Alice Goodbody (1974) Reviews
sucking her way to stardom...
Alice Goodbody is a comely ingénue, if a bit dense, who wants more than anything to be a glamorous movie star. Her big break come when an assistant production manager offers her a role in a project called "Julius Caesar". Thus begins Alice Goodbody's adventure in Hollywood...an adventure which finds her constantly performing fellatio on her main connection, and flitting about from bed to bed with film-industry plutocrats representing every conceivable stripe of sexual perversion. Alice is blitzkrieged in the filming of her big debut, suffering various injuries during every take. Battered, disenchanted, and sexually drained, she rethinks her Tinseltown ambitions. An above-average salacious farce which is endlessly more watchable than the paradigm of this particular feather. 5.5/10
An enjoyably silly comedic soft-core romp
Longtime favorite 70's soft-core starlet Sharon Kelly lands one of her best starring roles in this enjoyably junky outing as the eponymous Alice Goodbody, a lovably ditsy waitress at a Hollywood greasy spoon diner who dreams of celluloid superstardom. One fateful day she makes the acquaintance of perpetually on the make sleazeball Second Assistant Production Manager Myron Mittleman (splendidly played to smarmy perfection by Daniel Kauffman), who gets Alice a bit part in a ghastly musical version of "Julius Caesar" (a spot-on silly send-up of "Jesus Christ, Superstar"). Alas, Alice's sudden good fortune proves short-lived after she's struck in the face by a runaway boom mike. However, the fiercely determined and resourceful Alice promptly learns the valuable lesson that the only way to really make it in show business is by making love with the right higher-up connected people. Pretty soon Alice has done just what you think with a handful of kinky major Hollywood biggies and her ascent to tremendous film fame is secured. Sure, this flatly made, stiffly directed (by Tom Scheuer, who also wrote, produced and edited the picture as well), and cheaply produced item is without a doubt shamelessly stupid lowbrow nonsense, but a spirited turn by the ubiquitous George "Buck" Flower as a goofball voyeur food fetish sex freak, a bouncy soundtrack loaded with catchy, upbeat songs, and, most of all, the always delightful Sharon Kelly's indomitably effervescent presence and boundless vitality as well her often undraped and thoroughly yummy voluptuous body make this dippy affair a great deal of solid and satisfying dumb fun just the same.
Not good, not terrible
In craftsmanship this is a cut above average for 70s softcore drive-in smut--it's technically competent, doesn't seem dirt cheap, and the performers seem like pros even if they're mostly one-note and hammy. But in tone it's very typical for the same, all on the level of your basic dirty joke. The entire "joke" here is that our wide-eyed buxom heroine blithely gets exploited for sexual favors on every step up the Hollywood ladder, which in fact she doesn't ascend at all. (There's also a slapstick running gag about why she doesn't succeed in becoming a starlet--every time she gets a scene in the movie she's been hired to, she magically attracts a falling setpiece or some other, increasingly disabling personal accident.) When you see a movie from this period you pretty much expect that its take on the "Sexual Revolution" really isn't going to be any more enlightened than a bachelor's party at the Playboy Club. The humor level here isn't as bad as in such dirty-joke compilations as "If You Don't Stop It You'll Go Blind" that were also playing drive-ins at the time. But it's still pretty bad. All of Alice's "benefactors" are one-dimensional caricatures, probably the lamest being the one whose entire gimmick seems to be that he belches or farts (I wasn't sure which was intended) all the time. The upside to this, apart from the film being clearly made by professionals (some amazingly amateurish stuff managed to get into drive-ins and grindhouses back then), is that Sharon Kelly gives a stubbornly good-natured performance in the title role. She's cute in a natural way (and I don't mean just the lack of silicone), as well as being as funny as the weak material allows. She makes Alice so innocently cheerful the sleaze factor is somewhat abated. The other major plus is that the movie which movie-mad waitress Alice gets to work on is a "Julius Ceasar" musical whose scenes are not staged with any parodic flair here--but the music, on the other hand, is a quite dead-on spoof of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and other entries in the then-hot "rock opera" category. Those two things aside, this is a 70s drive-in sex comedy much like the more infamous "Chatterbox," albeit without the jaw-dropping bad taste concept which makes that movie a must-see even though it's not as much fun as you'd hope.
