Title: Les Bons Coups, aka Caresses Inavoubles, Caresses, released by Alpha France in 1979.
Stars: Erika Cool, Morgane, Diane Dubois, Celine Gallone, Guy Royer.
Directed by: Burd Tranbaree
Action: Light-hearted frothy fun from production and distribution company Alpha France, which had a near monopoly on French porn theaters at the time, and one of their most versatile in-house directors, Burd Tranbaree aka Claude Bernard-Aubert. Catering to predominantly bourgeois tastes of the Continental adult movie-going audiences, Bernard-Aubert frequently focused on the sexual shenanigans of comfortably middle class characters who apparently never needed to work for a living, leaving that much more time for lusty leisure.
The narrative in Les Bon Coups is centered around a pair of male best friends, one of whom (Gabriel), is an unfailing womanizer while the other (François), is quite hopeless in similar attempts. Not that it matters much, since Gabriel's not above sharing the wealth, as the opening scene with Diane Dubois illustrates, complete with a decent double penetration. Still, François agrees to seek help from very hands on psychologist Diane ,who immediately sets up a phone sex scenario with her assistant Lili, who is receiving sexual attention from Gabriel just a few doors down.
The rest of the movie details the "tests" François undergoes as part of his erotic assertiveness therapy, meaning Diane picks a target and lets her pupil loose on her. A glowingly youthful Céline Gallone appears in the most erotic segment by far, as a young girl whose parents are away for the weekend, highlighted by a breathtakingly fetishist extreme close-up of her perfect nipple rising to aroused attention. The frustrated housewife masturbating with the telephone is played by Gallia, brings up the rear with another double penetration demonstration courtesy of our horny heroes.
The sex scenes are prettily photographed by productive Pierre Fattori, whose professional expertise made him a favorite crossover companion for fornication filmmakers whenever they dabbled in the mainstream.
