Keyholes Are For Peeping is a film featuring the forgotten comedian Sammy Petrillo. He plays a Momma's boy who just received a certificate from some fly-by-night school that has made him a certified marriage counselor. So, he helps people in his building with their marriages. He also has a girlfriend who wants to marry and his mother (also played by Petrillo, looking Jamie Farr-ish) wants to re-marry.

Petrillo's performance is actually pretty good and he comes off as a likable character. His impersonation of Claude Rains' Invisible Man was great. Many felt he was a Jerry Lewis clone and he shows some of the influence of Mr. MDA but he seemed to remind me of somebody else.

The film has, as usual, a lot of nudity and simulated sex. Petrillo isn't involved in these scenes. Manuel, the super of the apartment building Petrillo lives in, peeps into the keyholes and we see the explicit acts. Also, the characters go into detail about their marriage problems and we see them acted out. Some nice female bodies for 1972 are in the offing.

Not a bad film, much more entertaining and somewhat less exploitative of Wishman's films with Chesty Morgan. Drive-In Classics, the best $2.50 CAN a month you can spend, airs it.

Director/writer Wishman has no flair for comedy, and star Sammy Petrillo has less: endless lame jokes, interspersed with completely gratuitous sex scenes, one of which is perhaps the most erotic Wishman's ever shot. The movie's theme ("Is there sex after marriage?") presumably was of concern to Wishman, who began her second marriage right around the time this was made, but there's none of her characteristic tension as everything is played (badly) for laughs.
