Joe Sarno Movies

[dcj2112]

I have at least 4 of them from Something Weird. Possibly more.

I've been watching his tamer stuff from the 1960s. Although they are WAY longer than they need to be I'll say that compared to other Something Weird oddities they compel you to keep watching. An attempt is made to flesh out the characters and the stories are easy to follow and have some logical progression.

Some Sarno fans go too extreme in defending him though. I was reading one review of his movies that bemoaned the fact grindhouse distributors promoted an Ingmar Bergman movie as a porno so what chance did Sarno have at being taken seriously as an artist? Without researching the topic I have a feeling Sarno didn't care about being an artist as evident by him diving head first into porn once standards loosened up.

Sarrno sounds almost like Andy Milligan. ...almost
