Why so much hype?

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

A teenage babysitter seduces a middle-age assistant DA, causing trouble with his wife, and also causing him to be blackmailed by a biker's girl who wants her guy acquitted of murder charges.Sure, the flick never rises above cheap exploitation. And I could have done without hints of masochistic sex. Still, the 70-minutes is rather competently made considering its campy genre. The editing is smoothly done, the settings well-chosen, while Carey and Bellamy do well as the quarreling married couple. Even the plot manages a few wrinkles beyond the clichéd teen-age temptress and older man. Too bad Wymer (Candy) looks the part, but has trouble with her lines. There's also a 60's counter-culture subtext where Candy tempts middle-age George with the hippie credo of "free love". George finds this seductive, as did many of his buttoned-down generation. Anyway, for fans of 36-C and 38-D, there's ample exposure. Otherwise, it's drive-in forgettable.

The director of the movie, George Carey, plays an assistant District Attorney who has an affair with a babysitter (Patricia Wymer), meanwhile being blackmailed by a biker's girlfriend (Kathy Williams). It is not a movie that I would recommend to anybody but the exploitation completist. It has some funny moments -- such as when Carey's character accuses his girlfriend of being "kind of a hippie." It has all the obligatory exploitation bits -- implied rape, lots of nudity, some violence with a knife. The production values are a bit higher than most drive-in films from this era, as if the director hoped to actually make an impact on the mainstream. His film is hopelessly naive and has little to offer an audience then or now.

Just watched this little piece of exploitation and somewhat enjoyed it. Obviously, its a cynical take on the free love era. The idea that a eighteen year old baby sitter would be able to sneak her friends into her employer's house for a groovy band practice while they're away is ludicrous yet pretty damn funny. That she turns out to be a tramp is believable but her vicious side toward the end seems a bit too much. I don't feel like I'm giving too much away by saying this seems almost like the fantasy of a square henpecked lawyer who wants to take advantage of the freedoms of sexual liberation without facing any of the consequences. For some that's the American dream: flouting laws and societal conventions and still getting to keep your job and social standing. For someone like myself who didn't grow up in that era, a lot of its seems alien and laughable at times. Even those riding the crest of the sexual liberation movement were quick to see its downside though. I guess i would prefer this movie too some rosy glasses colored film that really thought peace and love would conquer the world's overwhelming problems. A star rating seems really hard to do with something like this. It has a plot. It has some twists and turns. Overall, its trash but I didn't feel like I'd completely squandered my time.

Cruddy drive-in flick, very amateurishly made. It stars Pamela Wymer as the (not particularly beautiful) babysitter, who ends up sleeping with her D.A. employer. The convoluted plot has a biker chick trying to blackmail the D.A. with the potential revelation of his daughter's homosexuality (just, for good measure, to put some not particularly sexy lesbian sex in the movie) to get her murderous boyfriend released. Wymer helps the D.A. turn the tables on the biker chick. For what it is, it's hardly the worst thing I've ever seen. There's some decent nudity (Wymer is the least attractive of the naked women), and, the one thing that makes it almost worth checking out, it has an awesome '60s soundtrack. I especially loved the theme song, "Candy", which sounds a little like The Assocation's "Windy".
