Undergraduate, The, 217 min

Alpha Blue Archives is proud to present Ed Wood's entry into the pseudo-sex-education-film genre! The Undergraduate (1971, 67 min.) stars Suzanne Fields and Eve Orlon as bell-bottomed teenagers exploring their budding sexuality with abandon. Eccentric pulp writer and legendary cult director Ed Wood, Jr. was more famously known for his 1950s B-movie classics Plan 9 From Outer Space and Bride Of The Monster (as well his portrayal by Johnny Depp in Tim Burton's 1994 biopic Ed Wood ), but he ended his bizarre life and career as a writer/director of obscure 1970s X-rated films. Wood's exercise in educational excess hasn't been seen on home video since it was released on Betamax in the early '80s. One of those ultra-rare Beta tapes has been digitized here in all its ancient analog glory along with digital transfers of three lost Suzanne Fields 16mm films: Ward Sex (1971, 41 min., Carmen Olivera, Alice Friedland XXX!), The Young Model (56 min.), The Sex Spa (55 min.), plus the Ward Sex theatrical trailer! Total running time: 221 min.
