Holy moly, take me back to 1974 why don’tcha.  Lady Lust looks, sounds and feels like a student film we did for Speech 232 just to see if university officials really would take disciplinary action and toss us out of school.

One would hope that this is not the direction that so called “couple’s films” are headed.  The storyline just pops out at you from the heart of tract-house America.  Hubby and wifey are your basic suburban bores that win $1,000,000 in the lottery (and that part of the storyline gets quickly forgotten as hubby keeps his job as a postman).  Wifey hangs out with her wacky sister played by Edy Williams, who shows very little emotion.

Let’s take stock here.  The dialogue and set-ups were written by someone who has seen too many middle period Woody Allen pictures and doesn’t have one tenth of the Woodman’s talent but unfortunately won’t listen to his friends when they tell him that.  There’s a decent lesbian scene early on but you don’t actually see anybody get laid until almost half-way through this opus.  Any kink, like a brief whipping scene, is handled very perfunctorily – almost as if it was put there because the boys in market research said it had to be there.  I’ve seen more eroticism on cable TV (and looking in people’s bedroom windows) and better turgidisity on prime-time, mini-series soap operas.  Bleh, don’t waste your time.
