Alpha Blue Archives has done yeoman work unearthing dozens of ephemeral NYC vintage porn films, including those that played at the old Avon 7 theater off Times Square. Shaun Costello, Richard Mailer and Joe Davian get credit for most of these titles, but no one would want to claim SWEET LUST, a really garbage exercise.
The anonymous filmmakers actually had pretensions, with Renee Duval cast as a Frenchified version of the goddess Minerva, living in a Manhattan cold water flat.
Tiresome and ugly hour of humping has very little plot, mainly Minerva with the aid of a very cheap and unconvincing dry ice effect, and even crummier indoor "storm" barely a fan blowing at high speed effect, to cause instant horniness to a bevy of NYC porn regulars including Alan Marlow, Ultramax in an ugly wig and Levi Richards.
The resulting orgies are dull and unappealing, with eroticism not in the film's quiver. Looking frantic and not fitted with a real character to play is Bobby Astyr in one of his least interesting assignments that I can recall. His big moment comes when exasperated he locks Minerva up in a closet, but she works her will even behind locked doors. She also masturbates with a belt he tied her up with.
I've seen this untalented actress Duval in most of her roles (at least those listed in IMDb and I'm not sure why she was hired for any of them. Since I don't find Ultramax in the least appealing (I fortunately never saw her grade Z movies back in the '70s when I was highly selective in my Adult filmgoing), SWEET LUST left a sour taste after viewing.
