The Blazer Girls (1975) User Reviews

Very sweet soft core which had more dollars than you think thrown at it.

WARNING: A Few Light Spoilers, not that you would really notice though, but I ticked the box just in case.

Yes, this is a soft core porno movie, but, it has a story and a sweet tale with a happy ending.

Five ladies of sweet virginity vow to loose that virginity in various ways to pay for a new School Bell at prestigious US All Girls boarding School.

The various ways they do this are comical and sometimes rather sweet (a blind boy gets a delightful reward for his efforts).

This movie may never see light of day until someone does a total worldwide Genome Project for every piece of recorded imagery as its basically in the soft core mid to late 70's dustbin along with many other such similar flicks. This is sad as Naughty Schoolgirls has several beautiful themes running through it including the philosophy of I Ching and a delightful piece of poetry.

It is full of tacky errors and poor sound management. Added to this, I am sure, is the fact that the school who was picked for the movie may never have known its content! As you can see from IMDb it does not exist in any format on this planet (try your nearest Star System!). It DOES deserve to be released, maybe by the British Film Institute (whom I give Honourable Plug as they released Celine and Julie Go Boating recently).

Its worth watching if you ever find it on Betamax (even VHS, who knows!).

Postscript Sept 2010

I managed to obtain a DVD from a US company called Cinema De Bizarre:

They do rate the quality as B+ and I was very happy with it, and, their US to UK postage was really cheap + its price at $12 was very cheap as a rarity DVD.

Not a TOTAL waste of time

This is a very weird sexploitation film that kind of reminded me of another sexploitation film of that era "Cherry Hills High" in that it seems much more interested in its bizarre and random plot than it is in pure softcore titillation.

A group of private-school seniors want to raise money to buy a new bell for their school (why exactly, I'm not sure), so they hit on the idea of prostituting themselves (naturally). The problem is they're all virgins (which is unlikely for older high school girls in the 70's and downright laughable given how mature all these actresses look here). This virgin-prostitute theme is similar to the early Nastassia Kinski vehicle "Boarding School", but that was a dubbed German production while this appears to be American (although it's hard to tell as the director is named Jean-Paul and the lead actress, Rebecca Brooke, was active in both European and American exploitation). Anyway, as in "Booarding school" the five heroines have a ridiculously hard time prostituting themselves. But the movie strangely goes for comedy and character development instead of exploiting this preposterous plot to its full sex-soaked potential.

I have never seen most of these actresses before or after this, but they're all reasonably pretty, even if only three of the five have nude scenes and only Rebecca Brook has a particularly graphic softcore sex scene. Pretty blonde Brook (also sometimes credited as Mary Medum) was a one-time girlfriend of Radley Metzger and debuted in his partially hardcore S-and-M themed "The Image" (aka "The Punishment of Anne"). She also made movies with Joe Sarno and French director Max Pecas and had a small role in the aforementioned "Cherry Hills High". The same year she played a teenager in this she also played the adopted MOTHER of a teenager in Max Pecas' "Felicia", so she was obviously pretty versatile. This does not compare with her sexier movies by a long shot. It's not particularly funny (although it's not painfully unfunny either). And while it might work as a sweet, nostalgic look at 70's adolescence, it's also too ridiculous to take very seriously. It's not a TOTAL waste of time though I guess. . .
