"Jim Carlton" (George E. Carey) is a film director who is working on a modern film but is out-of-date as far as the cultural lingo is concerned. As luck would have it Jim's wife "Mona Carlton" (Luanne Roberts) has called for a babysitter that night by accident. Once the babysitter, "Candy Wilson" (Susan Romen) arrives Mona tells her husband that she is going away to see her mother which leaves Jim and Candy by themselves. It's at this time that Candy reads the script for the film and tells Jim that the slang needs updated and offers to take him to a hip nightclub. One thing leads to another and soon Jim and Candy end up sleeping together. Meanwhile, Mona has found herself in a bit of trouble because rather than going to her mother's house she has ventured to see a drug dealer named "Rich Harris" (James Almanzar) because she is in dire need of some heroin, Yet even though she pays him the exorbitant price he has asked for he wants even more. And because of her condition she is in no position to argue. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this movie bears a remarkable similarity to "The Babysitter" which was produced a year earlier. For example, George E. Carey starred in the lead role as the man seduced by the babysitter in both movies. Likewise, the name of the babysitter in both films was "Candy Wilson" played by Patricia Wymer in the first and the aforementioned Susan Romen here. However the plot is more dual-edged in this particular movie with half of the focus being on Mona Carlton's predicament. On the other hand, although Susan Romen performed in a solid manner she wasn't quite as sensational as Patricia Wymer. On another note, while the scenarios were definitely dated they managed to entertain for the most part. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the ending which was more than a little corny. That said, even though I enjoyed it I must admit that this movie isn't for everybody and it will probably only appeal to those who like this particular sub-genre and were alive during this strange period in time. Be that as it may I rate this movie as about average.

Contrary to internet myths, this isn't a pornographic movie. The idea of a teen babysitter having relations with a middle-aged man is rather disturbing (he's old enough to be her grandfather, ewww). But it was made in 1970, the same year as 'I Drink Your Blood' and during the free love movement. Oddly enough, this weird little movie is a great example of the ideology and flaws of the times, not to mention the nostalgia of the film quality and soundtrack itself.Basically, the movie is divided between a husband and wife. The husband is having a sexual affair in secret with a teenage babysitter, being introduced to the glamorized version of the hippie lifestyle. The wife is a junkie who is being held hostage by her suppliers. If a movie like this one was around today, the husband would hopefully be charged and the wife would get into rehab... hopefully.It was surprisingly a likable movie, actually rather corny by today's standards. It's the 1970's low-budget music and film type style I like, not necessarily the plot itself. I watched it thinking that maybe I'd get a few laughs out of it but knowing that it likely wouldn't be very good, and what do you know? It was certainly interesting; the idea that this movie gives off is that "you're never too old to have fun, get it on and do drugs with hippies and teenagers, and everyone else around you enjoys it, too". In reality, a situation like the one presented in this movie would just be sad, weird, wrong and crazy. It's strange how movies can either romanticize or make too big a deal out of various situations, and this movie does a good job of that. The motorcycle shots were pretty cool, I'll give it that. And at least the babysitter made the husband see how much he truly loved his wife and kids in the end, so it's got some class - but not very much.One question though - where were the babysitter's parents, for crying out loud? Their teenage daughter is making love to a pervy old man while his wife is getting high with her kidnappers! What's WRONG with these people!?

Square middle-aged movie director Jim Carlton (nicely played by George E. Carey, who also produced the picture and co-wrote the story) befriends sweet, but foxy and enticing teenage babysitter Candy Wilson (a winningly warm and sincere performance by gorgeously voluptuous brunette stunner Susan Romen). Candy shows Jim the real swinging 70's youth scene and eventually has a steamy May-December fling with him. Meanwhile, Jim's pathetic shrewish junkie wife Mona (a perfectly bitchy Luanne Roberts) runs afoul of slimy drug dealer Rich Harris (a pleasingly nasty portrayal by James Almanzar). Director Tom Laughlin, working from a pretty thoughtful and sensitive, yet still quite trashy and melodramatic script by James E. McLarty (who has a small part as friendly dock worker Smitty), admirably doesn't wallow in the sleaze to the ninth degree; instead Laughlin offers a tasty, vivid and refreshingly nonjudgmental evocation of the happening early 70's youth culture (the sequence where several affable hippies teach Jim the proper way to toke on a joint is a real hoot!). Yes, this film does deliver a generous sprinkling of yummy female nudity and a few fairly hot soft-core sex scenes, but overall it's not the all-out crassly lurid piece of pandering sleaze that its premise suggests it might be. The hippie characters are shown in a positive light while Jim is drawn as a basically decent and well-meaning guy. Carey and Romen are both fine in the lead roles; they receive sturdy support from Annik Borel as Harris' kinky bisexual girlfriend Doris, Anthony Victor as browbeaten, sympathetic flunky Sancho, Bob Bernard as amiable longhair A.K., and Gloria Hill as fetching, flighty hippie chick Mary Mary. Both Jack Steely's sharp cinematography and Robert O. Ragland's groovy-jammin' score are up to par. A cool little flick.

Despite the suggestive title, and the fact that it was produced by Crown-International Pictures (the makers of a number of sleazy drive-in movies), WWTB is far from the sleazefest that you may think it will be. In fact, the movie for the most part seems to be making an effort to be pretty tasteful. This may make the movie sound pretty boring, but the movie manages to be surprisingly entertaining all the same.To start with, the movie's male protagonist is not a selfish dirty old man who has the "seven year itch" and lusts after his family's babysitter. He's actually made to be pretty sympathetic early on. It's clearly shown that his marriage has problems, and while some of these problems may come from him, we see that the majority of the strife comes from his wife. (Also, we see that he has been making efforts to improve the relationship, but they haven't been working.) Then when he subsequently finds himself with the babysitter and starts doing things with her, having an affair seems the last thing on his mind for a considerable amount of time. As well, it's shown that when the affair starts, the babysitter does as much - if not more - to start the affair.Also a pleasant surprise is how our protagonist interacts with the friends of his babysitter. He doesn't talk down to them, seems genuinely interested in them, and freely tries their activities. Also pleasing is that these same young people don't seem to have a problem with him being much older than them. They are very friendly to him, and gladly teach him of his ways. There is an underlying sweetness to the movie, even with the inevitable nudity and sex that eventually arrives.In fact, the movie is actually very dialogue-driven for its first half, and while the dialogue may not be up to Shakespeare, it has a natural inviting feeling that keeps your attention. The dialogue makes these characters interesting, giving them quirks that you don't often see in movies like this. (Such as with the sympathetic junkie seen in the subplot with the wife.) The movie is far from perfect; the last hour has some clunky and somewhat boring bits, and there seems to be no firm resolution between our protagonist and his babysitter (or with his wife, for that matter.) But I still highly recommend this to those who like drive-in movies. Hard to believe this was directed by "Billy Jack" himself!
