Movie review - "Bread" (1971) **

 Stanley Long made a lot of sexy movies. This one is more a Woodstock type tale with some sex thrown in. It really wants to be a youth musical - some kids decide to throw a pop festival on a rich idiot's estate. That's a Cliff Richard style plot. A great idea for a youth film. Songs flow naturally. You do need money for extras at the festival - the film falls over.

Suzanne Mercer the writer was married to a member of Juicy Lucy who are in the film.

One of the girls walks nude in the morning - that makes the owner of the property stay. That's a good idea for a film but never paid off - there's no relationship between the girl (or any girl) and the guy. It really should be about him falling under their spell. He doesn't he just leaves.

The guys girlfriend roots one of the guys. Again, promising. Excuse for nudity. We never see her again.

The gang make a porno with some girls. Not developed.

The guys visit a sex book shop and act as louts. No pay off.

Feels like these scenes inserted. A film torn between different stools.

I acutally didn't mind it though. Painless. Weird. Just over 60 minutes.
