Yes, before they made their marks as pop-culture dominatrices Audrey "Olga" Campbell - as well as her two costars from Olgas’s House of Shame - starred with Dyanne "Ilsa" Thorne (billed here as "Lahna Monroe") in one of the greatest sexploitation films of the sixties: director Joe Sarno’s wild and witty SIN IN THE SUBURBS!


Sin in the Suburbs (1964) - IMDB
Eager the make money off the rampant sexual shenanigans sweeping through their neighborhood, Yvette Talman (Miss Thorne) and her creepy brother Lou organize a sex club in which Mrs. Lewis (Miss Campbell) and other lust-loving suburbanites pay to participate in anonymous sex while wearing cloaks and masks: "If you’ll direct your attention to the center of the ring, the greatest animal act on earth!" But what Mrs. Lewis doesn’t know is that her teenage daughter is also a member of the club. Oops…

The Swap and How They Make It (1966) - IMDB
With Mona’s husband too busy for love, and after Karen’s fling with a college kid fizzles, they decide to take a neighbor’s advice and "trade the old model for a newer one" when they join a group of wife-swappers called "The Exchange." But when that college kid threatens to expose THE SWAP AND HOW THEY MAKE IT, he’s allowed to joing the club until a cruel joke makes his swap especially sick…So be the first on your block to savor these scintillating, stylish and surprisingly intelligent skinflicks from director Joe Sarno…. And be sure to invite the neighbors!

Sin in the Suburbs (1964) + The Swap and How They Make It (1966) [Re-UP]

Streeting the same day as previously reviewed and highly recommended Joe Sarno double feature FLESH AND LACE/PASSION IN HOT HOLLOWS is this pairing of two suburban behind-closed-doors sexploitation masterpieces, both breaking down sexual mores and peeking into the secret sex lives of housewives and bored businessmen.

Sin in the Suburbs (1964) + The Swap and How They Make It (1966) [Re-UP]

Stone-faced Geraldine Lewis (OLGA herself, Audrey Campbell) seems to have the perfect life: a successful husband, a beautiful home, and a popular cheerleader daughter, Kathy (Alice Linville, who Campbell beat the shit out of in OLGA'S HOUSE OF SHAME!). But her husband spends more time at the office than he does at home and Kathy has begun exploring the boys in her class, leaving poor Geraldine at home by herself twiddling her thumbs….. or so you would think…. Geraldine and Lisa Francis, her unhappily married next-door neighbor, invite over two men at a time during the day, trading them off for hot sex romps, until Kathy comes home early one day and catches Mommy getting felt up by a sleazy fella in her bedroom, voyeuristically watching Lisa get buckwild with her stud of the day! Enter Yvette Talman (ILSA herself, Dyanne Thorne, who only shares one scene with her fellow dominatrix) and her slimy brother Lou (W.B. Parker, who was Campbell's partner-in-crime in OLGA'S HOUSE OF SHAME!).

Discovering all the dirty little secrets of their neighbors and desperate for cash, they begin a secret sect of sex-swappers, with neighborhood couples attending donning silver Kato masks and Monk robes. But as Geraldine falls deeper and deeper into the spell of the random sex coupling, she neglects her young blooming daughter…who holds a deep dark secret of her own…

Sin in the Suburbs (1964) + The Swap and How They Make It (1966) [Re-UP]

Hailed as a sexploitation classic of the 60's, it is hard to argue that widely regarded opinion. In a historical context, SIN IN THE SUBURBS is a ground-breaking masterpiece; it was the first in the "suburban sex secrets" subgenre, predated several films which have been said to be the first "roughies," and raised the bar for well-written, well-acted, and still very sexy grindhouse films. Not only that, it's a vastly entertaining sordid expose, reportedly based on a true story! Sarno begins the film by introducing the slutty Yvette seducing and bedding a repo man so she can keep her expensive furniture (!) and then proceeds to show the average everyday life of her uptight neighbors. But are they really that normal?

On the surface perhaps, but scratch underneath and you have a hotbed of lust and desire which must be quenched, whether it be with the local handyman or a high school senior skipping school! In addition to the clever script, everyone gives a very good performance here. I have already sung the praises of Alice Linville in my FLESH AND LACE review, and I'll do it again here. According to Joe Sarno, she was 19 here, which would also mean she was 19 in FLESH AND LACE. Taking this into consideration, she is simply amazing in both films, in two incredibly different roles. In comparison, Audrey Campbell is good, but not great. She has trouble with line delivery and shows her origins as a model with her posture and facial expressions, but still leaves a lasting impression as the frustrated housewife.

Dyanne Thorne, a dark-haired vixen in juxtaposition to her usual blonde or red locks (but still with that incredible bust), would improve over the years (she was an exotic dancer around this time), but W.B. Parker is sinfully brilliant as the mastermind behind the sex-crazed cult. Another standout performance is Meg Ellison (billed here as "Marla Ellis") as Lisa, the next-door neighbor who becomes insatiable and when she can't get a man, she turns to the bottle and kicks her job-obsessed husband out, calling up anonymous members of the cult to invite them over for a little lovin' to their infuriation. Sarno says he still keeps in touch with Meg and she calls him every year on his birthday.

As much as I liked SIN IN THE SUBURBS, I thoroughly enjoyed THE SWAP AND HOW THEY MAKE IT even more! This very similar tale features several of Sarno's stock players from 1966-1967 (Lorraine Claire, Peggy Sarno aka "Cleo Nova," Judson Todd) and best of all, the transfer is culled from the original negative! In a snowy upstate New York village, two unhappily married women bide their time with each other's company. The husbands of beautiful blonde Mona (Lorraine Claire, who was usually cast as a frigid Frau with passionate urges) and big-haired brunette Karen (lovely German Sheila Britt) are busy developing their own company, with their love lives suffering in the process (Karen's husband is played by Warhol Factory actor Louis Waldon!). Mona's next-door neighbor Brooke suggests the girls join the area's most happening club, "The Exchange." Rather than the usual men-swapping-wives routine, this time round it's the horny wives who switch husbands for a night of sexy fun!

If you liked SIN IN THE SUBURBS, you'll love THE SWAP! Quite a cliché recommendation, but it definitely applies here. Where there was an uncertainty in some of the performances and camerawork in SIN, any apprehension Sarno may have had lensing a virtually sexless exploitation film has disappeared. He had developed his own brand of sexy melodramas by this time, and THE SWAP is a perfect example of what makes his movies work so well, even today. All the performances are perfect, especially Lorraine Claire as the inquisitive young wife who bursts into tears when her husband's too tired after a busy week for an evening of marital bliss and finally takes the plunge into "The Exchange," becoming addicted to its forbidden delights.

For another marvelous Claire film, check out THE BED AND HOW TO MAKE IT, where she plays a bitchy hotel owner whose marriage is thrown on the rocks by her visiting niece. Of course the cast had a superb script to work with, with smart dialogue, impressive characterization, and an emphasis on sexual psychology and its translation to the screen rather than the usual bump-n-grind that frequented 42nd Street. THE SWAP is simply superb, I give it my highest possible recommendation! Plus it has an incredible garage band rock theme that pops up at all the right moments!

Accompanying SIN IN THE SUBURBS is another astonishingly educational audio commentary with director Joe Sarno, his wife/leading lady Peggy Steffans (who is quieter this time around, as the film was shot before she became associated with Joe), and moderators Mike Vraney and Frank Henenlotter. Unlike the PASSION IN HOT HOLLOWS commentary on the previous disc, this commentary focuses on Sarno's early years, from his first feature SIN YOU SINNERS! through his lost film LASH OF LUST and offering plenty of anecdotes on the true story the film is based on (!), his thoughts on his contemporary filmmakers like Russ Meyer, Barry Mahon, Bob Cresse, and Dave Friedman, memories of Alice Linville, Audrey Campbell, and Dyanne Thorne, and also finds plenty of time to talk about more of his amazing filmography (MOONLIGHTING WIVES, RED ROSES OF PASSION, YOUNG PLAYTHINGS, working with Harry Reems and Sonny Landham). Vraney and Henenlotter once again make a great case for appreciating their rare finds (SIN IN THE SUBURBS had a 15 print count, and this is one of two prints that have surfaced since 1997!) and getting over less-than-perfect video quality.

You also get some fabulous background noises typical of New York City (the commentary was recorded at Henenlotter's Village apartment) like barking dogs and blaring police sirens. Even worse, the two SWV head honchos claim they can't release MOONLIGHTING WIVES because of print condition! I say bring it on!! However, on the flip side, good news is that Mike hints at acquiring MISTY, ABIGAIL LESLIE IS BACK IN TOWN!, and several other color Sarno films…
