Every Afternoon

Fan made poster.
2016 will mark the return of Christina Lindberg to the big screen. Her last on screen appearance was circa 1982, that means 34 years! in 1982 Lindberg was 32 years old and now she'll be kicking ass with 65 years old! Christina's beauty is undeniable, she probably was and still is among the most beautiful women of the planet in the entire history of film making. The problem is, her beauty somehow diminished the belief that she could actually act (hence she quit the industry and became a respected journalist) In addition, her filmography can clearly be defined as the hit and miss kind. But, she was fully aware of that. In fact, she considers Thriller, a Cruel Picture as the best film she ever starred and also, as the film that allowed her to grow an international fan base.

Today's entry is a 1972 U.K. production that goes by the name of Every Afternoon (AKA Swedish Wildcats) In this film, Lindberg's role is very minor, but you can tell she's there and all eyes are on her once she shows up. This film has been heavily criticized and called a "boring chick flick". Nevertheless, ur intention on this blog is to document Christina Lindberg's filmography as completely as we can, regardless of the quality and/or level of entertainment the film offers.  

Here, have this girl.
Fifty shades of grey?
Every Afternoon is a chick flick in all its sense, a movie dealing mainly with love and romance which is targeted to a female audience. 
 
This film also features read hair Solveig Andersson, another Swedish beauty that worked in other films with Christina Lindgerg (Thriller & Wide Open) and blonde bombshell Cia Lowgren (famous for her role in In the Sign of Gemini) who shares the leading role with the late Diana Dors. The rest of the female cast is attractive as well. The problem is they don't look very convincing but then again, this is a sexploitation film, conventional rules do not apply.

Do I look fat?
Swedish beauty.
Watching Every Afternoon makes you feel like there is no real erotic edge and the plot with a whore pretending to be a professional ballerina finding chaste love with some random test pilot is brutally unconvincing and unappealing. However, nobody would watch a sexploitation flick for film school reasons. The fun is supposed to be delivered by the nude actresses and their sexual exploits instead. Still, having all these beautiful actresses doesn't seem to be enough to make Every Afternoon an essential sexploitation flick.

The plot is about
Madam Margareta (Diana Dors) who is a talking side of beef that serves as the hostess and ring leader for a live sex tease show and whorehouse. Madam's shows always feature her bodacious nieces Susanna (Cia Lowgren) and Karin (Solveig Andersson), who perform in everything from striptease to S&M acts. Karen  meets and eventually runs away with a rich guy. Susanna falls in love with a deceptive airport cargo handler.

Please cum in my mouth.
Masked sex.

Now the time for being honest comes: I only picked this movie because Christina Lindberg is in it, and I've got a serious hard-on for her (who doesn't?). Unfortunately...she's not in it for long, and you only get to  see her tits once, so what you're left with is a boring and un-erotic sleaze film.

Every Afternoon is about a bunch of sluts that work in a brothel. They do some un-sexy dances for their male patrons, and afterwards they do what hookers are best known for. Somewhere in this boring mess is a "love story" between one of the ho's and some guy she met at the park. Throw in a scumbag that the guy from the park works with who has seen the chick at the brothel and wants to ruin their relationship - and there ya have it...

Lindberg's brief appearance as Helga.
Knock, knock!
Like many reviewers have stated Every Afternoon is pretty much an over-glorified chick-flick with a few tits and asses thrown in for good measure. There are definitely some smokin' chicks in this one, but the sex scenes are dull and un-sexy. The under-use of the ravishing Christina Lindberg is absolutely criminal - and everyone involved in this production should be shot for this unforgivable oversight. Don't bother unless you like dull romance films with a little bit (but not nearly enough) sleaze thrown in...
