Poor Jack Archer...he's handsome, intelligent, well dressed and well hung. But he's trapped in a world of lesbians obsessed with other women. Fortunately, a few of them are willing to spread it for him on occasion. Unfortunately, the latest object of his lust, "Flossie," is not one of them.

Although Flossie is willing to orally service him now and then (and vice versa),our boy Jack has to look elsewhere if he wants to sail his gondola up the Grand Canal. Will this ever change? We don't know, but Jack, Flossie and Flossie's guardian each have a grand old time (and so do we) watching as they narrate flashbacks of their previous sexual encounters.

We see Jack drilling the pipes of various Euro-tarts at orgies and Gothic chateaus...we see Flossie diving for Tuna at the girl's school...and we see the guardian taking on an impressively endowed (and fully aroused) Jack during a previous rendezvous, when she wore a wig and he thought she was someone else.

While most of the sex is softcore, there are at least two scenes (both involving unnamed extras) where vaginal penetration was taking place. This involves a blonde party guest at the orgy, who is in so deep there are only the briefest side-glimpses of what's going on; and at the girl's school, where a man who bones one of Flossie's classmates is clearly "in," but the high angle and distance obscure most of the action.

"Flossie" is still worthwhile as a well produced and exceptionally well-photographed Euro-film. Handsome Jack Frank, whose second film this was, is onscreen much of the time and he makes the movie, no pun intended. (He later went on to hardcore before retiring from films in the mid '80s.)

As will happen in '70s smut films, the camera frequently eschews the sex shots we're there for, and instead lingers and lingers and lingers on closeups of various female faces (after all, where else will you see one of THOSE, right? Gag.)

Worth a look.

Sol says: The beautiful Maria Lynn/Marie Forsa is similarly well-cast as Mac Ahlberg's FLOSSIE, a film that only flirts with hardcore -perhaps its main defect.

Not actually true. The film features plenty of hardcore footage of fellatio and intercourse. The film only lacks the current obsession with male ejaculation.

The film is beautifully lit and filmed, and the lead actress is adorable. I'd describe it as an excellent "couples movie", unlike the vast majority of the current product. It is explicit, without being gynecological.

Mac Ahlberg has come up with a winner in this porn film. Marie Forsa is superbly cast as Flossie the young girl who entrances embassy worker, Jack Archer (Jack Frank) as well as entrancing the male population who see this film. Marie Forsa oozes innocence as well as sexuality which explains her popularity. We must not forget the other beautiful women who appear here.

Maybe the film has been censored to some degree because although Jack Frank appears several times with an erection and there are a number of sex scenes, there are no climax shots and no penetration shots that we get in hard porn nowadays. There are some imaginative scenes such as the orgy scene in which a blindfolded Jack has a threesome in front of an audience; and another scene in which a local stud has the pick of several girls.

Overall, this film combines very sexy girls with a good script, the only blot though is a too frequent use of the close-up of faces when a bit of restraint to show those beautiful bodies would not have gone amiss. Well worth seeing though.
