My Tongue is Quick

About This Movie

So, 'My Tongue is Quick' is one of those John Holmes vehicles that plays around with the detective genre while leaning heavily into adult themes. The atmosphere is pretty laid-back, with that classic 70s vibe, all set on a yacht that's more about glamour than grit. Holmes portrays this private dick who's not just solving mysteries but also servicing the Hollywood elite, which creates this odd blend of comedy and eroticism. The performances, especially from Holmes, bring a certain charm, even if the pacing might feel uneven at times. It's quirky, with a sense of humor that doesn’t take itself too seriously, making it a unique piece in Holmes' filmography.

This title has a somewhat obscure status among John Holmes films, often overshadowed by his more mainstream works. It was released in the early 70s, during a period when adult films were experimenting with narrative structures and tones. As such, it’s become a point of interest for collectors who appreciate the intersection of adult themes and genre storytelling. Finding a good copy can be tricky, making it a more sought-after piece for those looking to complete their Holmes collection.
