The Curious Female

Malcontents in a future polyamourous society ruled by master computer watch prohibited 'ancient' films about sexuality in the late 1960s. While the script includes a bit of sly commentary and satire about contemporaneous morality and taboos, 'The Curious Female' is essentially an exploitation flic that features abundant (but limited) nudity and border-line soft-core sex scenes (some of which are quite unpleasant). There are also some silly sight-gags and badly-dated 'comic' stereotypes, but the 'bad trip' scene is effective and the central framing device (the future movie viewers) is amusingly tongue-in-cheek and well-done in a straight-faced way. A number of actresses sufficiently top-heavy to have been candidates for a Russ Meyer opus are on lingering display, including Angelique Pettyjohn, whose ample charms were likely responsible for the discharge of a number of phasers when she appeared as Shahna, the green-haired gladiatrix in the skimpy silver outfit who fought Kirk in the classic 'Star Trek' episode 'The Gamesters of Triskelion' (1968). Apparently rated X when released, the naughty film has not aged well and will likely appeal only to fans of off-beat science-fiction movies (especially anyone who, like me, enjoyed Doris Wishman's classic 'Nude on the Moon'(1961)).
