Primitive porn, but watchable
lor_31 August 2011
I can see the genesis of this forgotten XXX film now: pornographers sitting around see Bangalore on the map of India, and think of the pun "Bangmor" as a place name. The rest is history.

Movie's shaky start has a bevy of porn actresses dancing around in diaphanous outfits, looking like a jazz dance class, in need of remedial practice. A dwarf wearing a funny hat joins in the dance, par for the course.

Suddenly Maha (the maharajah) gets excited and five of the girls service him, with the dwarf joining in for group sex.

They are interrupted by palace guards bringing in a duo of geologists, Aloysius J. Prettybone (Rick Conlin) and his female colleague.

Maha wants them executed immediately, but they inform him that there's oil on his land, and that they can find it for him. Some very poorly done cross-talk here concerns whether they are indeed "sure" of their findings, and then the film reverts to an all-sex format.

This is very sloppily made pornography, benefiting only from some pretty girls on the payroll. Highlight for me was Bendova, initially introduced looking brainy with glasses on, being serviced by an enthusiastic, buxom lesbian bearing large, dark nipples.

Editing in the later reels, particularly in the video version preserved by Alpha Blue Archives which is likely incomplete, is ragged, presenting hump scenes on a round bed surrounded by mirrors in arbitrary, non-chronological fashion. Film ends abruptly with a money shot.

The two guards later rape Bendova, figuring they won't be punished since she's the only lady present who's not in Maha's harem, but after token resistance she acquiesces like a true porn trouper -hence this is not a rough sequence.

The director shouting out directions is heard several times on the soundtrack, most amusingly with "Cut!" left in a shot (which a professional editor would easily and routinely have removed with no effort or need to re-dub).

Muzak track is fairly odd, trying for romantic sounds with soporific versions of "What Now My Love", "Alone Together", "I Can't Get Started", "Fly Me to the Moon" and "One Night with You".
