American-style bombast & exploitation   
"French Heat" [1975: W. Germany. Producer & Director: Henri Pierre Duval. Run Time: 60']
Featuring: Antoinette, Anne Devos {Narration: Carolyn Du Brando}
Jacques Sanders
Here is one of the first imported smut movies which utilized U.S.A.-styled bombast and exploitation. This is a 60-minute vignette feature. The more I investigate this movie, the more I am convinced that all the names are faked. The person deserving credit is our film editor. I believe what we actually have are seven old(er) silent German 8mm loops [blown up to 35mm], of which some feature simulated sex (or utilized spliced-in hardcore inserts). A female narrator was hired. Stock footage of Paris was grommed. The credits were padded with French-sounding names [21 performers?! -- not even close]. Did it work? Yes. That it was exported to the U.S.A. (and real French pornos were not), suggests it did well.
This is an alluring movie on several levels. In these vignettes, we glimpse some performers which might have been considered scraping the bottom of the barrel [i.e.: We have some homely people in here.]. In the simulated vignettes, watch the camera angles. Note how they were shot to give the impression of explicit activity without actually being explicit.
The one vignette which may cause you to shake your head sideways is the first-person [gonzo] {you are the male having sex with the female} dive & swive scene. As far as the narration and audio is concerned, it is o.k. Some of the stock music is impressive; and some of the comments by C. Du Brando are of the jaw-dropping variety (A domme lesbian became that way when she was raped at age 14!? [We don't view.]).
