10/10
The Sharon and Charlie beach party massacre.
16 July 2021
Lord Love A Duck is the cinematic equivalent of Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminatus! Trilogy, full of occult references and some of the funniest scenes ever.

The central theme seems to be that if you sell your soul to the devil you will get everything you desire, the devil being MOLLYMAUK=MOLOCH.

Of course there is a price to success - if you are not willing to sacrifice those around you, you will never reach the top.

The idea of the sacrificial scapegoat is prevalent throughout the film. There are references to Jane Mansfield and Sharon Tate. At some point you will see Sharon Tate dancing with Charlie Manson, and keep in mind this film was made before the Cielo Drive murders.

It's cute, it's sexy, and it's sinister. Its waiting for you to unlock its secrets. If you love this film make sure to check 12+1 , the last film of Sharon Tate, and Pretty Poison, another film with Tuesday Weld that shares a similar theme.
