Details

Billy is a teenager and enthusiastic photo hobbyist who takes pictures of his mother carrying on with another man, but is too naive to realize his mother is engaging in more than innocent horseplay. When he innocently shows his pictures to Daddy, he unwittingly starts a melee that ends in Daddy's accidental death and Mommy's mental collapse and confinement in a hospital. Enter Aunt Janet, Daddy's sister, to take care of Billy. Supposedly a frigid woman who "can't stand men", Aunt Janet is nevertheless loving and affectionate with young Billy, and when she sees the fatal snapshots, she even takes their relationship to the next level. But can their happy life together survive the return from hospital of a still-disturbed Mommy?

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Michael_Elliott Mini-Skirt Love (1967) *** (out of 4) 15-year-old Billy witnesses his mother kill his dad so when she's sent off to an insane asylum Billy's aunt comes to take care of him. Not only does she cook and clean she also teaches Billy how to have sex. This is one screwy little film that even lets Billy and his aunt have a threesome with an Avon lady. The film is so outrageous that you'll get plenty of laughs but the biggest laugh comes from the fifteen year old boy being played by a guy who looks older than the father.Cool It Baby (1965) ** (out of 4) Somewhat entertaining sexploitation film about a couple who drug girls into making adult films and then blackmail them into joining their sexual club. For a sexploitation flick the movie is pretty tame, which is somewhat strange. The story isn't too bad and there are some pretty girls but not much else. The site of the courtroom used in the film will get a few laughs.Venus in Furs (1967) ** (out of 4) A somewhat interesting take on the novel is more a S&M show than anything else. The director does a very good job creating a dreamlike quality to the film but things get pretty boring pretty fast. A nice score and some fine cinematography help as well.
christopher-underwood This film must have been shot before the mini-skirt really appeared but released after and hence the use of the title because as far as I'm concerned, these slightly above the knee numbers with stockings and suspenders were not strictly mini-skirts. And if that were the only problem with the film maybe this would get a slightly higher score. A young man (played by someone approaching 30!) who is on the simple side, innocently photographs his mother with her lover, father gets to see the photos and in a struggle with his missus gets stabbed to death. Mummy goes off to a mental institution and Daddy's sister comes to look after the helpless 30 year old. They hit it off real well (over 5 years!) culminating in a threesome with a travelling saleswoman auntie has befriended. Mum returns, reluctantly allows her son to continue with her late husband's sister and pulls a milkman for a roll on the kitchen floor, which the son films as the credits roll. If any of this had been done with any panache it might have been something but it was not and so it isn't.
jpilkonis I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when this picture was being written. (And the word "written" is generous.) The first time I watched this, I could do little more than gape at the screen. It appeared to be some kind of twisted joke, as though the filmmakers were simply seeing what levels of ridiculousness they could get away with. The ineptitude involved in this film makes it a camp jewel, to be sure, but viewed as a film project that people had to write and produce, and edit, and plan...you have to wonder exactly what these people were thinking. Obviously, this is a stew of elements which, at the time, were expected to make a good (okay, adequate) exploitation film. The problem comes in that the way these things were added to the storyline are almost completely incongruous. If you want a better explanation for the word "gratuitous," you'll have to go a long way.There's no point in discussing the plot, the actors, the directing, or any other element of this...thing. There's no way to put it into words. I highly recommend this film simply as a unique viewing experience. You have been warned.
xfile1971 This is a very odd movie. It's one of those '60s sexploitation films where the sole purpose is to show people in various stages of undress. The "plot" is almost non-existent. It roughly concerns a married couple and their grown-up son. The young man takes photos of his mother having sex with some guy. The simple-minded son decides it would be harmless to show the pictures to his father. Not a good idea. The dad flips out and the mom stabs him to death. She is then committed to a mental institution. Billy (the young man) now has nobody to look after him so he is appointed a guardian. Who? His mother's sister. Well, Billy and his aunt get a lot closer than they really should. All in all, "Mini-skirt Love" is very trashy and it's not worth spending any time or money on to watch. It is a poor film by any standard.
