Entertaining porn forerunner to Andrew Stevens' thrillers
lor_16 August 2010
I enjoyed those '80s video potboilers Andrew Stevens made with Shannon Tweed, her sister Tracy, et al. So it was a pleasant surprise to discover a true forerunner of the hardcore persuasion. revived on Vol. 37 of Something Weird's Dragon Art Theatre series.

Front-loaded with plenty of story material, though sex takes over inevitably as this was an adult-theater entry, film begins with a wealthy old guy hiring private eye Dick Scott to install surveillance cameras in his mansion to get the goods on his wife Sheila.

Dick, well-played by handsome hero Frank Harris, duly beds not only Sheila but her nubile step-daughter, the housemaid Rosa, all en route to a twist ending.

The sex is well-shot and features attractive women, including fan fave Annette Michael as stacked masseuse Inga. In general this resembles a real film, except for the ultra-longueurs when sex takes over and everything else is forgotten. The jokey voice-over lacks the expected panache that could have moved this towards noir territory. A decent guitar/flute score unfortunately becomes repetitive.

Women were cast for their very alluring nipples -I heartily approve, and Donna Stanley as Sheila demonstrates remarkable deep-throat technique. Altogether a rough gem in a sea of 1-day wonder dross.
