Review

Primitive Love (1964) is an Italian exploitation film with the gaff (to lure in the suckers) and the square (to make everything ok) in the same film. The gaff? A film named Primitive Love staring Jayne Mansfield. The square? Lots of native breasts a la National Geographic. Jayne checks into a hotel, calls her professor, then parades around in lingerie. This is noticed by two lust-filled bellboys who pop in and out for what is supposed to be comic relief. When her professor arrives, she informs him that her thesis is that mankind has not progressed from the primitives when it comes to love and sex.

As you might have guessed, this is a new offering from Something Weird video, and is chiefly interesting as a great example of the genre. Nothing is listed at IMDb in the way of ratings, reviews, etc. This is an F by nearly any standard, except as a curiosity. However, it is a prized part of my collection for its historical significance. It also helps that it is another great restoration job by SWV from very old source material.

Nudity Report: For most of the film, Mansfield shows her professor footage she supposedly shot of native courting rituals, liberally sprinkled with breasts. Finally, at the end, she strips to her undies, and finally bare breasts with the old arm cover routine to prove her point.
