The following review, and the above time and ratings, are for the VHS version of this movie and may vary in this DVD version.
Similar to its other European scout-themed titles such as Scouts on Patrol, The French Connection's Jamboyree Part 1 is an outstanding production focusing on uniforms and breathtaking young studs. The sex mostly takes place in verdant outdoor settings as the boys strip down to their knee-high red uniform socks and fuck away. If men in socks turn you on, you're probably going to like this.
Scene one is an exception to the great outdoors setting, opting instead for a five-man shower romp. Three guys enter a bathroom where they spot two guys fucking in a shower. Two of them pair off and stoke their own fire while the third jerks off in a stall as he peeks out at the action. It's never boring as the camera jumps from stroking to cock sucking to rimming to ball licking to fucking. In the neighboring stalls, one of each pair sits on the floor while his partner straddles him. The shower couple flip-flops - the horny longhaired dude straddles his friend, then tops with gusto. Finally, they all stand together jerking to climax, sending strands of cum flying everywhere.
Scene two moves outdoors where a buff, hairy-chested scout polishes his buddy's rod before going bottoms up. He then takes a seat and the former top bounces on his pole before they switch to doggy-style. Sunlit hairy thighs only complement the beauty of the penetration shots here. Some of the best "sockage" comes with scene three's blond-brunet pairing, in which the dark-haired stud's big balls slap against the blond's buns as he leans against a downed tree. The blond takes the prize for best cum shot as he shoots several jets into the air. A kitchen romp follows in which the guys sixty-nine on a countertop before a hard fuck. Mikal rounds out the action with a sensual solo as he brings himself to a shrieking orgasm.
One of the great joys of this tape is the eager performances - each guy looks like he's having a truly great time, and there's nary a limp dick. It's all beautifully shot and accented with live audio. Director Nelson De Oliveir's restraint with sound - there's no music during the sex - is refreshing. The bodies are, without exception, stroke-worthy, and the action is consistently varied and exciting. The French Connection earns its merit badge with this one.
Note: The cover touts "international sensation Sancho," but his name does not appear in the credits.
