Sweet Secrets

About This Movie

So, 'Sweet Secrets' is kind of a curiosity piece from 1977. The premise is wacky—a thief goes undercover as a handyman in an antique shop to snag this outrageous solid-gold dildo. The tone walks this weird line between heist comedy and something a bit more risqué, with a vibe that feels quintessentially 70s, if you know what I mean. The pacing is a little uneven, but it has its moments of charm that pull you in. The performances, while not groundbreaking, have this quirky energy that makes you appreciate the absurdity of the whole thing. Plus, the practical effects, particularly relating to the antique shop, have their own charm. It’s definitely distinctive in its approach to blending humor and heist tropes.

This film isn't exactly a household name, and finding it can be a bit tricky. It’s been released in various formats over the years, but the original VHS tapes are particularly scarce. Collector interest seems to stem from its offbeat premise and the cultural context of the 70s. It's definitely one of those titles that pops up in discussions about oddities of the era, making it a fun discussion piece in any collection.
