Electric Blue 005

About This Movie

So, Electric Blue 005, huh? It's this curious blend of documentary style with a touch of adult entertainment, hosted by Desiree Cousteau. The pacing is a bit ragged, jumping from Susan George's travelogue narration to home movie snippets of Jayne Mansfield, and then an interview with Raquel Welch right in the mix. It’s almost like a scrapbook of 70s pop culture and soft-core allure wrapped in one, with those nude centerfolds peppered throughout. The atmosphere feels nostalgic, almost voyeuristic, capturing an era's essence while showcasing performers and moments that still resonate. It's distinctive for the way it balances a celebratory view of the female form with brief glimpses of these iconic figures, making it more than just a string of visuals.

Electric Blue 005 has a somewhat niche appeal, often sought after by collectors due to its eclectic mix of content and the host's popularity. The format history is a bit convoluted, as various edits and releases have circulated, making it tricky to find a definitive version. Its scarcity adds to the intrigue, especially for those interested in the more unusual corners of 80s cinema and documentary filmmaking.
