Lina!
BandSAboutMovies26 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Three couples have rooms at the Free Loive Hotel: a short man and a tall woman who have met through the personal ads of a porn magazine, a shy man with a domineering wife and a couple on their honeymoon. The ladies are all unfulfilled but the hotel can take care of that with room service, so to speak, but the best help comes from Nina (Lina Romay), an adult star staying in the hotel while practicing a role for a movie.

Directed by Jess Franco and written by Franco, producer Robert de Nesle and Lucette Gaudiot, this movie may seem familiar to you. That's because Franco remade it as El hotel de los ligues four years later.

Beyond Lina - performing as Candy Coster - there's also Aida Vargas (who appears in four other Franco movies, Cocktail spécial, Je brûle de partout, Swedish Nympho Slaves and Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun), Susan Hemmingway (Sinfonia Erotica, Two Female Spies With Flowered Panties), Martine Fléty (Blue Rita), Beni Touxa (Cocktail spécial) and Marina Hedman (Satan's Baby Doll, Erotico 2000, Images In a Convent, Play Motel).

You just have to decide if you want to see the adult version of this story, which would be this movie, or the softer one, which is El hotel de los ligues.

"strong erotica" ?
rlcsljo25 May 2003
Somehow, it seems that bad porn from the seventies is now being reclassified as "strong erotica". This movie has all the trappings of the old porno 1) Very little pretense at plot (although more than "hardcore" of today): A bunch of hubbies at a hotel are having erectile problems with their significant others until a slut shows them, and everyone else in the hotel, how to do it. She even goes so far has to help them when they are sleeping. 2) Lots of oral contact with just about every erogenous zone, but surprisingly few hard responses from the guys. (a couple with phony spunk shots) 3) A brief explicit sex scene, without a spunk shot.

All of the woman, except Romay, are young and in fairly good condition. The guys are in good shape, but don't "stand out" very far, if you know what I mean.

That Certain Taste

That Certain Taste (1978)

** (out of 4)

Three couples are staying at a hotel and all are having sexual issues. One day a professional porn star (Lina Romay) shows up and teaches everyone how to do it. This hardcore film is once again from Spanish director Jess Franco and this one here is certainly the best of the three I've seen. Again, I'm really not sure how to rate this stuff but Romay, when not sexually servicing everyone, has a lot of nice, comedic moments, which is why I rank this the highest. It's also nice seeing Susan Hemmingway, although it took me a while to get use to seeing her in hardcore scenes. Again, this normally isn't my type of thing but my goal is to see every Franco film
