Featured review
Sloppy hardcore, definitely an audience chaser
Certainly a curiosity piece nearly 40 years later, YOUNG LOVE is representative of the lowest rung of hardcore porn production, where explicit sex is the be-all and end-all. Some oddities in its content are worth mentioning.
It's the non-story of a recording studio, whose receptionist is a busybody. Throughout the hour-long film she tattletales on sexual exploits she's witnessed, a veritable chatterbox. Film's almost-ironic conclusion has her finally ready to get down herself (in mixed combo action, yet) at the finale, but is rebuffed.
This provides for a typical episodic structure, familiar from loop carriers of the period. She starts telling a dirty tale of observed sex, and then we observe it. The anonymous filmmakers go to great pains to continue this structure (as if anyone out there cared), with her always as jane-on-the-spot to peek at folks through a half-opened door, or in the most ludicrous sequence, listening to an overlong sex scene when her girl friend improperly hangs up the phone on the other end.
The girls in the cast are all relatively skanky, to use Imus's turn of phrase, and none are recognizable from the era -only nice thing is that their feet are clean for a change. Male cast is quite familiar, led by ubiquitous Keith Erickson (with ridiculous mutton-chop sideburns this time), who gets two girls at once. The ugly Henry Ferris also gets lucky with a girl.
Oddest element of YOUNG LOVE is a Black band performing a tune in the studio on-camera live, titled something like "Satisfy", that is pretty catchy and funky. It would seem that being a musical performer in porn is about as low as one could go, but it sort of makes sense in retrospect, witness the popularity among djs and collectors of the funk soundtrack to the Black-themed porn feature LIALEH.
Other music here is repeated annoyingly over & over, notably a quality jazz tune recorded live by Les McCann and Eddie Harris in their "Swiss Movement" days.
