This horrendous horror spoof stars David Niven, who manages to keep a stiff upper lip as the title character. The Count, by now too old to dine out, must instead host tours of his castle in order to lure fresh victims. Hoping to resurrect his dead lover through the blood of a suitably beautiful woman with the correct type, he fortunately manages to rent the old homestead to a group of voluptuous Playboy bunnies for a photo shoot; he winds up draining the blood of a gorgeous black model who fits the bill. Much to his surprise, his lover returns as Teresa Graves, and he too becomes black by the end of this startlingly unfunny (and mildly racist) attempt at a sexy spoof of the standard Dracula theme. ~ Jeremy Beday, All Movie Guide

Written and directed by Derek Ford, the British Suburban Wives is a spicy satire of modern manners and mores. Newspaperwoman Eve Whishaw relates the separate stories of eight married couples. The husbands are satisfied with their lot, but the wives are bored, bored, bored. The manner in which the ladies add a little fun to their lives originally earned this film an X rating. Current prints of Suburban Wives have been toned down to a hard "R". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

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, All Movie Guide
