Excellent vehicle for the delectable Lisa De Leeuw
Woodyanders13 November 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Repressed secretary Harriet (well played with passion and conviction by luscious redhead Lisa De Leeuw) discovers that her boss (a nicely smarmy portrayal by Robert Kerman) is secretly seeing prostitute Lucy (a spot-on saucy performance by buxom blonde Lee Carroll), so Harriet decides to shed her inhibitions by befriending Lucy and taking pointers from her on how to cut loose.

Director/director Henri Pachard keeps the involving story moving along at a quick pace, makes neat use of various seedy New York City locations, maintains an appropriately dirty tone throughout, and further spices things up with amusing touches of ribald humor. The sex scenes are quite raw, raunchy, and arousing, with De Leeuw in particular throwing herself into the assorted sordid carnal activities with scorching gusto and abandon. Moreover, the complex and occasionally fraught relationship between Harriet and Lucy results in a few surprisingly poignant moments. The game cast of familiar adult film regulars rates as another substantial asset: Attractive Tiffany Clark, a surprisingly trim and fit Ron Jeremy, fetching Lisa Cintrice, the always funny Bobby Astyr, and the foxy and commanding Mistress Candice. Roberta Findlay's slick cinematography provides a pleasing polished look. Really hot stuff -- and even quite touching at times, too.

Nice New York City Adult Film

Mascara (1983)

*** (out of 4)

Harriet (Lisa De Leeuw) notices that her boss (Robert Kerman) is banging a hooker named Lucy (Lee Carroll) so she asks for a few pointers. Pretty soon the two women become friends and go on a sexual odyssey.

MASCARA was directed by Henri Pachard with an uncredited job by cult favorite Roberta Findlay who also produced the film as well as shot it. If you're a fan of the New York City era porno movies from this era then you're going to enjoy this one as it offers up a pretty good story, some great sex scenes as well as a very fun cast.

What I enjoyed most about this film was the actual performance by De Leeuw who really does seem to have a fire going on inside her. She was really good in the various sex acts throughout the film and I thought she was also quite believable with her performance when it came to the acting. She and Carroll had a nice chemistry together and they both really made you believe the story. Several familiar faces are on display here including Ron Jeremy at the star as well as cult favorite Kerman in a brief scene.

There's certainly nothing ground-breaking about this picture but at the same time it's very much an entertaining movie, a fast-paced one and one with several nicely shot and erotic scenes.
