Confessions of a Young American Housewife, a review by Jimmy

Title : Confessions of a Young American Housewife (1974)

Overview
Carol (Rebecca Brooke), Anne (Chris Jordan), Eddie and Pete (Eric Edwards) are a swinging suburban quartet. Carol is married to Eddie and Anne to Pete, but that doesn't stop them from swapping partners or initiating hot foursome sex at the drop of their panties. Enter Jennifer Robinson (Jennifer Welles) - Carol's buttoned up mother, in town for a visit. Sporting a voluptuous body and dripping sensuous allure, Jennifer makes an immediate impression upon Pete, Anne and Eddie, who will stop at nothing to have their way with her - individually or in group session. Once Jennifer comes to terms with her daughter's highly sexual lifestyle and lets go of her own inhibitions - look out! - no one will be safe from her erotic charms. Soon it becomes clear that mother and daughter have long-standing issues and an unspoken attraction between one another, which manifest themselves in the most shocking and taboo way. Who will end up with who, and how far will each go to satisfy his or her deepest and wildest sexual urges?

My Impression
Another excellent Joe Sarno's movie that was for unknown reasons unwatched since I've bought it in may. My comments are the same than the one for Abigail Leslie, but for my great pleasure Chris Jordan had a real role in this. She is not the most gorgeous or glamorous looking girl of this period, but I really like the "girl next door" look. Since a picture is better this is a screen capture of her (she is in the middle between David Hausman and Jennifer Welles).
 


Like all the Joe Sarno's movies this one is highly recommanded. As a bonus you got a complete CD with the music of those three movies : Confessions of a Young American Housewife, Abigail Lesley Is Back in Town and Misty.
