This bit of very '70s male film does one thing for anyone doing archaeological digs in the field of adult films of this particular bent- it gives a look into what the Vista Theater once was in the day when it showed movies such as the very one as it is shown within this one. The last shot of Jim Battaglia retorting to the cashier who had asked him about the movies seen as he leaves the place: "What movies?" Go have yourself a Margaret Mead moment. As we all know, today (2006) the Vista is one of the best venues to see first-run major releases in its now refurbished and expansive seating arrangement. Local talent, such as Sam, who was a bartender at the now-defunct Detour (just down the street on Sunset), are featured.
