Cows and Udders, November 11, 2002
This review is from: The Pigkeeper's Daughter / Sassy Sue (DVD)
Up until three months ago, I was ignorant of producer Harry Novak, his soft-X filmographry or Something Weird Video, the Seattle company that's preserved these nuggets of drive-in history. Now that I've learned about them, I thank God for all three. Both "The Pigkeeper's Daughter" and "Sassy Sue" are goofy hillbilly humpathons that offer plenty of laughs, though most are of the unintentional kind. "The Pigkeeper's Daughter" has qualities more closely associated with porn: Wretched acting, a mere hint of a plot and even less of a script, and lots of extended sex scenes (which are pretty explicit for a softie). Terry Gibson (in the title role) and Patty Smith (a.k.a. Peggy Church) are about the only people anyone would want to see have sex. There's a surprising amount of male nudity--unfortunately it's in the form of out-of-shape John Keith and skinny Peter James (who has some nasty looking teeth). And what happened to the "actress" playing Gibson's mama? Her breasts look chafed and there's a horrible bruise across her lower back. Was she beaten into taking this role? (This might explain her performance.) By comparison, "Sassy Sue"--the story of a young man, his cow, and the women who try to come between them--is a much more polished effort. The acting is a little better (though it's still bad), the cast is more effective and there's actually some genuine laughs. A definite highpoint in this one is John Tull's tryst with one of the horny babes wanting some backwoods boffing ("It would help if you mooed a little," he snipes). The sex--although simulated and not quite as explicit as that in "Pigkeeper's Daughter" (there's a moment in the final scene that pushes the boundaries of softcore, however)--seems a little more genuine in "Sassy Sue." Both movies are raunchy fun, though "Pigkeeper's Daughter" is raunchier and "Sassy Sue" is more fun. Better than both movies are the trailers for other similarly-themed Harry Novak productions, like "Midnight Plowboy," "Country Cuzzins" and "Tobacco Roody." Fans of large breasts and trash cinema will definitely want to add this to their collection.

Epitome of softcore corn pone, April 29, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pigkeeper's Daughter / Sassy Sue (DVD)
This DVD features two classics of the 1970's skin flick country bumpkin genre produced by Harry Novak. Just so no one is confused, these are low-budget, poorly-acted soft-core movies but despite that have a charm of their own. If you ever sneaked into a R-rated drive-in movie you probably have memories of these types of films, where the clothes come off quickly and often, and the plots are as thin as the Daisy Dukes the girls wear. Sassy Sue features Sharon Kelly (who later went on to X-rated fame) plus several other starlets whose careers probably didn't go much beyond this film, their main qualifications being a willingness for nudity. John Tull plays the brain-damaged yet sensitive Junior, who prefers cattle to women, and actually provides more than a bit of humor. I actually found myself singing the inane theme song "Junior's in love with Sassy Sue". Pigkeeper's Daughter features a bunch of women with large breasts and not much else, but hey you don't buy these movies expecting Meryl Streep and Orson Welles. The viewer has the comfortable feeling that he/she can act better than anyone in this movie. The extra features are excellent and numerous. This DVD is a bargain for those who enjoy this type of thing, not that anyone would admit to it.

Golly! This is a delightful..., January 23, 2002
This review is from: The Pigkeeper's Daughter / Sassy Sue (DVD)
heapin' helpin' of hillbilly hilarity. Moonshine, incest, bestiality, it's all here! The two fine young fillies in the bathtub together in Sassy Sue is more than worth the price of this DVD! Wooh darlin'! Stereotypical? Yes. Ridiculous? Yes. I wish all the films that are featured in the trailers were available. Take a swig o' 'shine, grab yer cuzzin, and enjoy!
