NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Michael_Elliott Hot Blooded Woman (1965) 1/2 (out of 4) Really awful sexploitation film has Myrtle Pennypacker (Beverly Oliver) losing her mind after discovering her husband is a lying cheater. This causes her to be thrown into a nut house but she soon escapes with tragic results.HOT BLOODED WOMAN is a sexploitation film that was shot in Texas and would probably be even more forgotten today if it weren't for Oliver being in the lead role. If you're familiar with the JFK assassination then you might recognize her name because she was the secretary of Jack Ruby and she ended up appearing in several conspiracy movies as well as being someone who helped Oliver Stone on his film JFK.With that out of the way, pretty much everything else here is horrible including the awful narration and dialogue. The film was shot silent and I'm not sure what they did to add the vocal track but it sounds really awful. Another problem is that the 68-minute running time feels like three hours because we're usually just watching the lead characters making out for an extended period of time.What's worse is that the only nudity comes from one small sequence, which looks like it could have been taken or shot for a different movie and just thrown in here to spice it up a bit. Still, HOT BLOODED WOMAN is one of those movies were someone just gets a camera thinking that making a movie would be easy and the end result is something really bad like this.

Woodyanders Frustrated and unhappy restless sweet young thing Myrtle Pennypacker (adorable blonde dish Shirley Boyd) goes off the deep end after she discovers that abusive husband George (writer/director Dale Berry) is cheating on her. Myrtle gets committed to an asylum, but escapes and tracks George down so she can kill the two-timing jerk. Berry relates the trashy story at a constant snappy pace and fills out the skimpy 69 minute running time with plenty of mild soft-core sex scenes and a decent smattering of tasty female nudity (the definite highlight occurs when a foxy brunette removes all her clothes to take an utterly gratuitous, but still much-appreciated bath). Moreover, we also get a fierce catfight, Myrtle doing a wild dance on top of a table at a seedy bar, and a neat bit by Larry Buchanan film regular Bill Thurman as a hulking would-be rapist who has a fist fight with George. The rough, scratchy black and white cinematography, ragged editing, and poorly dubbed in dialogue all greatly enhance the pervasive seaminess. The groovy swinging jazz score hits the soulful spot. The cool rocking bluesy theme song likewise smokes. Nice bummer ending, too. A pleasingly sleazy diversion.

IMOvies HOT BLOODED WOMAN (1965) (BAD) (D: Dale Berry) Worthless and unwatchable. Black and white cheapie promises much sex, delivers nothing. Tame and uninvolving, apparently filmed silent with unconvincing sound added later. Not even fun in a sleaze way. 68 very dull minutes.

EdYerkeRobins Sometimes film is messy. Sometimes suspense and drama are messy. However, there are some who believe that a film can be suspenseful and dramatic solely on the virtue of it being messy and confusing. "Hot Blooded Woman" is one such film, and, although it's certainly messy and confusing, has nothing but that and its score to its credit."Hot Blooded Woman" has a rather meager plot, at best. It appears to be a simple "wife gets revenge on cheating/unappreciative husband" story, yet it hints at so much more. Unfortunately, those hints are never developed or realized, and it all comes off as terribly disjointed. The audience is supposed to feel sorry for main character Myrtle, when her demeanor and actions vary wildly from scene to scene (e.g. one minute she is being raped, only to begin willingly making out with her rapist). In the same manner, her husband George is made out to be the bad guy, but, even though it clearly shows him "cheating on Myrtle", before they were married, during the marriage he seems totally loyal to her and concerned with her well-being afterward and the most competent person in the whole movie.The producers and editors certainly did nothing to rectify that situation. There are no smooth transitions between scenes; every single one is forced, noticeably cutting off many scenes. It seems like a lot is missing, but at the same time because of the lack of plot none of it seems terribly important or worthwhile. What scenes are shown unabridged are so pointless that the lack of a solid plot is further aggravated. Watch as Myrtle dances for five minutes straight, or Myrtle's husband Greg fights for ten minutes with a man she was randomly making out with (after he tried to rape her), only for the other man to run off with no reason or rhyme. What gives these scenes even more of a serene, dream-like quality is the score, which is surprisingly good, and, given that there is little dialogue, holds up well amongst all its repetitions throughout the picture. It's still far from a timeless movie score, but the jazz/big band tunes are certainly the most enjoyable aspect of the film. Watching these scenes are a strange experience indeed, as the film becomes less and less of a film to the point that it seems more like someone's extended takes of drunken escapades on home-movies."Hot Blooded Woman" is a movie that's very difficult to make any sense of. Though that might be expected of some of its audience because of its genre (exploitation), even those viewers will be disappointed and confused because there isn't even any nudity or real violence in the picture.
