Advisefor Love

Advise for Love is an American clandestine short film from the stag film genre, likely produced in the early 1950s circa 1950 1952. Shot in black and white on 16mm film and about 10 minutes long, it features a more structured narrative than typical examples, with synchronized English dialogue and music. The story follows a married couple with relationship problems who consult a doctor. The suggested treatment leads to a partner swapping situation presented in a semi comedic tone, typical of medical stag comedies. The characters Mr and Mrs Loveless Dr Grandstaff and Nurse Pratt are fictional, reflecting the anonymous nature of such productions. It is a rare example of a sound stag film and an important document of early clandestine erotic cinema before its commercial development in the 1960s and 1970s.
