A janitor finds a four-leaf clover and dreams of his good luck turning him into a television star. Somehow, this translates to "naked women all over the place."

In the '70s there were many successful satirical soft porn comedies in THE GROOVE TUBE vein, but this early forerunner is a flop. For nostalgia value alone it's available from Something Weird.Writer-producer Edward Everitt (variable spellings of his moniker exist) is an enigma: he is associated with many hardcore porn efforts decades later, but also created a superior roughie TEEN-AGE JAIL BAIT. This time he strikes out.With some lame comics on hand, we witness spoofs of early '60s TV series like BEN CASEY, COMBAT and NAKED CITY. Reminiscent of ancient, tired burlesque sketches, there are pretty girls hanging around, with decolletage and occasional dollops of toplessness, to give the fans a cheap thrill.Nothing intrinsically wrong with this, but featuring stupid puns of the "Nosy Costra", "Ben Crazy" variety it simply isn't funny. Best pulchritude comes with busty bathing beauties during the COMBAT sketch, and quotable dialogue is a cigarette commercial blaring out the message: "Remember folks, cancer is good for you". No one could accuse filmmaker EE of subtlety.The silliness of these early porn efforts is hard to get used to. Here the roadblock is a particularly dumb narrative strand, where the largely MOS film is structured in voice-over by a four-leaf-clover who is neurotic and feels unlucky, having adventures in Hollywood. Not exactly high concept.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
