Video Vixens (1975)
Brash and crazed cigar-chomping network TV executive Clifford Bradley (robustly essayed by Norman Field) decides to push the boundaries of good taste and moral decency by broadcasting an extremely bawdy and explicit stag movie awards show complete with equally racy commercials on live television. Bradley forces uptight film critic Gordon Gordon (well played to prissy perfection by Harrison Phillips) to host this filthy and depraved event. Director Ronald Sullivan, working from a blithely crude'n'crass script by Joel Gross, cheerfully panders to the lowest common denominator by milking the gloriously dirty jokes about porn, rape, sex, and certain parts of the human anatomy in the most admirably base, shameless, and tasteless manner imaginable (the TV commercial about a feminine hygiene product called Twinkle T**t and the sleazy "Dragnet" parody in particular are especially gut-busting). Moreover, the game cast tackle the vulgar material with commendable zest: The always enjoyable George "Buck" Flower has a field day as jolly smut flick director Rex Boorski and buxom blonde knockout Robyn Hilton makes for an ideal merry airhead as the incredibly vacuous Inga. Better still, 70's drive-in cinema starlets Terri Johnson, Maria Arnold, Sandy Dempsey, Kimberly Hyde, Angela Carnon, Robin Whitting, and the ever-adorable Cheryl Smith pop up in nifty bit parts. Of course, there's also plenty of tasty female nudity on display throughout (ladies will be thrilled to know that good ol' Buck also bares his beefy butt for his art). Jacques Urbont's bouncy'n'cheery score bubbles along to an infectiously happy beat. An absolute raunchy hoot. (IMDB Woodyanders) V&D
