Tedious, underachieving porn programmer
lor_29 October 2010
Buried on an Alpha Blue Archives DVD mega-set devoted to "rough" films, WHITE SLAVERS is a boring time-killer without redeeming features.

It simplistically concerns women having sex below decks on a boat taking them to bondage overseas. You could say the story was torn from the headlines, same headlines in the 21st Century as mid-20th.

Having all the sex scenes in a boat cabin is as dull as the usual motel room or cheap studio set of rock-bottom porn. The women are unattractive, having obviously been cast on the basis of "show me your breasts, baby" sessions, including an evil looking lady with bad intentions s the boss, who definitely drags the movie down a notch or two.

When the girls stage an escape in a hardly seaworthy tiny dinghy with a "kindly" slaver, film tries for a twist ending on shore, but the clumsy "no retakes allowed" final footage is abysmal.

Sole point of interest for me was the use of the lengthy title track from Alice Coltrane's classic 1970 LP: "Ptah, the El Daoud", featuring Joe Henderson and Pharoah Sanders, a lengthy song which is played at least three times over & over here. It's on the soundtrack quietly, as if playing in the next room, making its piracy less offensive than the loud/distorted rendition in the particularly poor porn effort THE AGONY OF LACE LASH AND LOVE, also revived by ABA. Apparently cheap-jack pornographers thought that avant garde jazz, stolen without licensing fees, was just the ticket.
