Blonde,busty Jennifer Welles is one of the all time great porn superstars and not just because of her obvious physical qualities. In addition to those,she possessed striking screen presence and – as Armand Weston’s EXPOSE ME, LOVELY clearly attests – honest to goodness acting ability. This lavishly produced semi-documentary, but one (though perhaps the best) in a long-running series, is a present to her fans who should be legion. The wonderful Ms. Welles appears in every single sex scene and what sex scenes they are. Whew! Of special note is her smoldering Sapphic slurp with lanky cross-dresser Marlene Willoughby, which was allegedly Jennifer’s first foray into same sex territory. Horse-hung Peter Andrews turns up for the boy next door/banana pie scene, double-teaming our hot heroine with swarthy stud muffin Pepe. The number of partners seems to multiply with each successive sexual encounter. Rumour has it that the four Oriental guys she finishes her climactic orgy scene with were not professional porno people but just happened to be catering on the set!Read More »

The Family, Paul Watson, 1974
12 x 30’ – First “fly on the wall” documentary serial.
Press Critics Prize – National Archive.
A ‘fly on the wall’ look at the working-class Wilkins family from Reading.
Modelled on the 13-part observational series, An American Family (US, d. Craig Gilbert, 1972), producer Paul Watson’s 12-part The Family (BBC, 1974) is credited with creating the concept of the ‘fly-on-the-wall’ documentary in Britain. Regardless, Watson’s cinema verité-style, warts-and-all portrait of the working-class Wilkins family certainly popularised an ‘observational’ style still seen as the defining characteristic of British documentary some twenty-five years later.Read More »

Quote:
While on the surface Mr. Gullible contains all the hallmarks of a good comedy, at its heart this movie portrays with uncommon clarity the pitfalls of love and the pain of betrayal. When the protagonist leaves his small village and travels to Tehran to find a wife, he does so with all the gusto and naivete of one who has not experienced the world. Yet even when Mr. Gullible encounters some of the harsh realities of the big city, he is not dissuaded from accomplishing his mission to find a bride. When he finally meets what he believes is the perfect woman, Mr Gullible showers her with gifts and asks her to marry him. However, his romantic visions of life with his lady love are obliterated when he discovers her true identity. Festivals/Awards: Special Jury Prize at the Moscow International Film Festival, 1971; Best film, best direction, best screenplay, best actress, best supporting actor at the Third National Film Festival Sepas, 1971.Read More »
