Featured review
Drop Out Wife (1972)
** (out of 4)
Director Stephens once again teams up with screenwriter Edward D. Wood, Jr. to shine a light on swinging. In the film a once happy couple find their marriage starts to get boring so they wonder into the world of swinging. Soon the wife begins to go out of control, which costs her her children, husband and friends. If you tackle the sexploitation genre then you're going to find a lot of films that deal with swinging or women out of control but this one here really stands out due to the wild dialogue from Wood. I'm going to go on the record by saying he was a great screenwriter because I've yet to see a film that features one of his screenplays that is ever boring. I've seen this same story in dozens of sexploitation pictures but Wood's wacky screenplay really makes the material fresh, entertaining and funny. It goes without saying that all of the performances are way below average but this does bring a certain documentary like quality to the film, which works well with the ugly cinematography. The soundtrack is laughable throughout but the story never gets boring. We get countless softcore sex scenes and plenty of nudity to keep things moving. The highlight has to be the first swingers party, which was filmed in a psychedelic way but it also seems to be one long take of women jumping around from men to men.
