I needed a shorter musical this morning since I was heading off to the theater today, so I had this film ready for just such an emergency. It was from 1976 and it was around 97 minutes long. It worked perfectly as I woke up early this morning.
The First Nudie Musical was a strange title, and the strange title fit right in with this bizarre film.
In an attempt to save the movie studio he took over from his father, Harry Schechter (Stephan Nathan) had been filming pornos. However, the ideas were drying up when he came up with something different: the first porno musical.
Harry, along with his assistant Rosie (Cindy Williams), having to film it in two weeks or lose the studio, went about the steps in creating a musical porno, despite the hurdles that were placed in their path.
How to describe this? I’ll start off with this. It is stupid. I mean really stupid. Yet, it had some real laughs to it. The story was implausible and unlikely, but it did lead to some very funny humor… and, honestly, lots of nudity.
Cindy Williams was easily the best character on the screen, getting all the best lines and most of the funniest interactions.
The songs were mostly funny too. They were filled with innuendo and lines that surpassed innuendo and were literally sexual in nature.
The story was really just an excuse to parade mostly naked women (and some men) around the stage and to throw in songs with sexual jokes. That was really all this was.
I did laugh quite a bit during this film so I do not think it was totally a flop. It was a film I would have liked much more as a teenager.
