As you've seen from my previous reviews, I love old-school, vintage, classic porno. I'm talking about fuck films from a time when messing around was a swinging affair, and nobody liked to shave...anything. Which brings me to this classic gem of 70s XXX fun. Ecstasy in Blue is the type of porno that you could present to your friends with a proud smile on your face while saying "Everybody, you're going to love this." Ecstasy in Blue is a perfect example of what porn films were like back in the day and it's the kind of film that friends and girlfriends will get a real kick out of watching.
The plot for Ecstasy is simple in concept but turns out humorously odd when applied to film. Marc "10 1/2" Stevens is the leader of a sex cult and his personal lackey Charly (played by Bobby Astyr, who is becoming one of my favorite porn stars thanks to his comedic lines and comments) is in charge of finding willing women for his master. By accident Charly sends his sister to be one of 10 1/2's new sex slaves. The husband finds out, naked girls start dancing to a bongo drum, and group sex ensues.
While all of this may sound kinky, there is a surprisingly low amount of lengthy sex scenes in the movie. The director wants to keep the story going through his visuals but this often leads to cutting into the sex in order to show a shot of the castle (yes, there is a castle). When the shot cuts back we've already lost several valuable shots of hot sex. Moments later we have the money shot, the scene ends, and we're back into more plot points.
The sex is great to watch but the real redeeming quality of this porno is the comedic element that naturally develops from the dialog and 70s cinematography. Bobby Astyr's persona adds a light chuckle to the air while 10 1/2 struts around in make-up and a red robe that looks like it came from a Dungeons and Dragons convention. 10 1/2 made me forget about my hard on when he said "It's the only thing that's good to me. Only thing I have. Why was I blessed with such a big cock?" Today a line like this is nothing special, but when you see 10 1/2 say it in his flamboyant outfit (with his huge cock hanging out) you smile thinking "That's such an old porn line but it sounds so original when he says it!"
Ecstasy in Blue stands in the middle on it's rating because of the balance between sex and directorial style. The viewer is tossed back and forth between sex scenes and scene shots but you can't get upset because the natural humor makes you forget about the sex (for a minute). I recommend Ecstasy in Blue if you're looking for a classic, silly plot porno with sexy natural women and hairy, hung men. You won't blow a major load on this one, but you will break the ice at your next wine and cheese party. EcstasyinBlue
