There's been a lot of talk lately about how adult films are not what they used to be. Here's a chance to take a look at what an average adult drive-in would offer in the early '70s. These two tapes of old movies give a realistic feeling—complete with scratchy film, gurgly sound, cheap sets, poor lighting, and lousing acting.

In Sex Ed. 101, Harry Reems plays a teacher who is constantly mauled by the girls in his class and the female principal. This film was transferred to video a little late because it is fairly red. There is also a thick scratch down the left side which remains during most of the feature. In Pole Position, Reems plays a minor role without his trademark mustache and the story line is non-existent. In both tapes, by today's standards, the sexual action is only warm, the close-ups are below average and the inadequate lighting produces too many shadows.

If the viewer realizes he is getting two old mediocre films, he will probably be mildly amused. But the video packaging does not reveal this. These tapes do serve two purposes, though. They give an interesting trip down memory lane and they make the viewer appreciate how much the quality of adult films has improved in the last 15 years!
