The Ramrodder
"Laid in the 19th century American West ... a time and place of unbridled carnage and carnality"
A herd of cattle and two cowboys down a hill. There is a crossroads at the end, they part company. Each one in their own way. The first four minutes of "The Ramrodder" may be good for a film of Sergio Leone or John Ford.
Perfect,
no doubt about it, but since we had aread before something, we knew
that the film would not continue on that road, but we did not expect
that it change since the fifth minute, starting with a group of
very pretty girls, taking a bath in a pond under the voyeuristic gaze of one of the cowboys.
"The
Ramrodder" soon became a movie in which for some reason every woman who
enters in the scene ends with her tits out (only tits no nude), or in
dancing scenes on which the camera dwells with passionate subjective
like Meyer. A
story where the "Indians" do not seem at all Indians but cute hippie
ready for "Woodstock" (after all the movie was shot in early 1969) who lives
in a few painted teepee in the middle of nature. A film, we can say is right for its period, "Make
love, not War", very carefree, with little plot, little money, a lot of
body parts and with some shade from "nudist" cinema.
Despite
its poor meanings and despite the long dancing scenes, topless
and improbable tribal fights ever with tits out moments, "The
Ramrodder" is a film that is fun to watch, and it is interesting, in addition to the actresses
of which we will discuss later, for the idea to set an
"sexploitation" story in a hypothetical Far West, idea not new, but always
funny.
David
F.Frieman is the uncredited producer of this film directed by a
mysterious Van Guylder, and was one of the most important producer for at
least two decades, of soft.core movies and other, with a peak in the sixties and seventies. His most famous productions are "The Adventures of Lucky Pierre" one of the first films of
Herschell Gordon Lewis, with whom he also worked in "Blood Feast," or
"Trader Hornee", "Space Thing", "The Acid Eaters" and especially " Love Camp 7 "and" Ilsa She Wolf of the SS. " The
director, the mysterious Van Guylder however, is none other than Ed
Forsyth director of "Superchick" and "Chesty Anderson U.S. Navy."
"The
Ramrodder" tells the story of Rick, a cowboy who returns home to his
beloved Lucy, after a long time, and she is waiting for him in the bathtub, with
the door house open. Apart
from that, Rick befriends a tribe of Indians and then on a tour in the
woods he had sex with Tuwana the most beautiful girl of the tribe, who gives him the
virtues. Soon after, however, was found the corpse of a squaw and Rick is convicted and sentenced to death. He is wanted by all (but he was safely at home cleaning the gun ...) he must work
hard to be able to clear his name with the help of the Indian girl and
Lucy. Murders
and mysteries that are also linked to the location, as reported by IMDB
that was set many movies, but also the home of Manson "Family"
The
protagonist is Tuwana played by the exuberant Kathy Williams that we have already
seen in "Love Camp 7" and who ended his career (what a pity!) a few years
after in 1972, after participating in twenty more or less films. As shoulders we find the red Julie Blackburn, in the role of the "officila" girlfriend
of Rick, and even a smaller part for Marsha Jordan a star of
soft-core era. Roger
Gentry who has participating in other major "B Movies" ("The Black Gestapo",
"The Thing With Two Heads") is Rick, the alleged trigger hatred between
Indians and pale faces, which otherwise would have lived in peace and in cosmic love
