Pretty Bad Softcore Picture with Even Worse Hardcore Inserts

A Touch of Sex (1975)

* (out of 4)

Mark (Michael Pataki but under the name Harry Wilcox) gets his big break and his chance to help a new rock and roll band so he heads out to Los Angeles to make his dreams come true. Once there he gets caught up in the wild world of sex and drugs but is he seeing sex happen that's not really there?

Apparently A TOUCH OF SEX was shot in 1972 but it couldn't get any sort of release so in 1975 they added some hardcore footage to it and got it released. In all honesty, it's easy to see why the film wouldn't be able to get released but at the same time I've got to think that the added hardcore footage just made the film all the more embarrassing.

There's very little actual plot here. In all honesty, I'm really not sure if this film was meaning to be a comedy or what but the Pataki character seems to be a bit strange and never seems to know what's going on. Again, I think this was done for laughs and if so it's a complete failure. The softcore scenes really aren't all that interesting either and you can tell that the film is desperately trying to be BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS.

As far as the hardcore footage goes, it's clearly obvious that there aren't any of the real actors or actresses doing these scenes. The hardcore footage is basically close-up shots of various "parts" and it's so cheaply done that it's more distracting than anything else. Some of it is really stupid including a sequence inside a restaurant where in the actual "film" a woman has soup spilled on her but then we get an added bit of hardcore footage that is just silly.

Rene Bond appears briefly as does Sandy Dempsey but neither add much to the film. A TOUCH OF SEX needed a touch more of a re-write because what's here is quite bad.
