Downtown? Downbeat

I am a self-confessed Franco fan, but this little number from his mid period (in my view his most creative) does not rank up there with his best.

He wheels out the "Barbed Wire Dolls"/"Women in Prison" team for a less edgy exercise than these WIP outings. Yes, Lina Romay, Monika Swinn and Martine Stedile are all there- and yes they get naked (a lot). However it is all curiously unerotic and the plot and love scenes are all painted by numbers. There is none of the sharp edges of his WIP flicks-and frankly it is less fun for that. Just a lot of hotel bedrooms, interior and close-up gynae shots.

Franco himself stars as Al Perreira (a private detective) in this one. He doesn't get naked. At least we are all thankful for that .....
