Very disappointing...
Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike
Instant Favorite.
Captivating movie !
Radley Metzger's THE SCORE is a "hip happening" where THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW's "Brad & Janet" meets WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? without all the sturm-und-drang as a couple of swingers set out to seduce a pair of naive newlyweds. It's about the furthest I've ever seen a (sort of) mainstream movie go for its time and if Metzger had lingered a moment longer on those fellatio shots (both male and female), this would be XXX. Way gayer than I thought it would be with lots of fetish foreplay (a cowboy, a sailor, a nun) but the director's hypnotic way with material like this should keep just about anyone riveted. Lynn Lowry's looks ("elfin", and then some) get on my nerves but I quite liked Claire Wilbur. The guys (Cal Culver aka Casey Donovan and Gerald Grant, who would both die of AIDS) not so much for some reason. Sylvester Stallone, like Wilbur, was in the Off-Broadway play but Metzger passed on him because he didn't like Sly's "Brooklynese". The film's loss, for sure.
I was lucky enough to have found this title at a discount retail store and all I kept thinking is oh, boy what a treat. It was lovely to see a period in time where folks were carefree with their bodies and uninhibited play flowed beautifully throughout this film. I specially like the fact that as the DVD box stipulates, this is a film made with all audiences in mind and you will fully leave satisfied. I was so enthralled in the story that I wish the film continued for another two and a half hours. I was reading some of the reviews here and I'm sad to hear that some of the main actors passed on. However, I was glad I was able to find this gem that took me back into a world where life is light, fun and filled with sexual joy! Now that I have discovered "Score" I will be looking more closely in the bins for the other dvds of these fine actors. Everything about this movie was exceptional, specially the sex, not overt sadly, but most enjoyable and very sexually stimulating! A must see!
A swinging couple (Claudia Wilbur and Gerald Grant) seduces a straight-laced couple (Lynn Lowry and Casey Donovan). That's about it for plot, but the movie is fascinating. It was made long before AIDS (and, ironically, two of the actors later died of the disease) so there are no boundaries on what the couples will do and there's no moralizing on what is right or wrong. That's the great thing about the movie-it doesn't judge. I saw this years ago at a film festival and was just astonished. It's hard to explain WHY I liked it but I did. It dealt with sex roles, male and female sexuality, bisexuality in an uninhibited and fun way.As for the sex...there's not much. I saw an uncut version and while somewhat explicit, it's tasteful. There's a man/woman coupling, and two long lesbian and gay sex scenes. In fact when this came out in 1973 it was a bomb. It was X but it wasn't explicit enough for the porno crowd or intelligent enough for the "intellectual" audience. Now it's being realized for how good it is.It's beautifully shot in Yugoslavia, has great dialogue and all the acting is good. Also the cast is attractive and look great with their clothes off. It's available uncut on DVD (previous versions were edited) and well worth getting.
Maybe this would be "hot" to someone who has never seen a movie or book with a sexual theme, but to me it was just a poorly-acted soft-core porno movie. There's bigger kicks waiting for you in the video store...in the curtained off area! The quality of acting is the same as porno, and the cast is actual 70s porno stars. On the plus side, the soundtrack is very how do you say groovy?
