Review:
I was motivated to see this film because of the participation of many of my favourite vintage pornstars such as Seka, Lysa Thatcher, John Holmes, and Jamie Gillis. My expectations were low given the lack of reviews for this film and, because it was made at the tail end of the golden age of adult cinema. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the film was well-made and quite enjoyable to watch.
The story is about man who's wife has gone missing and has not been heard from in a year. He hires a private detective to find her and is shocked to learn that she has become involved in the adult film industry.
The cinematography is excellent in this film. The insert shots give a good sense of time and place, and the inclusion of location shots like the Pussycat cinema and the Cave cinema gives a street-level realism to the film. The sex scenes are well shot and are displayed in the loop format(I believe shot for the film) and location shot(both interior and exterior). The performances are professional but not quite passionate. John Holmes, in a scene with Seka and Desiree Cousteau, is quite funny and makes an off-the-cuff remark asking if the ladies "do this kind of thing often".
What is impressive is the acting of the two principal characters in the film. Both Kevin James and Honey Wilder deliver believable and sensitive performances given the emotional dynamic of the story. Their sex scenes are played as you would expect average people in the context of the story to behave rather than as adult cinema stars. The scenes are edited to appear naturalistic rather than as contrived porn experiences. Bill Margold is effective in bringing humour to the film if you are not offended by his portrayal.
I also liked the theme song, which is heard throughout the film. My only regret is that the lyrics are sometimes hard to discern.
If you like the performers who participated in this film I recommend watching this as you've probably already seen them in much worse films.
