    The Movie:


    When this 1981 XXX feature directed by the late Fred J. Lincoln begins, we meet a married couple - Nicole (Loni Sanders) and Michael (Mike Ranger). Michael's got a cab waiting outside as he's about to leave for the annual lawyer's convention he goes to every year but Nicole wants a quick lay before he goes; she's going to miss him, obviously. They get it on and then we meet Robert (Paul Thomas) and his wife Alice (Lynx Canon), who basically do the same thing. From there, we meet yet another couple, Jason (Michael Morrison) and Melissa (Tiffany Clark), and again, they follow suit. With the goodbye sex out of the way, the guys hope in their car chauffeured by none other than Ron Jeremy and they're dropped off in Nevada.


    On the way back to California, Ron picks up a female jogger with massive jugs (Holly McCall) who takes him to join her and her friend (China Leigh) in a three way hot tub session, while back in California the wives are screwing everyone in sight, male or female, kick-started by Nicole's bumping and grinding with a guy named Tony (Herschel Savage) and highlighted by a pretty great scene in which two of the ladies go horseback riding, get aroused by the movement between their legs, and then wind up using their riding crop in exactly the manner you think they will. Meanwhile their husbands are gone. The husbands, however, are not at a lawyer's conference at all. Robert is hanging out with a showgirl (Lee Carroll) who does a really fucking weird strip tease for him before they screw and Jason is getting it on food fetish style with a chick who really likes bananas. Melissa takes her car to the garage and gets tag-teamed by Blake Palmer and Jerry Wad ('Oh no, we got grease all over the lady's dress!') and that's more or less it. Once everyone gets laid, some of them multiple times, the guys get back in the car and head home as the end credits roll and we get a couple of clips of each cast member in action.


    Quickly paced and chock full o'sex, Same Time Every Year doesn't really have a story so much as it does a very simple set up: guys go away to fool around, wives left behind fool around too. That's really all that there is to this one in terms of plot. With that said, there's enough humor (intentional and unintentional) and generally weird behavior here to keep most fans of vintage smut interested. Lee Carroll's dance sequence is to nutty not to see and towards the end, well, let's not spoil it but let it suffice to say that one of the male cast members does an even more bizarre strip tease for two of the ladies. The whole riding crop thing adds some kink and damn it, Holly McCall and China Leigh go at it, which despite the presence of the Hedgehog, is reason enough for some of us to need to own this. The movie is nicely shot, the cast are all in fine form here - this'll do, pig. This'll do.


    Video/Audio/Extras:


    The 1.85.1 anamorphic widescreen transfer on this DVD is in pretty nice shape, boasting good color reproduction and pretty solid detail, even if the first few seconds look really rough (things improve considerably once we get past that and stay looking nice for the rest of the movie). There is some print damage here and there and a few scratches that you'll notice throughout the movie but all in all, the movie is presented in pretty nice shape here. There are no issues with compression artifacts, macroblocking or edge enhancement, whatever defects there are can be attributed to the source material.


    The Dolby Digital Mono track, in the film's original English language, also sounds fine. The score is properly balanced and the dialogue is easy enough to understand. If there's some occasional minor flatness, that's just part of the fun of a movie like this.


    Outside of a static menu offering chapter selection, there are no extra features on this DVD at all.


    The Final Word:


    There's not a whole lot of story here at all, the 'plot' exists only to string together the many sex scenes that make up the bulk of the movie. So on that level does it work? Yeah, more often than not it does. There's enough weird early eighties dirty movie charm here to intrigue and the cast are solid and involved. The movie is nicely shot and well paced and if Impulse's DVD is barebones, at least it looks and sounds pretty good.
