The Smut Peddler

Just saw this piece of art at the movies.. it was a bit of exciting experience to be witnessing its second visit on the movie screen. The Finnish premiere was on 1st of November 1968.

Actually this film is so rarely seen anywhere and the story tells that the ONLY copy of the film is here in Finland.. instead the film's trailer has been saved also abroad.

So what about the movie itself? It certainly contains huge amount of nudity, from the beginning to it's end. Still the storytelling plays important role, because most of the film is explained to the viewer at the same time things happen on the screen. Basically this movie gives us a cavalcade of girls, and a snotty "Dream Girl" -magazine publisher who's ambition is to increase the circulation of his magazine by showing "exotic" girls (for example Miss Austria :P) in the pages.

I'd say this film is definitely worth watching if it hits your town, because it might be the only change to see it :)

Sad to say, but i've seen generally much more better films in this genre. Somehow it lacked the fun and humor that most of the movies from that era had.
