Pretty good release of rare Monica Gayle/Larry Buchanan film

First, the "sticky" stuff: I'm not certain if this film is in the public domain or not, so I can't comment about the legitimacy of this release. I'll have to leave that to the legal scholars.
The DVD's image is better than I expected. It's even letterboxed somewhere between 1:66-1 and 1:85-1. The color is slightly faded, but this film was originally shot on the cheap by low-budget filmmaker Larry Buchanan.
The film is about a beautiful young virgin, who is given one day to experience emotional and physical love before Death will claim her. She meets three different men, one of whom becomes special to her. It's a light drama which probably plays best to those who worship at the altar of Monica Gayle. There is some nudity, but nothing heavy. Filmed in 1970, the film is a perfect example of that era's softcore product.
Overall, the DVD is worth having, especially for Monica Gayle completists and softcore film enthusiasts. Compared to a horrible-quality gray market copy that's been floating around for years, this new DVD is much better. The only downside is that the DVD is missing about two minutes of footage from one of the softcore sequences, as though the previous owner of the master print deleted some footage for his "private collection." There are a few stray markings such as print scratches that further indicate that the new DVD may have been struck from a pretty good 16mm print.

great movie.

A classic movie of innocence and respect for that innocence. One of the great coming-of-age-movies of all time. But that sounds like a cliche. This movie stands alone as a great movie. It's wonderful in it's simplicity. Thanks.

What a waste

I don't know. Somehow the description intrigued me so I went for it. Maybe there are some lessons to be learned in this movie but I gotta tell you it's pretty bad. Bad acting. Bad music. The only thing that could have saved this movie was if Woody Allen had played the part of Death. I looked the movie up on IMDb and it gets a 2.9 rating. That's out of 10!
So, why did I watch the whole thing? I'm home sick with a Kindle.
