Extremely timid approach to eroticism
My review was written in October 1983 after watching the show on a Karl Video cassette.
"Thighs & Whispers" is a brief, ineffective made-for home video item that presents a survey of women's lingerie. Though attractively packaged (with an inaccurately listed running time of 45 minutes -which actually clocks in at under 40), videotape does not deliver.
After a tongue-in-cheek opening warning the viewer not to overexert himself (spoofing the mandatory health warning of exercise tapes), program unfold as a fashion show lensed at a nightclub, embellished with studio footage, asinine folks-on-street interview responses and "hot" still montages.
Unashamedly aimed at voyeurs, tape is a letdown in that the main footage is tame enough (almost) for network tv use, as the attractive models are covered up to the same degree as beauty contestants in a televised pageant. To spice things up, frequent still photos featuring semi-nude models or women in see-through lingerie (their faces never visible) are inserted.
Attempts at humor here are poor, with the audience surrogate hero (played by Abraham Levon) imagining all the women he meets (bartender, check-in girl) at the club transformed from normal clothing into lingerie, via a hoary throwback to the original "Immoral Mr. Teas" nudies.
