Lenny Kirtman's Finest Hour
22 July 2012 | by Dirtymoviedevotee (dries.vermeulen@hotmail.be) (Brugge, Belgium)
Calling Leonard Kirtman controversial would suggest that someone out there actually likes him ! The subject of many a '70s skin flick starlet's horror story, he may indeed be the most universally despised figure in all of adult. Still, there's just no getting around the fact that Kirtman's something of a cornerstone in skin flick history, supplying much '60s sexploitation stuff through Kirt Films, keeping Distribpix in dough throughout the decade. He notoriously frightened then fledgling Veronica Hart almost right back out of the business when he unceremoniously "stepped in" for an inconveniently flaccid Zebedy Colt on the set of TARA. He would also prove instrumental in said superstar Seka's separation from husband Ken Yontz, at whose behest she agreed to cooperate with the middle-aged wannabe movie mogul.
Taking his public persona out of the equation, Kirtman's forte as a filmmaker springs from a similar single-mindedness, eschewing the niceties of production that increasingly embellished erotica to concentrate on the sex instead. With Lenny, there's no room for excuses. Plots are perfunctory and any cameraman's greatest concern is to stay in focus and throw in lots of extreme close-ups, resulting in his trademark style which his multitude of detractors would claim as an absence thereof, a rudimentary brand of carnality appealing mostly to the rain-coater demographic, the Dirty Mac brigade which always appeared to make up at least half the theatrical audience way back when porn was still a communal experience. Piling up the pretty girls was another tactic he frequently resorted to and, although some of the more fastidious hardcore historians casually dismiss this as another brain-dead attention-grabbing apparatus, fans were not complaining. Know thy audience indeed. He may not have been the best movie maker that has ever graced the business, to coin an understatement, but he proved one hell of a salesman.
Striking the iron while it's hot, and realizing full well that pretty soon she probably wouldn't give him the time of day, Kirtman rushed three Desiree Cousteau projects into production (apart from this and INSIDE, there's also DEEP RUB) in close conjunction of one another, employing the same technical team which seems to have fallen off the radar since. This goes for producer Harold Adams, DoP John Simolowitz (showing superior sophistication to Lenny's habitual lens-men) and composer John N. Michael who would also pop up on his EROTIC ADVENTURES OF LOLITA though without the benefit of songstress "Fanny Arr" whose vocal stylings add a unique haunting quality to the Cousteau combo.

The full title of this Golden Age film is Everything You've Always Wanted to Know About Female Athletes But Were Too Excited to Ask!, leading you to think that it's some sort of sports themed porno. But before your dreams fill with Olympic gymnasts and roller derby jammers, just chalk up the title and the story to a writer looking for an excuse to string together a bunch of sex together.
Female Athletes stars the lovely Annette Haven as a magazine editor who describes how she rose to the top and brought her magazine back from near bankruptcy. The action starts out almost immediately, with Annette getting eaten out by a lackey from the mailroom (David Morris). After she milks his sperm into her hand, she turns to the camera and explains how she became the boss. Through flashbacks, we see how Annette nearly lost her job but not only kept it--by screwing her then-boss Paul Thomas on his desk--but became his business partner.
From there, the story goes from one sexual encounter to another without really doing anything for the plot. A braless Annette goes running in the park and gives a rain-soaked hummer and a passionate quickie to a lucky jogger. Annette meets a girlfriend at the fencing club and ends up in a "I'm not into girls, but this feels good" type of lesbian encounter in the sauna before John C. Holmes joins in to make it a threeway. A black couple and a white couple engage in some martial arts before turning to the marital arts (including some rare anal sex). I could have done without the stereotypical oriental music, but it's a decent scene--if for nothing else but to see the porn equivalent of blaxploitation.
Next there's a pool scene, where two couples eventually begin with oral sex in the pool. Then the guys hug each other and then swap wives (that's why they called it the Swingin' Seventies!). It's a unique scene since there's quite a bit of underwater footage in the pool, including two submerged pop shots--don't ask me who cleaned the pool afterward.
Annette then recounts how she and Paul got married (and banged each other on a yacht--nice visuals). The "athletes" theme continues with two female pool hustlers taking two chauvinists to task. As a huge fan of Dorothy LeMay, I loved this scene as she sucks her partner off to a big, spurting orgasm--no fucking and no need for her or the guy to jack off. What a concept! That brings us to the big ending orgy that takes place--you guessed it--on shag carpet. It's a pretty good Golden Age lovefest, with a lot of blowjobs, several good cumshots, and some DP action.
A few things strike you as you watch this late 70's film. First, Annette is amazing--she's got long brown hair, perfect breasts, and an innocent-yet-completely-at-ease take on sex. Second, this is a classic example of the Golden Age feature: fun dialogue, furry muffs, natural tits, non-facial cumshots, few gyno camera angles, and relatively short scenes. Finally, it stars a who's who of classic adult cinema: Annette, Johnny the Wadd, Desiree Cousteau, Bonnie Holiday, Dorothy LeMay, Paul Thomas, David Morris, Richard Pacheco, and others.
Overall, it's a very good film. The story is really weak, but the sex is almost non-stop and solid. Not only does Female Athletes have an all-star cast, but the running time is on the long side for a theatrical feature. With that, if you're a classic adult fan or curious about the era (now two decades gone), it's a movie worth picking up. I just have two words that sum up why this title gets my frequent play, silly title or no: Annette. Haven.
