Swingers' Serenade

1999 · 24 min

A wry, lo-fi curiosity that plays like a deadpan lecture on a forgotten amateur film, amusing but slight.

Directed by
Danny Plotnick
Starring
Alison Faith Levy, Miles Montalbano, Jay Hinman
Overview
A character referred to as "The Professor" introduces and comments on a filmed version of a supposed script from a 1960's home movie-making magazine. Even though the target audience would presumably be making the film at home and casting their friends and family, the script is an extremely suggestive tale of a housewife being seduced by a traveling salesman.
