Teenage Dessert (1976)

** (out of 4)

Ray Dennis Steckler directed this hardcore film about a teenage girl on roller skates who goes around to various locations and spies on people having sex. This is a Steckler porno so one really shouldn't expect too much of a plot and at just 59-minutes there's really not too much of a story here but then again, are people coming to this for a hard-hitting story? As I've gone through Steckler's hardcore pictures this one here is perhaps the closest to a "normal" hardcore pic. I say that people while there's still some weirdness on display, for the most part this one here plays out a lot more like the rest of the 70's hardcore films. Being Steckler who know you're still going to get some weird scenes and they are on display here including one where a man turns a woman's you-know-what into a banana split. There's also a sequence with three women who start off with dildo's before turning to the fruits and veggies. There's also a large orgy sequence, which is perhaps the best shot scene from any of the Steckler porno's that I've seen. Is the film any good? For the most part I found it to be entertaining, although the narration from the roller skating girl really didn't add anything. I think fans of the 70's porn will have enough sex here to keep them entertained but in the end I think it's Steckler's fans who will be the ones seeking this out.

Worthless loop carrier

[lor_ · 1 July 2015]

Yet another dubious compilation film from Ray Dennis Steckler under his Cindy Lou Sutters nom de film. This one is worse than usual.

Tired format has two Peeping Thomasinas: girls on roller skates in Venice, California who in reaction shots are purportedly looking in windows at sex acts, though all we see is a face behind a curtain. Most of the fake peeping is by a "Mona Miller"; film ends with her lesbian scene (presumably newly shot bit of footage) of her hooking up at last with second peeper, her friend Chrissie.

Title derives from two of the segments involving that antiquated porn trope of eating whipped cream off a woman's body; in this case bananas are added (plus a cucumber dildo in one stag loop). MOS with insipid femme narration, film is terminally boring with generic stag film sex as content.

As in other Steckler loop carriers, the narration includes extraneous racist remarks, left in the DVD reissue for historical accuracy. One segment has a pizza man being humped, with several voice-over references to "Dago" included.

Worst offense here is inclusion of Steckler regular Mike Ranger, in outtakes wearing his familiar arm cast, so that he is inserted primping at a mirror or merely staring with SEG on his face, as if he were present during the sex scenes. Steckler has made a virtual mini-genre out of the film technique, dating back to classic Russian Silent Cinema, where cutting back and forth to a reaction shot changes the entire context of intervening footage. At least a dozen of his fake- movies are entirely built around this principle.

Antoinette Maynard and Oriita de Chadwick are the most recognizable performers in the recycled loop footage, and an orgy at an elaborate dinner party looked to me like either an excerpt scene or loop I had seen in a German film, appropriated (pirated?) for this junker.
