THREE
RIPENING CHERRIES
(dir:
Carlos Tobalina, 1979)
“RIPE
for ACTION ready to be plucked...'”
Don't
you just love sisters? Well, thankfully Uncle Tobalina has a film
just for you! What we have here are the three sisters. Sally, Lucy
and Ann played by Dorothy Lemay (TABOO,
CHOPSTIX),
Misty Regan (CHAMPAGNE ORGY,
BABY CAKES)
and my favourite, Brooke West (FANTASY,
THE BLONDE).
After a hard day at school, the girls go home and ask their mum Rose,
played by Kitty Shayne (SEXUAL
HEIGHTS,
UNDULATIONS)
all about sex. She tells them about her experiences when she was
their age. We find out her virginity was robbed by a family friend
leading her to seek out compassion whenever and wherever she could.
Her journey to find the PERFECT orgasm comes to an end when she meets
the man who would become her husband. How very aromatic indeed!
Inspired by her stories, the girls retire to their bedroom and well,
they get to grips with each other whilst fantasising about various
boys and teachers from their school. Why wasn't my high school
experience like this!? It's not all happy days for the girls however,
as they find out that a couple of guys they want to party with are
gay. Now it sounds more like my high schoo.... No, wait!
OK,
where do I begin? I found this a rather tedious ride in all honesty.
Oh don't get me wrong, seeing Brooke West involved in some girly fun
is a blast! I just found it to be yet another rather lazy, uninspired
piece of smut. I really dig Tobalina, but I'm getting rather tired of
seeing group based scenes. I did really enjoy the use of music,
Carlos always seems to have good music in his films. What stood out
this time was hearing the theme tune to Terry and
June
(American friends should look up the show on Youtube for a good
laugh!), which brought a big smile to my face! All in all, if your
wanting pure action, this is a great film. The sex is of a very high
quality which is to be expected from Tobalina. Overall, I found it
about 20 minutes a bit too long. Oh well, the next film has one of my
all time favourites!
SENSUAL FIRE
SENSUAL FIRE
(dir:
Carlos Tobalina, 1979)
“The
tremendous allure of YOUNG SEX'”
Carrying
on the whole family theme, we move on to Sensual Fire. Jamie Gillis
(THE OPENING OF MISTY BEETHOVEN, WATERPOWER)
stars as Roy. He has recently fallen in love with Laura, played by
Jesie St. James (RANDY, HOTLINE). Things are going
wonderfully for the for the pair. All that changes when Laura's young
daughter Teena, played by Dorothy Le May (TABOO, BLIND
FURY) returns and shakes things up. Whilst she is in her room
having some lonely fun, little does she know Roy's office is next
door and he has a peep hole. He begins to watch her which eventually
leads to him constantly fantasising about making love to her. To try
and shake his mind off this filth, he confides in a shrink friend (we
all have one right?). His suggestion is to cleanse his palette and go
visit the local cat house. Here he meets cute secretary Glory, played
by the blonde goddess herself, Serena (PLEASURE PALACE,
PRISONER OF PARADISE). This unfortunately doesn't work so he
confides in his friendly neighbourhood man of the cloth, Father
Carlos, played by Mr. Tobalina himself. His words of wisdom are to
seek out the woman who Teena reminds him of. Yep, I'm converting
right now too! Will this plan work? Will the Lord be looking over
Roy? Get on your knees and find out for yourself!
Considering
we get to see Gillis and Serena getting down, this really isn't that
special of a film. Sure, there is enjoyment in the ludicrous
storyline and plot development, but it just drags on. Jamie Gillis
steals the show as he always does, but even he can't save this one.
As is often the case, it's a very well shot film, with some great
lens flare shots and wonderful location cinematography. The music is
great too, a mix of down and dirty with cheery upbeat synth thrown
in. You will definitely recognise one or two of the tracks. Just like
Three Ripening Cherries, the film is a tad too long for my tastes and
could potentially be cut down by 10 or 20 minutes.
Overall, this isn't really a stand out release in terms of film selection. Both films are rather weak and forgettable. I would say if you're looking to complete your Tobalina collection, then it's perfect for you. If you're looking for a stand experience, maybe pass on this one. What the films lack in substance, they make up for it in style. As always, the films are remastered to an obscenely high quality. A tip top restoration and presentation job from Vinegar Syndrome. As a small bonus, trailers for both films are included so there's a plus point for collectors!
You can buy this DVD release directly from Vinegar Syndrome here, as well as your favourite online retailers.
