WILD HIPPIE ORGY (1967) **

Wild Hippie Orgy originally ran as a co-feature with Psychedelicsex Kicks.  It’s easy to see why as they are thematically similar (both involve hippies and orgies).  Not only that, but Psychedelicsex Kicks was short (less than an hour) and this one is even shorter (about a half-hour), so it made sense to run them as one ninety-minute attraction.  Even though this is only half as long as Psychedelicsex Kicks, it feels much longer thanks to the stagnant pacing, lackadaisical editing, and (mostly) disinterested performers.

People arrive for a party in a cramped apartment.  There is drinking, conversation, dancing, and music.  Some people are already naked when the party starts.  Others are in the midst of disrobing.  Eventually, more and more people get naked.  A dude starts playing the bongos, which leads to more dancing and jiggling.  Finally, a few people start making out and/or having sex.

Wild Hippie Orgy plays like an overlong stag loop.  There’s no plot, things just sort of happen, and you have to wait a long time before you get to see any action.  Although there is one sort of psychedelic sequence, I don’t remember them showing anyone actually getting high, so I’m not exactly sure what they were tripping out on.  Once the psychedelic sex action kicks into gear, the lovemaking scenes slowly become superimposed over each another while flashing lights go on and off.  Unfortunately, by showing the naughty bits in such a “trippy” fashion, it makes it hard to tell what the hell is going on.

The girls are slightly better looking than the ones found in Psychedelicsex Kicks, so that’s a plus.  Some of the music isn’t bad either.  However, it’s far from what I would call “Wild”.  (There have been Christian Mingle socials that were crazier than this.)  I’m not even sure if some of these folks could be considered “Hippies” now that I think about it.
