Nicely crafted golden-age porn
pepperdoggie15 April 2006
A self-described "horny but faithful" husband (John Leslie), disappointed by his wife's (Jennifer Welles) frigidity, tries to spice things up with the help of an adult home-movie system sold to him by the lovely Miss Azure (Welles again) and featuring the mysterious "Channel 69."

Several well-staged sex scenes, including one with the lovely Leslie Bovee, fleck this relic of the golden age of adult flicks. It's got an endearingly corny sense of humor, too (Miss Azure, "Little Blue Box", get it?): Leslie's snacking scene when he finally unlocks the secret of Channel 69 is a hoot.

The move to video and virtual plotlessness in modern adult cinema has robbed the genre of much of its charm, methinks. This one represents what it was like when porn was still Film-making.

Warning: Spoilers
I'm compelled to submit this review as prior IMDb-er missed the point entirely. Far from a Golden Age classic, LITTLE BLUE BOX is one of many cut-rate loop carriers from that era, recycling old stag footage.

In this case the hoary gimmick of a sort of Cable TV box that brings porn into the home (sort of a magical '70s precursor of streaming video) allows much of the film to have the viewer as a carbon copy voyeur: we watch John Leslie watch old European porn loops (likely French or German) on his TV. How exciting.

Gimmick of Jennifer Welles in a dual role (2 wigs) sounds good on paper but she has nothing interesting to do in either guise. And making matters worse the sex scenes have unsynced dialog dubbed over along with fake moaning & groaning.

After many sex scenes and slapstick the whole thing turns out to be a bad dream - utilizing the wake-up gimmick that has killed many a movie. Perhaps to cover their tracks the filmmakers have invited several guest stars, like Ming Toy, Sharon Mitchell and Gloria Leonard to participate in an orgy with Leslie and Welles.
