Hot Month of August (1966) – Doris Wishman/Sokrates Kapsaskis.

A naïve young drifter returns home from an unsuccessful trip to Athens, and unknowingly falls into a honey trap, which ultimately implicates him in stock murder-sex-shenanigans. Set in Greece, this sporadically saucy thriller, while often dull, is arguably more picturesque than most of its ilk. Lightweight soapy noir shtick and soft-core, indelicately inserted bonking scenes make for uneasy bedfellows in modestly saucy summer romp Hot Month of August. The dusky, fabulously feline female protagonists are quite luscious, Wishman's probing camera rigidly focuses our attentions on their increasingly not-so private parts with an exhilarating lack of restraint! The leaden dialogue is so trite that it almost makes it as camp, but to the film's credit, the bouncy/loungey score is proper righteous! Happily, the monotone dubbing greatly heightens the comedic content, lending the prosaic plot/text some hugely welcome unintentional levity.
