<BODY bgcolor="#CCCC99"> <font size="4"><br><i>Sin in the Suburbs</i> and <i>The Swap and How They Make It</i></font> <font size="2"> <br>DVD review by James Newman</font> <font size=3 face="Book Antiqua,Century Schoolbook,Times New Roman"> <p>Joe Sarno carved a name for himself in the '60s by grinding out numerous adults-only films that emphasized a growing malaise in suburban America. He turned his camera on bored housewives, key parties, partner swapping, and other signs that America's sexual mores had undergone a drastic shift in the post-Eisenhower era. In contrast to the films of Russ Meyer, you'll find no cartoonish excesses in Sarno's films. Rather in films such as <i>Sin the Suburbs</i> (1964) and <i>The Swap and How They Make It</i> (1966), both of which are now available on a double feature DVD from Something Weird Video, Sarno dealt in loneliness and boredom. </body>
