This double feature disc from Something Weird Video is one of their better offerings, as it showcases two of the most popular and well-known sex starlets of the 60's and 70's: Marsha Jordan and Rene Bond!
In "Sweet Georgia," Marsha Jordan plays the title role. Georgia is an insatiable nmypho, who has no problem getting it on with anyone, from the ranch hands to her own virgin step-daughter. Seems everyone gets a piece of her sweet loving, except her drunk, fat and abusive husband. But when a sexual encounter in the stables leads to a horrible accident, things take a dark turn for everyone.
As with most films of this type, the production values are pretty low and the acting abilities of everyone, save the sensuous Marsha Jordan, almost non-existent. It's pretty much left up to Marsha and her voluptuous curves to carry the film, which she actually does fairly well. The story is pretty thin, as it revolves around this group of people stay with the drunken head of the household, only until he stikes some gold from his mine. Of course, he never does and this part of the plot is quickly forgotten when everyone starts having their trysts with Georgia. There is some nice full frontal nudity of Marsha, too, which is always a treat for the viewer. The last third of the film does take a rather morbid and dark turn that you don't see coming, which really helps it to stand out from other such sexploitation efforts of the times and will help make it a bit more memorable than most. It's also one of the last films Marsha Jordan did, before leaving the business. All in all, it's a pretty decent fare for this brand of film and certainly worth a viewing or two.
Then we come to "Country Hooker," with features the well-known talents of Sandy Dempsey and Rene Bond. A couple of musicians on their way to a gig pick up a pair of babes in distress (played by Bond and Dempsey) and end up getting a very "just reward" for their kindness. Little do they realize they are soon to be the ones in distress, as these gals are pros being used to set the guys up for the whims of their pimp. When the girls end up falling for the guys, though, they all wind up in a heap of trouble that one of them won't get out of alive!
Again, as with the first offering, the production and acting are pretty poor, save for Bond and Louis Ojena (who plays Mike the pimp). This is one of the first of many, many films Rene Bond would make in her career and she shows a natural aptitude for both the acting skills required, as well as the ablity to perform sexually in front of the camera. There is plenty of male and female full frontal nudity in this one and while most of the women are nice looking, Rene Bond is easily the most attractive of this bunch. The murder scene is a bit shocking for the times, as well. There some really bad country music sequences, which are lip-synched by the guys, and some unintentionally humorous dialouge from the campy script that will bring out a chuckle or two, but overall, this one just doesn't quite get over the hump, as the film's ending, unlike the girls in the film, is as flat as a board. Basically, it's worth a view once to see the sensual Rene Bond in one of her first roles, but it will be quickly forgotten after that.
In conclusion, this is certainly one of the better double feature dvds out of Something Weird Video and something any fan of this genre would do well to check out.
