Rolls-Royce Baby (1975)
** (out of 4)
Dietrich, best known for producing several Jess Franco films, takes the director's chair and delivers an average sexploitation film, which stars Lina Romay. In the film, Romay plays a sex addict who has become a famous movie star. To get her sexual needs, she has her chauffeur (Eric Falk) drive her around in the Rolls-Royce to pick up various men and women for sex. This film is pretty much softcore except for a small oral scene and this mix really gives the film a what the hell feel because I'm not quite sure what Dietrich was going for. The film is never really erotic because the sex scenes are more graphic than anything else but at the same time they never go hardcore so all of the scenes are in a rather strange mix in terms of what's going on. When I first watched this film I was shocked to see Romay doing the oral sex scenes but since then I've seen over a hundred Franco movies and know that Romay has gone onto do countless hardcore movies. She's pretty good in the film and one could argue that she's never looked better. The film opens up with her shaving her private areas with a straight razor so she certainly isn't shy. In the end the film comes off rather flat but fans of Romay will certainly want to take the ride (no pun of course).
