Here’s another one of those delicious sexy comedies from the seventies that has been restored to Blu-ray quality, to the satisfaction of us lusty males (and females) who have fond memories of these films. Directed by Jean Rollin (1938-2010), under the name Michel Gentil, one of the masters of the erotic genre, as well as horror movies, “Schoolgirl Hitchhikers” is another delightful entry of classic erotic films that I’m glad came back, as best as ever.
Monica (Joëlle Coeur) and Jackie (Monica Stark, aka Gilda Arancio) are two free-spirited, young and attractive ladies that “decided to spend the holidays in the great outdoors.” While walking through the countryside, they discover an apparently abandoned mansion, and decide to stay the night there. Bad move. As it turns out, the big house is serving as a hideout for a “small-time hood,” who “adopts” both ladies. The lucky thief has his fun with Monica and Jackie, who, by the way, are also lovers. Unfortunately, when the owner of the stolen property shows up to the mansion to collect his stuff from the thief, they can’t find it, so the gangster blames the girls for the mysterious disappearance of the goods. Enter a private detective and his beautiful assistant, and add more suspense and sexuality to the story.
“Schoolgirl Hitchhikers” is fun to watch, as the characters are silly and having a good time. Of course, this being a French erotic comedy, there’s plenty of nudity and soft-core sex. Another jewel of the seventies. (France, 1973, color, 79 min)
