I can not think of anyone who would get sexually aroused by this short adult film from 1915 (or maybe from a few years later), but I guess that would not be the reason to see this in the first place anyway. Since it is believed 'A Free Ride' is the first adult movie in the United States it has historical value, whether you like it in this kind of entertainment branch or not.

The story is as simple as in all those old short movies (although some would argue that adult movies have not improved much since then), with a guy picking up two girls. After the they stop to urinate the first girl has sex with the guy, later the second girl joins them.

What makes this film even a little fun to watch are the quite funny lines that guide us through the story. Not all of them, but some are quite amusing. This film being created by names such as A. Wiseguy and Will B. Hard adds a little extra as well. Not that special, hardly porn, but kind of interesting as well.

A Free Ride (1915)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

A man is driving home when he offers two girls a ride. He eventually pulls the car over to take care of business and soon the three are having sex. A FREE RIDE is mainly known today for being one of the earliest examples of a porn movie, although historians debate on when it was actually made. It's credited as of being made in 1915 but some like Kevin Brownlow suggest it was closer to 1923. Either way, there's really nothing here too special, although there's some morbid curiosity that helps keep it more entertaining than it actually is. I think the most enjoyable thing about the picture is the man's rather silly mustache, which keeps going all over the place. As with many films from this era, it's doubtful that any current viewer will find anything to like here. In other words, if you're a fan of porn then this here probably won't be up your alley. The film's main appeal is going to be to those film buffs who enjoy watching this old films or those who simply want to see a bit of history. The camera-work isn't all that good throughout and there's no question that the sex scenes aren't all that erotic.

Wow, so this is the earliest porno known to still be in existence eh? That's wild stiff. Anyway this silent black and white number has a guy picking up two girls, they need to urinate so they stop by a secluded section of the woods and get out to do their business. When they're getting back in the car. The guy takes one of the girls aside and they go back to the spot to screw. The other girl later joins in. MUCH more interesting as a curiosity than anything that one would get aroused seeing, this is a trip and a half, I especially liked how they went to what they thought were great lengths not to be recognized (that amounts to a fake mustache for the guy and wigs for the ladies) I saw the film in 1970's "A History of the Blue Movie" which showed it in uncut form.

My Grade: B+
