Description: 

This Box workplace Global release from supplier HARRY NOVAK eschews the rough, seedy atmosphere which pervaded a lot of the adult cinema of its day, and emerges instead as a quaint and quite innocent throwback to the nudie-cuties which were so prevalent during the previous part of the decade — conserve for some fast, instead jarring, but commercially needed split-beaver closeups. Apart from its cinematic design, also the zaniness of Substitution is much more akin to a previous era.

Henry (CHUCK SAILOR) is a wacky clerk whom works at the hip Muntz Hi-Fi shop (complete of groovy 8-tracks, and a Doors poster hanging on the wall). Unhappily hitched to Alice (PATRICE NASTASIA), a pretty but continuously nit-picking Henry, wife unsuccessfully attempts his luck with the myriad of scantily dad girls whom work at the shop: “Would the proven fact that I’m married stop you from going away with me personally?”

Whenever Henry’s pal Fred realizes just how frustrated Henry is with his sex life, he suggests a visit to the Maharoni, a “groovy yogi” who has helped spice up Fred’s marriage with a method understood as “Cosmic Substitution.” (The late-Sixties infatuation with meditation and Eastern mysticism, fuelled in part by the Beatles’ association with the Maharishi Yogi, truly shines through here.) After a brief visit to the Maharoni’s pad, Henry emerges fully versed in the art of Cosmic Substitution ~ which basically means that he stares at a gorgeous girl, presses a switch on a small gizmo (that looks suspiciously like a stopwatch) and presto/That night, when spouse Alice emerges from the restroom in her nightie, she is changed in Henry’s eyes into the woman he was transfixed on earlier. (Watch for Henry’s great goofy mugging whenever he realizes the method works!)

From this point on, Substitution becomes a digital procession of bedroom frolic, as Henry performs a replacement on his wife with simply about every gal who works in his shop. Though a brief diversion occurs whenever Henry visits the coastline and unintentionally works a Cosmic Substitution with a rather beefy male, the tables get turned whenever Alice also pays a visit to the Maharoni….

From WALT DAVIS, the manager of the much less harmless The Danish Connection and Evil Come, Evil Go for Manuel S. Conde, Substitution is both stupid and extremely entertaining. It’s also sure to make any aging hippie keen to reconnect with their favorite Eastern philosophy. In person, I ran out and purchased a stopwatch immediately after viewing it….
