"Caught In The Can" is a short film with a running time of about 25 minutes. A couple of guys come up with a bizarre plan to dress up as women. They stand on a street corner and solicit sex from men. Apparently, their plan is to rob a guy once they get him alone. A cop busts them before they are able to find any takers and they are thrown into jail. Evidently the cop has awfully poor eyesight because he really thinks they are women and places them in a women's holding cell. One of the guys ends up having sex with one of the women. Good for a few laughs and some rather explicit softcore fun. 3/10

Dumb burlesque sketch stretched to over an hour
lor_20 January 2015
I originally saw CAUGHT IN THE CAN as a short subject excerpt on the tail-end of one of Something Weird's videos. More recently I caught up with the full feature uncut from Alpha Bue Archives, and unfortunately the short was better.
Gag is straight out of BOSOM BUDDIES, but porno division. (Too bad Tom Hanks isn't old enough to have started out his career in soft-core movies.) Gerard Broulard and Ron Darby are in need of cash to pay the rent and devise a harebrained scheme to dress as femme whores, entice some sailors and then roll them. They could have saved some bread on costumes and shot this as gay porn instead.
Only moments after they station themselves on a street corner the police arrest them and take them to the hoosegow. Rest of the film is repetitive and deadly dull (especially since this was made pre-XXX). The ruse of being women lasts for longer than is credible and their humping the 3 other women in their cell, plus busty (and deadpan) jail matron Linda Vroom is yawnsville.
The only gag I found amusing was when the guys signed in at jail, with Darby announcing he's Alice Friedland, which is strictly an inside reference to then-busy soft-core actress of the same name. In retrospect we get it because she has been rediscovered (by ABA), her tribute DVD issued in the same release as this film's package devoted to Casey Lorraine. Casey appears as one of the femme prisoners, but makes little impact this time out.
