of the film and the end, just about everybody ends up naked and bound in one way or another. One interesting scene is: two Evil henchman have been captured and bound naked with their hands above their heads. Actually, they aren't completely naked - they've been dressed in metal jock straps that have an electrical wire poking out right about where their manhood is supposed to be. Ginger flips a switch and the Evil Guys twitch a bit as Ginger gets them to reveal secret information about St. Claire and the hide-out.And then there's the scene where Ginger, as a test by St. Claire, is strapped naked to a table and told to resist the efforts of her henchman to get her aroused. She fails the test, of course. This scene is repeated at the end, only its St. Claire bound naked on the table and molested by the diplomat. What goes around comes around.Worth seeing if you don't mind 1970's "B" movie quality film. See the commennts for the first two films, too.
