Radley Metzger's final film gives up most pretense of being artistic, and
that's unfortunate. Made for the Playboy Channel, this is low-budget softcore
without much to redeem it.
Inspired (blatantly) from The Prince and the Pauper, Carol Levy stars in two
roles as a virginal socialite and her lookalike pal, a high-priced call girl.
For whatever reason, they decide to switch places for a weekend -- the virgin
jets to Europe for a series of trysts, while the call girl stays home on the
eve of her pal's wedding to a nebbish loser. Throw in an amorous maid who's
constantly losing her clothes and I guess you've got a movie.
The Princess and the Call Girl's only real redemption comes in its unintended
comedy. Best exchange (and it's dead serious):
He: "I saw this movie this morning... it was horrible and dirty."
She: "I don't have HBO."
That's entertainment, people.
Available as part of the Radley Metzger Collection #3 box set with Carmen, Baby
and The Lickerish Quartet.
