Constance Money

Sorry I can't be of more help.

The premise is very simple; John Leslie is suffering from premature ejaculation until a mysterious figure bestows a magical balm upon him. Suddenly he finds himself afflicted with a constant erection and an insatiable appetite.

There are some very interesting scenes in the film but it felt very incoherent to me. It has moments of outright slapstick - and is clearly set up as a comedy - but also contains some very debauched scenes. One of the encounters between Leslie and Money starts off with them eating dinner and quickly escalates into a frenzied session involving the food itself. The climactic orgy also involves the participants smearing themselves with aphrodisiac-laden food.

I should point out that I've only seen this once and should probably watch it again. There might be some rationale to the seemingly awkward juxtaposition of comedy and morbidity (I'm referring particularly to the final scenes) but I suspect this is just symptomatic of a fledgling genre. A lot of the movies of this period contained similarly disparate elements - for example, the S&M scenes in movies like The Ecstasy Girls and 800 Fantasy Lane .

Finally, the disc itself is very poor - one of the worst in my collection. The image is soft and the sound muffled. This is particularly regretable because the film has some very cinematic sequences, particularly the underwater shots of a naked Constance Money that open the movie.
