Once they gather in a seedy apartment or two, it's all-sex, well-executed by a cast mixing Shaun regulars with fresh faces. It's a decades-before forerunner of the more recent Chat Room generated meet-up phenomenon, executed here on the bright & bubbly side, with none of the sinister predatory (and even fatal) results generated by latter-day internet blind date action. High concept from Shaun is merely a gathering of pen pals in Manhattan from all over the country, to meet up and have sex.
BEWARE the substandard, adulterated version being marketed currently by After Hours Cinema -it's been letter-boxed (removing about 20% of the visuals at top & bottom of frame) and the soundtrack scrapped in favor of generic rock music which spoils the film's tone irrevocably. 117 of Something Weird's Dragon Art Theatre series. The original product is available with a fine transfer to DVD-R on Vol. For fans of something more substantial, like a real movie, look elsewhere. PEN PALS is a good example of how Shaun Costello delivered the porn goods effortlessly in the early '70s.
