Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

PimpinAinttEasy What can i say? There needs to be more artists like Russ Meyer, willing to make the films they want to without worrying what people would say.In Common Law Cabin, an alcoholic boatsman (who drinks large glasses of whiskey and says aloud "aaah. the nectar of the gods"), brings a boring square doctor, his buxomly wife and an ex-detective on the run to an isolated ranch by the river. The ranch is inhabited by its hard drinking owner who is attracted to his buxomly daughter and is bored with his buxomly wife. The ex-detective begins to seduce the women. the square doctor and the hard drinking ranch owner just sit around and watch while the women fight with each other. There is an outrageously funny scene where the ex-detective punches the ranch owners horny wife in the face. It was fantastic.I loved the idyllic setting. But the happenings are anything but idyllic. I wish there were more films like this.(7.5/10)

aimless-46 If Russ Meyer had made "Common Law Cabin" early in his career it might be excused as a learning experience. But by 1967 he had advanced far beyond anything that he puts into this weak movie. Rather than work hard on something interesting, Meyer took a year off creatively and let his writer/collaborator Jack Moran get some screen-time.The one amazing thing about about "Common Law Cabin" is that its running time is only 69 minutes. If you get a chance to see the movie I can promise you it will be the longest 69 minutes you have ever spent.Basically it has the standard Meyer elements: Three buxom actress-one of whom (Adele Rein) is spokes-model gorgeous. Lots of Raymond Chandler stylized dialogue and wry humor. A blend of 1960's California culture and the dark and pessimistic undercurrents found in Film Noir features.Moran stars with Ken Swofford. Swofford is best known for his later quest appearances on the "Rockford Files" including his priceless Carl Wronko portrayal in the classic "The Queen of Peru". He is younger here but the acting style was already there.The story itself is original, if only because no one else ever bothered turning a screenplay this weak into a feature, but it is not at all engaging or interesting.The scene where the two youngest cast members pair off and head for the lake to play to a self-parodying sixties pop score is very nicely done, so good that it seems utterly out of place in this production.Watch if your goal is to see everything that Meyer worked on, but making "Common Law Cabin" wasn't much of a learning experience for Meyer and watching won't be much of a learning experience for film buffs.

Infofreak I very rarely hear anybody mention 'Common Law Cabin', which is a shame. While it obviously doesn't reach the heights of 'Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!' or 'Vixen!' it actually comes pretty damn close at times. Newcomers to Meyer will find it a bit of a shock, as it features his trademark flavour of almost innocent sleaziness, lots of buxom babes, hilariously stylized dialogue, and despite the kitschness, a darker, more disturbing undercurrent. One character (Hoople, played by Jack Moran who also wrote this and other Meyer movies) has forbidden incestuous desires, another (Rickert, played by Ken Swofford) is a misogynistic thug. The three chesty babes are all great to look at. Babette Bardot (great name!) plays a Kitten Natividad-ish free spirit, and Alaina Capri (the best looking of the three), a bitchy Eric Gavin type. The third actress, Adele Rein plays Hoople's sweet and uncorrupted teenage daughter. All three women allegedly have 42 inch chests and go-go dance for no apparent reason. The cast also includes Meyer regular Frank Bolger in one of his typical roles. Meyer fans will eat this baby up, others might find it a good starting point to his strange, twisted world which is quite unlike any other in movie history! 'Common Law Cabin' is quite possible Meyer's most underrated film, and should not be overlooked.

gonzo88888 If you're bothering to read this review, you're either a Russ Meyer fan or curious about his films. Common Law Cabin, although a bit of an obscurity when compared to Faster Pussycat Kill Kill or Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, is pretty typical, so if you're a fan, you won't be disappointed, & if you want to find out what Russ Meyer is all about, this has it all. Oversexed chicks with big knockers, greedy white trash criminals, a simplistic B-grade story with dialogue to match, & narration that sounds like it was written for an historical epic, not a sleazy exploitation flick. Plus the obligatory misogyny, violence & disturbing hints at incestuous desires. Bad taste triumphing over, well, everything. All in all, jolly good fun.
