Let's start with the title. From what I can gather, the original French title of Frederic Lansac's film is Blue Ecstasy, but it was also released as (translated to English, in some cases) Experiments in Blue, Extra-Marital Ecstasies, Perverted Games of Insatiable Girls, and Games for an Unfaithful Wife (which is the version that seems most widely available, http://pornonomy.blogspot.com/2021/03/blue-ecstasy-1976.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Roger Feelbert)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037061498674152514.post-3870192225652040315Tue, 23 Mar 2021 14:49:00 +00002021-03-23T10:49:32.988-04:001981CC25My initial plan was to point out Peaches and Cream the title has nothing to do with Peaches and Cream the film, and wonder if the reason Robert McCallum didn't call it Sunny was because Warren Evans had released a Candida Royalle-helmed picture titled so two years prior. But then, the more I considered the film, the more I wondered if the title wasn't actually well-considered irony rather than a http://pornonomy.blogspot.com/2021/03/peaches-and-cream-1981.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Roger Feelbert)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037061498674152514.post-923198061701846326Tue, 16 Mar 2021 16:32:00 +00002021-03-16T15:09:32.604-04:00I figured since I'm now twenty five reviews into the Pornonomy reboot, I'd take a little time to review...the reviews, I guess?First, a quick look at how things have changed.

Unfortunately, Champagne for Breakfast does nothing to earn it's 102 minutes.
