    42nd Street Pete's Hot For Teacher Triple Feature - Movie Review:

    Three dirty movies on one DVD, transferred from original 1970's film prints? Yep. Here's what you get, (each one introduced by Pete himself)…

    Class Of 69:

    The first movie opens with a scene where a woman tells her husband that she ran into her old friend Brenda (who looks like Jennifer Carpenter from Dexter) at their High School Reunion and how, afterwards, they went back to her place to shoot some pool. Here they talk about how some of the guys haven't aged so well, and then they talk about how Brenda is now into pot and acid rather than booze.

    From here, we see via flashback the first sexy story, wherein Brenda and her bearded old man smoke some weed and then have sex in the living room, but not before they have a prolonged conversation about how good the weed is, where he got it and how much he paid for it. Then she wiggles her toes at him and fondles her bellybutton and he does the same. The actors do seem legitimately stoned here and once they do get down to it and move off the couch to the bedroom they seem to have a genuinely good time.

    From there, Brenda tells a second story about using acid in a group session with two of her girlfriends and a random dude. Again, we see the flashback play out in front of us as some wacky psychedelic music plays. One hippy chick does a strip tease for the other three and then it turns into an orgy with Brenda servicing the guy, her boyfriend, and the other two girls going at it on the other side of the couch. From there they switch it up a bit and swap partners.

    After that, Brenda and the unnamed wife are getting all horned out in the poolroom, which leads to some rad lesbian sex on the billiards table between the two of them. Back home in the bedroom, the wife tells her husband about all of this and he gets horny and bones her, after which she delivers a weird soliloquy about how everyone loves sex. The end!

    This is a moderately entertaining and fairly plotless little one-hour long film probably shot in a day. There are only three locations here and they could all very well have been in the same house or even apartment. There are no cast credits given and none of the performers are recognizable to this writer, but the actress who plays Brenda has some appreciable enthusiasm and seems to enjoy leading the charge here. Unremarkable, but amusing enough. Oh, and the music has definitely been changed over the opening credits.

    Our lead tells her husband that she ran into an old friend, Brenda at her High School Reunion. In flashbacks, Brenda shoots pool and tells of her amorous adventures while under the influence of pot, LSD, and more! As the stories get wilder, the husband is getting hornier which starts their own in-bed party!

    Once And For All:

    In the second film, which is a 'Sunburst Production,' Bill (Alan Marlow) is a football player and who is dating Sue (Cedar Houston), a cheerleader at the school they both attend, Charles Evans Hughes High School (which, for location nerds, used to be in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan and was, in 1983, renamed the High School For The Humanities and now appears to be operating as The Bayard Rustin Educational Campus - sorry, fell down a bit of a rabbit hole there!).

    Anyway, Sue is saving herself for marriage, much to Bill's dismay. Bill's dorky friend, Chuckie (Todd Davis), has got a thing going with the new teacher on campus, Ms. Evans (Ultramax), who gave him a blowjob and then screwed him in the geography room after class one day because 'you have a certain maturity that the other boys don't.' Bill tries again to get Sue in the sack but it doesn't work. After their talk, however, she goes to visit Ms. Evans, who is now in charge of the cheerleader squad. She teaches Sue a few new cheer moves - “1.. 2… RAH!” - but, it gets really hot in the room so they decide to take their dresses off to get more comfortable. This, of course, Evans seducing Sue and some rad lesbian sex. Meanwhile, a guy named Stinger and a guy named Betty (Jean Dalton) screw in a storage room nearby!

    Bill, getting increasingly frustrated, drinks with his friends, both of whom have laid recently, about his situation while Sue, who has had a sexual awakening, changes course and starts screwing everyone in sight!

    This one is pretty decent. The plot is nothing to write home about but it does have a good sense of humor to it that helps make this a fun, breezy watch. Marlowe and Houston do have good chemistry once they finally get together and Ultramax is well cast as the cougar out to fuck any of the students that she can, male or female. Todd Davis is also pretty funny as Chuckie and the scene with Stinger and Betty is pretty solid too. You've got to appreciate the Beach Boys' 'Be True To Your School' playing over the opening.

    After School Exam:

    Last but not least is After School Exam, a fifty-minute quickie that opens with two female friends in bed with a dude sporting some serious mutton chops, all three fully clothed. They smoke some of the devil's weed and then they start making out, which leads to a three-way - there is applause on the soundtrack when he ejaculates! A third woman walks in and literally asks 'hey, what's going on?' but no one seems all that upset by anything, in fact, they seem pretty stoned. This part seems to be spliced in from a completely different movie than the rest of the film.

    It turns out the woman who asked what was going on was named Lou, and she was furious. It seems her old man has gotten up to this type of things before. We learn this from two ladies sitting in an office at a film/recording studio gossiping. Then a black dude named Jim, a musician who uses the facility, walks in and strikes up a conversation with the unnamed woman, who introduces her friend as Annie. He splits and Anne is told that that guy is a player! From there, we follow him to music club of some sort and starts wailing on the sax with his soul band - they're pretty good, actually.

    Back at the office Anne discusses contract details with a disheveled looking hippie guy. He shows her around the place and when the beer-swilling editor decides to take a ninety-minute lunch break, buddy and Anne decide to take advantage of the alone time and get to know one another on a more intimate level. Later that night, the ladies from the office all get together at the aforementioned music club while, somewhere else that isn't very well established, another couple gets it on. The next day, Jim shows up to meet with the unnamed lady from the office and says that he hopes he'll see her tonight. Then some more people have sex and Jim shows up again but leaves with a different chick, not the main one.

    Again, the music has clearly been changed over the beginning of the film. This one is pretty hard to follow due to poor audio quality making much of the dialogue indecipherable. The female lead in this looks like Brigitte Maier, which isn't a bad thing at all, but the rest of the cast are unrecognizable. The inclusion of the soul band is kind of cool. There really isn't much of a story here but it's a harmless enough way to kill fifty-minutes with some grungy vintage smut. Also, this movie has nothing to do whatsoever with school or exams or anything despite the After School Exams title card.

    A title under this name also starring Maier was included on the Alpha Blue Archives Tongue And The Lost Films Of Brigitte Maier DVD but it appears to be a completely different film using the same name?

    42nd Street Pete's Hot For Teacher Triple Feature - DVD Review:

    Each of the three movies is presented in anamorphic 1.78.1 widescreen and transferred from film prints. They haven't been fully restored so expect a fair bit of print damage and plenty of visible scratches but that doesn't really detract from the experience much. Colors are faded and black levels all over the place but if the elements are in rough shape, at least the disc is fairly well authored and not plagued by compression artifacts or edge enhancement problems. It'd be nice if After Hours started using progressive transfers though, and on top of that the image here is clearly cropped from 1.33.1, which results in heads being chopped off now and then and other 'aesthetic' problems. There are also 'enhanced edition' copyright notices put on the title cards of each of the three films.

    The audio is on par with the video, in that it's rough but serviceable considering the origins of the films and the materials available to work with. Each of the three English language Dolby Digital Mono tracks has some hiss and some audible cracking in spots but most fans of this material won't mind so much. That said, the audio in the last film is noticeably worse, and at times hard to understand.

    Extras? Not much here, but we do get a quick intro to the disc from Pete that runs nine- minutes and allows him to talk up each of the features on the disc in his own inimitable way after discussing the demise of 42nd Street and the theaters that inhabited the area. He actually introduces the films as the Schoolgirls In Heat Collection with a girl named Josephine (from DangerousGinger.com) sitting on his lap first, and then goes on talk about how these movies haven't been seen since their original theatrical runs. Pete also provides an outro that runs nine-minutes where he smokes a joint and introduces a bonus scene with Josephine and a glass dildo that leaves nothing to the imagination.

    42nd Street Pete's Hot For Teacher Triple Feature - The Final Word:

    42nd Street Pete's Hot For Teacher Triple Feature offers up three loosely related, thematically at least (school!) features from the early seventies with the stand out being Once And For All. The aspect ratios are cropped but the presentations are watchable enough, and if you get a kick out of Pete (or his friend Josephine), well, they're here too. Not an essential release, but it has its merits.
