Raquel's Thrill

Entertainment, of course
follows a strict but simple
formula: Violence and sex.
Hannie Caulder has violence
and sex. It also has violent sex,
and, for the old twisteroo, sexy
violence.

It also has the magic miracle
ingredient, Raquel Welch. How
many times will people chuck
out two bucks to see a flash of
thigh, a bit of breasts, or a
fleeting glance at some gludius
maximus? If they wanted to
see skin, they could pay the
same and get much more in
other films. If they wanted to
see good acting, the same is
true.

Then why do they go see
Raquel Welch? Apparently,
some are waiting for the final,
spectacular strip that will
reveal all and Nirvanna will be
achieved. But don't hold your
breath. The thigh-flashing
routine is all she has going for
her, and once those bosom is
bared, baby, the thrill is gone.
