3.0 out of 5 stars A sign of things to come, March 2, 2001

This review is from: Baby Maker [VHS] (VHS Tape)

With surrogate motherhood now virtually a mainstream reproductive option, attention should be paid to this Sixties time-capsule (protest street theater!) that explored the idea first. (That Ms. Hershey, then at the peak of her youthful loveliness, takes an impromptu skinny dip has nothing to do with it. Really!)

pool scene. It's 35 years on & pretty tame stuff now. Free love, (pre-AIDS) good dope, music & I remember it, er.. most of it. I love this movie, finally seeing it again after all this time. I froze a frame of Ms. Hershey's beautiful, youthful smile. It lights up the room. The plot: Thirty-something yuppies Jay (Sam Groom) & Suzanne (Collin Wilcox-Horner) want to have a child, but Suzanne can't conceive. They hire Tish, to have a baby with Jay, the old fashioned way, so that at least Jay will have a biological heir. It's funny, & it's sad. Tish loses her boyfriend Ted, in Scott Glenn's first role, because they can't have sex & she won't do drugs for nine months. It's bittersweet too as Tish gives the baby boy to Suzanne & Jay as they leave to start their new life as parents. A new oldie classic.

3.0 out of 5 stars A snapshot of the attitudes and ideas of the 1970's, January 27, 2012

This review is from: The Baby Maker (DVD)

This movie really reflects the attitudes and ideas of the 1970's. It is a product of its time period in many ways and I found it interesting to watch.

The movie script provided an opportunity to see Barbara Hershey as a 20 something year old fully nude, when she goes skinny dipping in the pool, but the camera shots are from behind and across the pool. What a waste of a golden opportunity!
