EASY PICK-UP is a boring all-sex film with a warning: don't believe the nonsense written by the shill on the back of the SWV box. The moron gets paid to try and make this one sound good, but he didn't watch very attentively, referring to a "bearded buddy" several times in his synopsis when in fact nobody in the film has facial hair beyond the de rigeur mustache and long sideburns. Nonexistent plot has Mary and her girlfriend checking into the DeSoto Motel (which they charmingly refer to verbally as the No-Tell Motel), getting a guy to come over and service them. Punch line is that when an orgy is arranged later, she is surprised to see her steady boy friend show up. That's all she wrote.
Directed by —, Easy Pick-up leans on a strong ensemble — Tricia Opal, Penny King, Maggie Matson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1974.
