Untamed (1978)

sleazy noirpsychological gamesvintage exploitation

Overview

A private detective tours bookstores to publicize his book about some of the cases on which he had worked. A journalist asks him about the cases he could not include due to their sexual nature, and they are shown in vignettes. As the vignettes advance, the private detective makes the situation with the buxom journalist more and more more intimate despite her initial protests.

Acting

Kay Parker brings surprising presence to exploitation material.

Best for:Solo: Late night curiosity viewing with the lights low.·Background: Weird ambiance for a 70s-themed party.
Heads up:Sexual Content: Frequent explicit scenes with dubious consent framing.·Disturbing: The 'protest to passion' trope aged horrifically badly.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Kay Parker would become the biggest name in 70s adult cinema; this was her mainstream-ish stepping stone. The casting of legit adult performers in 'respectable' exploitation was a brief 70s trend.

Insight

The 'detective narrating cases' frame was lifted wholesale from radio noir and cheap paperback sleaze—here used to create faux-legitimacy for what is essentially four short softcore films.
