This is a smarmy, leering sex-comedy from director John D. Lamond, who had done much better with 1978's erotic Felicity. Graeme Blundell, star of the similarly raunchy Alvin Purple, plays a nerd named Martin who sneezes whenever a woman turns him on, causing impotence. After an unsuccessful tryst with the boss's wife, Martin is sent to Tahiti on Banana Airlines. At this point, hilarity is supposed to ensue. It doesn't. Instead, what follows is the sort of drooling idiocy that would make even Benny Hill blush, as "randy" stewardesses "drop their knickers" while the offscreen narrator engages in supposedly saucy commentary of the "wink-wink, nudge-nudge" variety. There's body-painting, a stud pilot (Robin Stewart) who is sleeping with two stewardesses, and many dumb penis jokes. Lamond returned to the genre with A Slice of Life (1982), then made a failed mainstream film, Breakfast in Paris (1982), before wisely abstaining from directing for the next 10 years. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

In the third episode of the six-part story "Frontier in Space," the ill will between the planets Earth and Draconia intensifies as the space vessels of both worlds are attacked by space pirates. The Doctor (Jon Pertwee) has been accused of being a Draconian spy, and is thus unable to intervene. Meanwhile, the Doctor's companion Jo (Katy Manning) is placed in the custody of the commissioner of Sirius 4 -- who turns out to be renegade time lord the Master (Roger Delgado). Written by Malcolm Hulke, "Frontier in Space, Episode 3" originally aired on March 10, 1973. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Not Tonight Darling runs the gamut from soft-core silliness to turgid melodrama. Luan Peters plays a beautiful suburbanite, tired of her husband and her empty lifestyle. Businessman Vincent Ball enters Luan's life, armed with little more than a smooth line. Luan falls in lust with Ball-the first step towards her descent into the world of crime. The moral (?) of Not Tonight Darling seems to be "get a hobby and stay with hubby". ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This entry in Hammer Films' long-running vampire series of the '60s and '70s is one of the most evocative and original. The story features voluptuous twin Playboy centerfolds Madeleine and Mary Collinson as sisters who, without parents, are sent to stay with their oppressive uncle (Peter Cushing, looking more emaciated than ever), who happens to live near the sinister Karnstein Castle, the locale of countless vampiric happenings in two prequels (The Vampire Lovers and Lust for a Vampire). One of the twins wanders over and meets the dashing Count Karstein (Damien Thomas), a vampire who later uses the girl's blood to awaken his long-lost ancestor from the dead. Of course, the uncle predictably gives chase once trouble starts, but there is a clever plot twist as the count switches the twins before one is about to be burned at the stake for her supposed satanic involvements. Twins of Evil unabashedly exploits the twins' assets to pump up the film's sex appeal; it also seems to cater to viewers with a vampire fetish. Still, neither is necessarily a bad thing in a vampire film; Twins of Evil does create an effectively sensuous mood while also managing to sustain a fair amount of tension throughout the picture. Although Universal Pictures, the U.S. distributor, extracted nearly all of the flesh and bloodletting from its release, the original British cut retains everything and is the usual copy found on video. Like its predecessors, the script for Twins of Evil is loosely based on LeFanu's classic vampire story Carmilla. ~ Jeremy Beday, Rovi
