Along with That
Tender Touch, this 1970's dykesploitation classic is one of the first
releases in the Wolfe Vintage Collection. Housewives Denise (Elizabeth Plumb)
and Adria (Alisa Courtney) drop their husbands off at the airport for their military
assignments - and then the fun begins. They observe a lesbian couple at
lunch holding hands and kissing in the car, prompting longing in Denise and quite
a curiosity in Adria. With the older Denise taking the lead, the two become lovers
themselves and spend their out of bed time frolicking at the amusement park, mini
golfing and horseback riding. But eventually Adria gets bored of their relationship
and starts dating Jim (John Aprea), a man they meet together at the Santa Monica
Pier. After breaking it off with Denise and telling her they must only
be friends now, her former lover is left to try to forget her sorrows. Denise
finds herself stoned at a party and having sex with the hostess (Elizabeth Knowles)
on top of a pool table - until she freaks out and runs, thinking only of her love
for Adria. In an unusual twist for a film made in 1975, both Adria's husband
and boyfriend Jim dump her, and Adria and Denise actually walk off together again
in the final shot.
