- TriviaThe budget was so low that they could not afford to mock-up an ad printed in a fake newspaper for the Blands' swingers advertisement so production designer Robert Schulenberg instead designed an ad and ran it in the "L.A. Weekly," an alternative newspaper. Unlike the vast number of replies the Blands got in the movie, the real ad attracted only one response.

Featured review
The Basic plot: A bland couple, The Blands, composed of a wine fanatic and a shapely nurse , live in an apartment house filled with sex-pervert swingers , and when they want to go out and own a restaurant in the country ,but don't have enough money ,so they become bondage merchants who kill their clients for cash.But, Raoul, a handsome young thief, comes in and violates their plans.....
The praise: Dementedly funny,original and quirky, you really can swallow it up. The comic acting by Mary Woronov, Robert Beltran, Paul Bartel, and Doris the Dominatrix is perfect, and the satiric, ironic,darkly comic side is played to a luscious extent. The bondage merchant scenes are hilarious so much that I can't tell you, and the theme song adds deeply to the ironic side........Enjoy!
