They Came To Play

About This Movie

So, 'They Came To Play' is this rather obscure silent porn loop from '71, and it’s got a title that’s pretty misleading. You might think you’re in for some sports-themed action, but it's really just an adult film wrapped in a mundane package. The pacing is slow, typical of the era, making it feel almost like a curious relic rather than a compelling narrative. What caught my eye? There’s a blonde reminiscent of June Wilkinson who plays a significant role, and her presence adds a layer of intrigue, even if the film itself doesn't have much to offer. The atmosphere is distinctly retro, with a grainy quality that gives it that authentic vintage vibe, making it a curious watch for those into early adult cinema.

This film is part of the 'Something Weird' revival on Vol. 43 of their Dragon Art Theatre series, which speaks to its niche appeal. While it seems that the director remains unknown, the scarcity of this title adds to its collector interest. Copies can be hard to find, and those with an appreciation for the evolution of adult cinema might find value in its historical context, despite the lack of depth in narrative or production.
