*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
This short film is filled to the brim with overt double entendre sexuality. The viewer is never more than half a minute away from a dozen scantily clad chorus girls hanging onto a rising phallus or a suggestive song and dance number mocking the average housewife and her attempts at seducing their libidinous husbands while shopping through the Drake Women's Underwear Department.
It's difficult to find the exact moment where this short film goes over the top, perhaps it is the rising phallus, but it could be the chorus girl who is bent over awaiting the thumb fingerprint of a blindfolded husband…please, don't ask.
No reason to get bogged down in the plot of the film, just enjoy the effort put forth by everyone involved. It's a little film, but a very sexy one at that. The film is titillating and fun, but most of all it's fun. And unlike one of the best lines in the film uttered by a very big and older housewife while grabbing her husband away from one of the younger looking nymphs, "A great big sofa may give more comfort than a chair", this film is that chair, and really, you might find rocking back and forth in a chair very comforting.
