No, this isn't a horror movie, but any hardcore fan of the films of George Romero and John Russo will want to check out this softcore sexploitation comedy. There are lots of familiar faces here for followers of Pittsburgh lensed scare flicks.

Miller plays Cherry Jankowski, hence the films alternate title The Liberation of Cherry Jankowski. Cherry is a product tester for Joyful Novelties, the world's leading manufacturer of sex toys. Her live-in boyfriend is a closet pre-operative transsexual, so Cherry's sex life is less than satisfying, and she spends much of the film lamenting about her overactive sex drive.

Marcello Fettucini (Ricci) is also a product tester for Joyful Novelties, and he is battling a career threatening bout of impotence. "Fettucini's got a tired weenie," chides one co-worker. Our hero seeks numerous cures, does a lot of soul searching, and ultimately attempts suicide. Finally, he learns that the antidote for his problem is the healthy wanton sexuality of Cherry Jankowski. Once again lust conquers all.

The film starts and finishes with a genuinely amusing pseudo industrial film that expounds the virtues of working for Joyful Novelties. This seems appropriate since Russo and company cut their teeth on industrial films. Spliced together, these two bits would make a pretty decent short subject reminiscent of The Kentucky Fried Movie.

The film proper starts off well enough. It's a goofy sex spoof with more double entendres than one would think possible. For example, when a new employee at Joyful Novelties asks about the retirement plan he is told, "There comes a day when each of us begins to peter out." Unfortunately the film does just that about thirty minutes into the proceedings. The gags wear thin, and the sex and nudity aren't all that titillating. Snow appears and disappears from the ground from one scene to the next, making one wonder if Ed Wood might have been the continuity director.

The film can be saved, though, by playing "Spot the Romero Alumni." The two easiest ones to pick out are Russo and Streiner who play research scientists for Joyful Novelties. Russo, of course, co- wrote Night of the Living Dead, and played two zombies in that film, including the one who is set on fire. Streiner is best known producing NOTLD, for playing Barbara's brother Johnnie, and for coining the phrase "They're coming to get you, Barbara."

David Emge, Flyboy fromDawn of the Dead, plays Marcello's brother Angelo Fettucini. Angelo is a private investigator, and despite the fact that the rest of the Fettucini family have thick Italian accents, Emge plays his entire role doing a Humphrey Bogart impression.

It may take a second or two, but most NOTLD fans will recognize George Kosana who plays the police chief who interrogates Fettucini after his suicide attempt. Kosana served as Production Manager for NOTLD, and played the sherrif leading the zombie killing posse. He's best know for the immortal line "They're dead. They're all messed up."

Ray Laine is particularly tough to pick out, both because of the beard he wears and the fact that his name is not in the credits. He has a few lines as a reporter at a Joyful Novelties press conference and previously appeared inRomero's Season of the Witch (a.k.a. Jack's Wife) and the ill-fated There's Always Vanilla (a.k.a. The Affair).

Rudy Ricci who plays Marcello Fettucini played a member of the motorcycle gang in Dawn of the Dead, and worked behind the scenes for Romero on several films inclucing NOTLD, and There's Always Vanilla. Ricci is also co-director of The Booby Hatch

The Booby Hatch is a dull flick with a few good moments, but the cameos make it historically interesting.
