Film Summaries

Frankie and Johnnie Were Lovers:
The film centers on two lovers reflecting on their turbulent relationship. It was inspired by the traditional American pop song "Frankie and Johnny," featuring a storyline that closely parallels the song's lyrics, except for its predictable ending. This melodrama incorporates elements of soft-core erotica, balancing dramatic moments with sexual scenes, although most of the explicit content is obscured. Rene Bond stars as Frankie, a successful singer, with Ric Lutze playing Johnny. Despite its shortcomings, the film's short runtime prevents it from overstaying its welcome.

The Mislayed Genie:
This film follows a young man whose sexual fixation leads him to accidentally summon a genie. The narrative is minimal, primarily consisting of dialogue between sex scenes, yet it effectively utilizes humor, particularly in the protagonist's unique method of summoning the genie. Like the previous film, it straddles the line between soft-core and hard-core, with serviceable sex scenes. Notable performances include Tobar Mayo as the genie and Rene Bond as a school teacher.
