I'm not sure why John Keith starred in so many of these type of films. In the one area he ought to shine, genitalia, he is a complete failure. If you look up flaccid in the dictionary you'll see his picture. Perhaps his father was a producer. For me, however, the only point of interest is the presence of my favorite; the tall, leggy blonde known as Jane Tsentas. She has two scenes here, the first being a tepid lesbian scene which at least allows the viewer to feast on her body if nothing else. Then Jane visits the doctor, John Keith. It seems that she's been a bad girl and needs to be spanked (very original). Few actresses wore a miniskirt as well as Jane did, especially with those legs of hers, and she coyly tantalizes before Keith spanks her butt. The spanking was horribly faked, it laughably bad, but Jane's reaction is over the top. Good acting or just a sign of low-budget, low-quality porn that exemplifies the era, where product and volume was more important than the process of making a good film - sort of like today. I give the movie a 3, but without Jane it's a zero.

Half-hearted, unfunny softcore porn
lor_25 August 2010
Unsure of its own premises, THE IMPOSTER is a lame attempt at a softcore porn comedy, misleadingly reissued by Something Weird on Vol. 47 of its XXX Dragon Art Theatre series. Gimmick is a guy posing as a shrink, who has sex with his patients.
They comment on how different he looks (duh!), but the same actor (John Keith) appears as the REAL shrink at film's end. Movie is strictly filler, so there is no attempt whatsoever at credibility.
Though the hack who writes liner notes for the back of the DVD-R touts this one, perhaps as a result of brain damage, it is rather difficult to endure such poorly shot simulated sex scenes, in which there is no danger of a penis ever finding its desired destination. Cast has trouble with their improvised dialog, and a dream sequence of one patient, Kathy Morgan, raped by a guy in a gorilla suit with a long appendage attached is neither funny or erotic. Kathy also tells the fake doc about her dreams of sex with her stepfather -we see it acted out, and doc advises her to do it for real.
In the lead role Keith does his usual comedy routine which was a lot more fun in THE PIGKEEPER'S DAUGHTER and even a hardcore outing BRIDE'S DELIGHT. He also co-starred in a classic Harry Novak short film (not listed in IMDb): THE PEEPER.
Garage band musical score includes a rendition of "Summertime Blues". Photography is extremely poor, with the anonymous director reverting to a fast in & out zoom lens effect at times, merely to annoy the audience. Shredded print has an idiotic, rushed anyway finale, in which it is revealed that our hero is, indeed, an imposter, but his receptionist's big buildup revelation is garbled and unintelligible, leaving the poor viewer with a WTF? frustration.
