Rita (Linda Boyce) shares an apartment with the sex-crazed Monique. Rita is an aspiring writer and she’s decided that Monique’s amorous adventures will provide ideal material for a book. She’s going to call the book Monique, My Love.
Monique wants to become an actress. She knows what acting is all about and she figures she has the right qualifications - she’s willing to take her clothes off. She’s willing to take her clothes off on the set or in the producer’s office.
Monique starts her training as an actress. Her training involves taking her clothes off and watching other girls take their clothes off on film.
Hearing about Monique’s adventures gets Rita very excited. She starts to have all sorts of sapphic fantasies abut Monique.
And that’s pretty much it for the plot. The whole movie is just a string of about five extended nude/sex sequences. Unfortunately they go on too long and they’re filmed in a remarkably uninspired way. This is really about as basic as a skin flick gets.
If it’s naked female flesh that you want then there’s an enormous amount of nudity here including plenty of frontal nudity and there’s no question that the women are very attractive.
The film-within-a-film sequence with the girl with the gun is the highlight because the girl happens to be exceptionally gorgeous and there are at least very slight glimmerings of imagination in the way she’s filmed.
Monique, My Love does tick the required boxes to keep distributors happy. It has female masturbation, some kinkiness and some bondage and some girl-on-girl action. There’s nothing that could actually be called a sex scene. It’s just naked fooling about.
On the plus side it’s a fairly good-natured film. It’s certainly not a roughie. It’s just that even with all that nudity it doesn’t generate any sparks. Monique in fact seems to approach sex with total indifference.
The movie was shot without synchronised sound and even by sexploitation standard this is clearly a cheapie.
The transfer is excellent.
There’s the usual collection of trailers and short films but the most amusing of the extras is the collection of vintage TV bra and girdle commercials. They’re quite a hoot and by the end of it you’ll know more about vintage women’s underwear than you ever needed to know.
The second film on the disc, Babette (Return of the Secret Society), isn’t great but it’s a lot better than Monique, My Love. If you’re a Something Weird completist you’ll buy the disc anyway but if you’re new to the sexploitation genre Something Weird have much better offerings available than this one.
