Review:
Not nearly the roughie porn that would become popular later in the 1970s, "Specimen: Female" is a lukewarm sort of thriller from prolific director Richard Mailer, better known as the odd "Mr. Mustard" or "Grey Poupon" credit listed on many a storefront movie, mostly resurrected decades later via Something Weird Video. (I've been watching many of his latter-day European features shot as an expatriate, which are on the same crude level as this very early title.)

The familiar bondage/fetish genre trappings commence with our antihero chloroforming brunette lovely Carmen Olivera, while asking her to sign his fake petition opposing the draft. He takes her home by van, at which point poor continuity has her make love in the woods to a stud shot as a lyrical sequence replete with one of porn's too-oft-used sappy musical tracks reeking of sitar.

Back to reality, he rapes her, but per porn tradition, Carmen seems to get into it after initial resistance.

A location staging on Hollywood's Walk of Fame has gap-toothed blonde icon Terri Johnson hitchhiking, with her captured as well, to be presented to the anti-hero's pal Charlie, a garage mechanic. This results in a sloppy, down-and-dirty threesome punctuated by lame attempts at speeded-up comedy of the Benny Hill persuasion.

Ending up with two captives tied together, the movie resembles the thousands of later softcore bondage/fetish videos, dealing with damsels in distress bound up. A lesbian scene results with Carmen dominant and the kinky element of Terri still tied up as sub. This segues to a foursome with the boys and a lousy violent shock ending.

The overuse of tight genital closeups and crude filmmaking techniques nullifies attempts at style.
