Alright 70's forgotten flick.


So, I'll be the first person to post on the board...

Decent movie, John Savage does a good job in it. If you like 70's b-movies or exploitations, check this out.

The end kicked ass! That's what made the film for me!

Yeah man the ending left me sitting there with my jaw to the floor.. Definetly gave it a point in it's favor.. Overall it was a good flick and I definetly think others should enjoy it for it's timepiece into the 70s alone

This is a decent film with a strong cast, but for all the talent involved, I expected a little more momentum. The title is also a bit odd, considering it doesn't have much to do with the sister-in-law and more to do with the brother.

John Savage totally saves this film, as he's done so many times. The scene of them dumping the heroin into the river was very well directed (but is that really eco-sensible?). 6/10 for entertainment value.

Cool.

Had to ff thru some slow parts, but still a great flick has that 70s grind feel to it; great ending, john savage played the naive hippy part perfectly.

Wish I could see this. Meredith Baer was pretty sexy looking in "Private Lessons", though a small part. Looked her up after watching that, and this looks like it would be up my alley.

Ha! "Private Lessons" was one of my faves back in the day...A true classic! I've never heard of this one, though...
