Like Wow! (1961)

A hobo finds magic glasses that allow him to see women naked. He uses them to get free stuff in a small suburb.

RATING: ☆☆☆☆☆☆ 6/10

REVIEW: I found this to be great fun. Silly and cheesy as all get-out, but a good time. I kinda wish they'd make movies like this again. No, they wouldn't have the same charm. However, ideas like X-Ray Specs are timeless, and if you had fun with it (as these filmmakers clearly did), it could be a nice alternative to heavy porn. Just a thought.

DOUBLE FEATURE - Crazy Camera (1965)

SYNOPSIS

A boxcar hobo falls off a train into a sleepy little town. He doesn't have a penny to his name, so can only slobber over the items in the store windows. [Some neat looks at an old main street.] Rummaging through trash, he comes across a pair of sunglasses. Putting them on at the public park, he's surprised by what he sees... A girl eating alone is suddenly without clothes! Being a resourceful hobo, he shows the glasses to a chef at a diner. The chef takes a look at a customer... Needless to say, the hobo gets a free meal out of this deal. Next, the hobo takes the shades to the barber. He takes a look at the manicurist's table... The hobo gets a free shave and haircut out of the deal. Now he needs a new suit. He shows the manager his nifty new sunglasses. The manager sees a female customer... The hobo easily gets a new suit for free. Now, he just needs a shower and a bed. He checks in at the local motel. The manager puts on the shades and watches the cleaning lady. The hobo, now with a full belly, a shave and haircut, a new suit and a shower - now he needs a car. The car salesman puts on the sunglasses. The hobo gets a job as a Fuller brush salesman. But his first customer, sitting poolside, isn't interested. But once he puts on the shades, he sees a girl lounging by the pool... The hobo makes the sale - just before the man's wife gets a load of the shades and is horrified. The hobo makes another easy sale with a suburban gent who's understandably impressed with these sunglasses. He watches the neighbor girl. The hobo runs into an old friend from his boxcar days. He explains that it wasn't in Vegas that he got these dapper duds. He shows him his magic sunglasses. They watch a woman in a short dress do lawn work. She does some gardening. The hobo decides to do the right thing and give the sunglasses to his friend so he can leverage their power to get free shit. THE END
