JANUA-RAY: DR. COCK-LUV (1973) * ½

Three American women are kidnapped by Germans and taken to a Nazi experiment camp ran by the crazy Dr. Cock-Luv (Jerry Delony).  He hooks up the first woman to a “vibration machine”, and when that fails, he orders an SS soldier to bang her.  The next woman is threatened with a cattle prod before another officer has his way with her.  The final captive is oiled up by Nazis with a Spanish Fly ointment before yet another solider plows her.  Eventually, the camp is liberated by American G.I.’s who only have one thing on their mind.

The alternate title for Ray Dennis Steckler’s Dr. Cock-Luv was Nazi Sex Experiments.  If that puts you off, you should know that the movie is neither graphic enough to live up to that title, nor does it have the humor of Steckler’s Nazi Brothel to compensate for its overall lack of titillation.  As it is, it’s just a dull, unpleasant slog.  Heck, it’s not even up to the low standards of Steckler’s The Strange Sex Life of Hitler’s Nazis.  

The sex scenes are short, repetitive, and not very sexy.  The constant German marching band music on the soundtrack doesn’t exactly help either.  The only scene that shows any sign of passion is the lesbian pairing where two of the American prisoners use a double-edged dildo on each other.  Too bad the rest of the movie was sorely lacking this kind of heat.  

Delony overacts to the hilt, but he isn’t given any funny lines or memorable shtick to deliver.  (He was probably ad-libbing the whole time anyway.)  Other actors flub their lines and look at the camera.  At least Steckler sprang for some sets this time.  (They’re cheap, but they’re a lot better than the ones found in his other Nazi pornos.)

As far as Steckler signatures go, this is yet another Nazi porno movie.  (I guess when you find your niche, you’ve got to really stick with it.)  It also features some kaleidoscope effects during the sex scenes, just like Count Al-Kum.  Delony is the only member of Steckler’s Stock Players, having previously co-starred in Count Al-Kum.  The absence of Carolyn Brandt’s Nazi Buster is definitely felt this time around.

AKA:  Nazi Sex Experiments.  AKA:  Sex Slaves of the SS.  AKA:  Slave Girls of the SS.
