Pets, Babes in Cages!

Pure 1970s drive-in exploitation...what could be better?  Babes in cages?  Tamed. Whipped. Submissive. Clad in shiny lingerie.  Yes, that is all here, but first we'll have a babe teenager frolicking, nude, and vulnerable.  Sultry dames in bikinis, nudity, lingerie, cleavage friendly blouses...and the men who exploit is what our film is about today.  Our feature today is 1973's "Pets," directed by Raphael Nussbaum.

Bonnie (Candice Rialson) runs away. The big breasted teen runs away from her domineering brother and a gang of African American thugs.  On the run, broke and alone, she meets street wise Pat (Teri Guzman). Pat befriends her but this new friend is into armed robbery.  Ultimately, Pat will rob Bonnie, too.  Still on the run, Bonnie is taken in by a seemingly good soul, the sultry Geraldine (Joan Blackman).  Geraldine is a babe with great cleavage and is an artist (painter).  She invites Bonnie to move in with her so she can use her as a model.  Bonnie does and Geraldine takes advantage of Bonnie's vulnerability to have passionate lesbian sex with her.  Bonnie is not a lesbian and Geraldine is...arguments result and bloody carnage will result...you will see.

Enter art collector, Vincent (Ed Bishop...the Commander Stryker guy from "UFO").  He loves Geraldine's work and loves Bonnie.  Now Geraldine runs to this suave, rich guy.  Uh oh!  Vincent also collects women. Bonnie will be stripped and whipped into submission...then caged.  Now Vincent makes a move to capture Geraldine and cage her, as well.  What follows is unbelievable, and right out of a Max Gunssler novel. We have to give Vincent credit for his ambition...he intends to whip Geraldine's lesbianism out of her.  He also dresses his women in shiny satin lingerie...and believe it or not, Bonnie seems to take to her new lifestyle.  Wait!  Looks can be deceiving.  Vulnerable and helpless Bonnie may not be as vulnerable and helpless as first appeared...you'll see.

For some good old fashioned 70s exploitation, this is the film for you. Women in cages!  Tell me no part of that appeals to you.  Women flaunting cleavage and dressed in shiny lingerie!  Tell me that doesn't appeal to you.  Have some fun without feeling guilty about it.  Next time someone raves about the movie "Oppenheimer," you rave about "Pets."  When they ask you what it was about...tell them and do it proudly. For a prurient good time, see "Pets."
