Watch Cindy and Donna For Free

hyped garbage

Fantastic!

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This drive-in movie was made by those purveyors of good taste, Crown International Pictures. It's about two suburban teenage sisters who have somewhat debauched parents; the mother is an alcoholic and the father an unfaithful swine with a taste for very young women. Both girls essentially go on a voyage of sexual discovery. It is in essence a soft-core sex film that must've been really explicit for 1970. There are copious amounts of nudity and sex scenes sprinkled throughout, while the young women are all attractive, especially the buxom stripper played by Alice Friedman who is filmed in an extensive scene where she dances topless at a club. Naturally, all of this makes for a somewhat entertaining concoction.As is to be expected for the era, the girls experiment with pot and there is an overall pleasing counter-cultural feeling to events in general. Although, it's an exploitation film first and foremost and to that end we also have scenes of complicit incest added to the menu as well! On the whole, this is another of those very 70's productions that feature hippy chicks and I have a definite liking for those. They are films with automatic cult value nowadays and this one is no different, although it is more on the soft-core erotica side of the fence than most. It also finished with an utterly nihilistic ending which seemed to be de rigueur in the years 1969-70. I always find these types of endings pretty satisfying in that they seem so bold and strange from the point of view of today's safer cinematic culture.

The Crown-International sexploitation movie "Cindy and Donna" seems to have drifted into obscurity immediately after its theatrical release, not getting a release on VHS and only receiving a quiet DVD release a few years ago (as one movie in a pack of several.) This may have been because there are no famous stars in the cast, or it may have been because the movie was rated "X" - though it's a soft core "X" and not a hard core "X", "X" rated movies have had a hard time being released in the home video market. But there's a real obvious reason why the movie has remained obscure, and that's because it's an incredibly awful movie. There is no real plot on display here - it's just one soft core sex sequence after another with just flimsy connections with each other. While I know this may sound appealing to some horny viewers, I think even they will be quickly bored, because these sequences are not erotic and are instead incredibly boring. The only interesting thing about the sex scenes is that they carefully avoid showing lower frontal nudity - if the filmmakers wanted an "X" rating, why not show everything? Anyway, this is one obscurity that deserves its status.

This is the epitome of a drive-in smoker. Back in the day, when I was a teen we used to go to drive-in movies just for a place to hang out. Others went for some family entertainment where they could save money by charging by the carload rather than by the individuals. You usually got to see three movies. Depending on what night you went, you either got some G- rated family movies (one first run movie and two less than mediocre throw-aways), three horror or action movies (same deal) or you got the sexploitation movies that were often one step away from a hard "R" or soft porn flick. Sometimes they were sex comedies but often they were low-budget hippie chick flicks where the actors seemed to take themselves too seriously. Cindy and Donna kind of falls in to the latter. This is more than just some flirtatious fun. This really is nothing short of some classic softcore. Cindy and Donna Weeks are two teenage half sisters who live with their dysfunctional parents ( a booze hound mother and a lecherous, infidelity-prone father). While Donna is an "experienced" girl marching toward woman-hood with a boyfriend, younger red-haired sis, Cindy is conflicted and hesitant but still curious about sex. She spies on her sister and listens to her best friend, Karen talk about sex. She also spies on her drunken father as one night he falls into bed with her half sister, his stepdaughter, Donna. Basically there's no real plot that's worth following. It's just these three girls falling into sexual situations to the soundtrack of some "groovy" music (it's hilarious how the script has them drop these hip soundbites of the day like 'far out', 'can you dig it?' and 'I'm hip' every five or ten minutes). The editing is what you'd expect for a low-budget movie from 1970. It's choppy and the film is a little grainy in spots. But this isn't the type of movie you watch for the craftsmanship of filmmaking. In fact, every female featured in the movie seems to be involved in the liberation of the sexual revolution with even Mrs. Weeks throwing herself at her husband's friends. The younger girls are all gorgeous and have no problem disrobing and one girl dances almost nude for a full 30-40 seconds with the camera ogling her naked body. This reminds me why this is one of my favorite periods. The mini-skirts and dresses these girls wear are so short, they can't even lift their arms without giving a show. And the drug use is in full effect. The girls all smoke pot and mom and dad are drunk-a-holics. I bought this as part of a set of four exploitation movies. It's ironic that I watched this one last and it turned out to be the best of the set.

For the information of your readers - I am the person who played the mother in Cindy and Donna. My stage name was: Suzy Allen. I never used the name Susy Allen and any information shown for Susy Allen does not apply to me. I don't know why I was not credited properly. I agree that Cindy and Donna was a terrible movie, but the stagehands and crew said I was the best actor in the movie! We spent an entire day filming one scene, with me and my "husband" driving on a freeway, with me nagging him about not taking me out often enough !! I had a lot of fun trying to be the whining, miserable wife for the movie, even though in real life I am nothing like that character. It was also very interesting for me to have to dub in some of my lines after the movie was finished. Quite a challenge to get everything right on cue.
