    Review(s): DVD The Harrad Experiment
    DVD Version Highly Edited


    I expect the seller to inform the buyer that the offered product has been highly edited when I read a technical description of a movie. I saw the original movie several years ago and was impressed with the method the director addressed several issues. Unfortunately, the DVD version of this movie cut key parts of the movie which detract from its overall message. Very disappointed with Amazon's limited movie description. CAVEAT EMPTOR.

    Campy Fun from the 70's!


    The Harrad Experiment is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. Unfortunately, it was meant to be a serious drama and not a comedy. Anyway, here are my 10 favorite moments from the film:

    1. Sheila arriving at the college and going over to a tree to hug it for no apparent reason.

    2. The nude yoga class.

    3. The overly dramatic music played as Wilson comes up the stairs before catching Stanley with Barbara.

    4. The egg contest at the restaurant.

    5. Stanley offering Sheila to the old man for $... and the old man's cape.

    6. Sheila's reaction to finding out about Stanley and Beth.

    7. The lady performer at the improvisational show.

    8. Tippi Hedren's fall during the badminton game.

    9. Tippi seducing Don Johnson on the college's front lawn.

    10. The dialogue at the ending (zoom, zoom, etc.).

    This was a very low budget film from the 70's and that fact painfully shows over the course of the movie. The acting, editing, music, and everything else is very poorly done. Of course, that's also what makes the movie so much fun to watch, even today. I would highly suggest trying to track down a copy of this campy classic. It's a fun way to spend an evening. A word of warning however, several of the DVD releases contain the version edited for televison! I have no idea why they would release the film in such a way. It's very poorly edited also: the scenes that contained nudity look choppy and several of the bad words are muted right out, they're not even dubbed over. So overall, this is a great movie that you should definitely try to see, just be careful as to which version you're getting!

    An Experiment In "Questionble Taste"


    This movie isn't great, but it's not that bad either. Made in the "free love" and sexual revolution of the 70's, the movie tries to explore the social ramifications of that school of thought. The acting and directing aren't bad, the dialogue is sometimes ludacris and at times very thoughtful. Buy this movie for an interesting look at the 70's (and lots of full frotal nudity--early pics of Don Johnson nude, pre Miami Vice)

    Pretty Baby DVD

    A semi-scandal upon its release in 1978, this Louis Malle film is set in a turn-of-the-century, New Orleans bordello and focuses on a girl named Violet (then-child actress Brooke Shields) whose imminent twelfth birthday signals her "readiness" to become a career prostitute. Typical of Malle, the outwardly forbidden nature of the story and relationships within are morally obscured by the immediate experiences and unqualified urges of the characters. The little heroine brings a distinctly youthful and innocent view to the milieu, and the introduction of a photographer (Keith Carradine)--who eventually marries Violet--in the brothel carries the suggestion that there is art and beauty to be explored there. Susan Sarandon is beguiling as Violet's mother, who seems to unfold in the... More Info about this DVD

    The Teacher DVD

    I first saw "The Teacher" at a drive-in theatre in Georgia in the summer of 1981. It is a drive-in classic and one of my favorite films. I longed for a video release, which finally happened several years later. Then, upon moving to England in 1999, I unfortunately had to leave my treasured video copy behind. Just recently, I was thrilled to discover it is available on DVD. I have recently purchased a multiregion player, so I ordered the film on DVD and had it shipped to me in England. I can truthfully say that I didn't think I would ever see this wonderful film again. The DVD contains a sparkling copy of the film, but unfortunately, offers few extras, not even the original trailer. But, I'm just happy to be able to watch the film again!!

    Killing Me Softly (Unrated Edition) DVD

    It's easy to identify the biggest attraction of Killing Me Softly: two fetching actors (Heather Graham, Joseph Fiennes) and lots of nudity--especially in the unrated version. It's harder to choose the bigger liability: the dialogue howlers (as Fiennes binds Graham in ropes, she says, "Sometimes I feel like I don't know you") or the incredibly obvious solution to the big mystery. The story is an unofficial update of Hitchcock's Suspicion: a new wife wonders whether her unbelievably charismatic husband might be a murderer. The Chinese filmmaker Chen Kaige (Farewell My Concubine) turns out to be exactly the wrong director for this overheated slice of l'amour fou in London, but with the hopeless pairing of Graham and Fiennes as the passionate lovers, he didn't have...

    Countess Dracula / The Vampire Lovers DVD

    Polish-born actress Ingrid Pitt's erotically supercharged presence is the highlight of this double bill of vampire chills from Hammer Films. In Countess Dracula, Pitt stars as an aging noblewoman (inspired by the real-life Erzebeth Bathory) who discovers the secret to eternal youth in the veins of young virgins, while in The Vampire Lovers (based on J. Sheridan LeFanu's "Carmilla"), Pitt's sensuous bloodsucker seduces Hammer starlets Madeleine Smith and Kate O'Mara and incurs the vengeful wrath of Peter Cushing. Countess is the more sober of the two films, with Jeremy Paul's script and Peter Sadsy's direction playing out more like an Old Dark House mystery than Hammer horror, while Lovers' aims for comic-book thrills with plenty of nudity and violence (much of...
