Carnal Go-Round

About This Movie

Carnal Go-Round is an interesting mix of raunchy humor and street life realism. Alice, the seasoned hooker, imparts her knowledge to the naive Minnie. Their dynamic is where the film really finds its footing, balancing comedy with the occasional somber note when Minnie's fiancé Arnold steps in. The pacing has a loose, almost improvisational feel, which fits the quirky atmosphere quite well. Performances are all over the map, but they lend a certain charm to the project. It's a reflection on the complexities of life in the city, and while it has its share of typical adult film tropes, it also manages to touch on deeper themes of love and acceptance in very unexpected ways.

Carnal Go-Round’s obscure nature makes it a curious piece for collectors. Its limited releases on various formats have created scarcity, especially original prints. Though it’s not widely discussed in the mainstream, the film does have a niche following, particularly amongst those who appreciate the blending of adult themes with comedy. Interest in the film has seen a resurgence, particularly among collectors focused on the 70s adult cinema movement.
