SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Leofwine_draca CINDY AND DONNA is a dull and plot less sex film about the sexual awakening of a pair of sisters. It's a showcase for a pair of actresses willing to show as much topless nudity as is possible in a film, and the whole running time consists of one or the other going to bed with variously ugly middle-aged actors.There's no story, no characterisation, no narrative, other than a ludicrously dumb twist ending that'll have you laughing out loud. The film strives to court controversy by having one of the girls be underage and the other making out with her own stepfather, but instead of being sleazy, this just comes across as laughably poor. No surprise that poverty row studio Crown International Pictures were behind it...

Neil Welch Cindy and Donna are half-sisters. Cindy, the younger, is sexually curious but hesitant. Donna, however, has some miles on the clock and is happy to "experiment" and more, as is friend Karen. Mom drinks. Dad has a fling with a nubile 17-year old stripper, not to mention Donna. Etc.This 1970 movie stars unknowns and, I suspect, amateurs. The four main young women are all attractive, take their clothes off for extended periods, and writhe around a lot in preparation for simulated sex. And that's about it, really. There's no plot discernible, and no significant character development (Cindy goes from "I don't think I want to" to "Oh, alright then.") Production values are low. Acting is poor. It seems to be no more than a vehicle for showing breasts, and an occasional flash of pubic hair and, for the most part, it does so with a singular lack of eroticism.Alicia Friedland, as under-age stripper Alice, has a spectacular bosom but, sweet merciful heavens, her go-go dancing does go on and on. As a result of which, this film is not on my "Recommended" list.

Uriah43 "Cindy Weeks" (Debbie Osborne) and "Donna Weeks" (Nancy Ison) are half-sisters living together with their alcoholic parents. "Ted Weeks" (Max Manning) is Cindy's father who stays out late getting drunk and sleeping around with younger women. "Harriet" (Sue Allen), the mother of both Cindy and Donna, complains about everything while getting completely drunk as well. Needless to say, neither Cindy nor Donna have role models worth emulating and their values suffer as a result. Donna spends most of her time with her boyfriend, "Greg" (Tom Benko) smoking pot and having sex. Cindy happens to see them one night and is revolted by it. Not long afterward she catches Ted coming home extremely drunk and having sex with Donna as well. Noticing that Donna doesn't seem too perturbed about it the next morning, Cindy decides to smoke pot with her best-friend "Karen" (Cheryl Powell). One thing leads to another and soon Cindy starts becoming more interested in sex and turns to Karen, who happens to be sexually liberated, for advice. Anyway, I bought this in a 2-set DVD under the title of "Drive-In Cult Classics" which features 8 little-known films made specifically for a period in time when the drive-ins were in desperate shape. Although they were quite popular in the 50's, drive-ins began to steadily recede through the 60's and reached a critical time in the 70's. One of the reasons for this was due to the fact that drive-ins operated only at night and during the summer. As a result they had a limited number of times they could show a movie. Indoor theaters, on the other hand, could show a movie 5 or 6 times a day. So the major studios began to send their first-run films to indoor theaters since it was more profitable. That left the drive-ins having to settle for B-movies and eventually X-rated films. This particular film is an example. While it isn't quite X-rated, it does have quite a few scenes featuring nudity and sex. Surprisingly, although a movie of this sort usually doesn't have any actors worth mentioning, I thought both Debbie Osborne and Nancy Ison performed fairly well. But the dialogue, plot and supporting cast left much to be desired. So much so that I think it's safe to say that this film was definitely not so "groovy". I have rated it accordingly.

Woodyanders Sweet and naive innocent Cindy (cute redhead Debbie Osborne) is eager to learn all about the joys of sex and dope. Her brash, slutty older half-sister Donna (hot brunette Nancy Ison) sets an excellent example for Cindy to emulate with her loose and uninhibited escapades. Pretty soon Cindy gets into the swing of things: she engages in a heavy petting session with an amorous beach bum, smokes pot for the first time, and gets more intimate with her outgoing best gal pal Karen (foxy looker Cheryl Powell). Meanwhile, all is not well at home: Their bitter'n'boozy shrewish mother Harriet (deliciously overplayed with eye-rolling hammy brio by Suzy Allen) drinks herself to besotted oblivion while their henpecked pop has an adulterous affair with a luscious barely legal teenage stripper. Director Robert Anderson and writer Barry Clark really hit all the necessary seedy bases with this terrifically tawdry'n'trashy tale of adolescent angst and middle class dysfunction: we've got copious tasty female nudity, lurid soft-core sex scenes, a crude, leering, downbeat tone, excessive drug use, an incredibly dippy, yet catchy and groovy theme song, a great surprise bummer ending, and an especially bleak depiction of blue collar ennui and despair. Better still, there's a veritable avalanche of nice'n'naughty carnal activity featured throughout: standard straight copulation, lesbianism, voyeurism, masturbation, infidelity, and even a truly startling instance of father/daughter incest. Robert O. Ragland's funky score neatly alternates between jaunty bluegrass tunes and hard-burning fuzztone guitar rock noise. J. Barry Herron's rough'n'grainy cinematography further enhances the overall scuzziness. Granted, the delectable young lady leads aren't exactly the most capable actresses, but man do they look absolutely smoking in their birthday suits. A wonderfully raunchy treat.
