What a great film. This is why pornophiles the world around rave and
sigh about the Golden Age of Porn. Inventive, imaginative, genuinely
funny and seriously sexy, it weaves deliciously clever sex scenes into
an interesting, clever story. The sex is both raunchy and sweet, and it
isn't bogged down in the thousands of modern-day porn-industry
conventions. There are scenes of impetuous passion, and scenes of cool,
sophisticated pleasures, and scenes of long, lingering,
taking-their-time sensuality. The bit about the sex restaurant is
especially creative, both hilarious and hot as hell. And it stars
Annette Haven — what could be bad? Many, many thumbs up. (1977, 75 min.)
Cast: Annette Haven, C.J. Laing, Constance Money, Suzanne McBaine, Jamie Gillis

Behind the Green Door
Artie & Jim Mitchell
Mitchell Brothers
Marilyn Chambers, of course. A woman is abducted to star in a bizarre
sexual performance. The famous trapeze scene is one of the best sex
scenes ever filmed. Shortly before the release of this movie, Chambers'
innocent, fresh face was featured in an ad for Ivory Soap... and the rest
was history. (1972, 71 min.)
Cast: Marilyn Chambers

Dita von Teese: High on Heels
Peter W. Czernich
Marquis Media
High on Heels is a treat for lovers of feet and footwear,
featuring submissive boy Sascha in his dream job as a shoe salesman at
an exclusive shop featuring extremely high heels and an exquisitely
bitchy clientele — specifically, striptease queen Dita von Teese and her
busty companion Stacia, who arrive in glossy black overcoats and begin
sorting through the merchandise. Serving them in the shop sends Sascha
into a fantasy of foot fetishism, where the ladies press his flesh with
their heels, crawl around in scanty corsetry, lick one another's heels,
and eventually feminize him with make-up, a wig, and a latex maid's
outfit. Things heat up a bit when the ladies strip and cuddle in the
back seat of a car, with much rubbing of footwear, of course. There are
several slow passages with shoes being tried on and close-ups of feet
and shoes, which will delight foot fetishists, but might be a bit boring
for others. There's no actual sex, just some masturbation, but as far as
highly-specialized fetish flicks go, though, this one is incredibly well
made, and is a must for podophile fans of glamour, ridiculously high
heels, stockings, corsetry, feminization, and light BDSM. (2008, 90
min.)
Cast: Dita von Teese, Stacia, Sascha

Jimi Hendrix: The Sex Tape
Vivid
Jimi Hendrix: The Sex Tape is essentially a short
documentary about famed rock star Hendrix and 1960s free love, built
around about nine minutes of grainy film footage featuring a black man
having sex with two white women. The footage was found when a collector
bought a trunk at an auction and found an 8mm film canister labeled
"Black Man." He thought the guy in the film looked like Hendrix, did
some research, decided that was plausible, and hooked up with Vivid
Video for distribution (and, one assumes, subsequent riches). Is the man
in the 1969 film actually Hendrix? There's a lot of commentary from a
pair of authenticators, both of whom think the answer is yes. One is
supergroupie Pamela Des Barres, who famously hooked up with everyone
from Jim Morrison of the Doors to Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, and the
other is Cynthia "Plastercaster," who made a plaster cast of Hendrix's
cock in 1968, and is thus in a good position to identify the famous
member. Hendrix's lovers say he was a big fan of filming sex, so it
certainly seems possible. It's not a terribly dynamic video — Hendrix
lies back unmoving while the women suck him, rousing himself only
briefly to give them head before they climb on top and fuck him — and
the majority of the feature is dedicated to Des Barres and Plastercaster
insisting it's really, truly Jimi, they're totally sure of it, they
swear. (He looks like Hendrix, but the quality of the film isn't great,
so who knows?) It's a pretty good old-school amateur sex film on its own
merits, and it's arguably of historical interest, so if you want to see
a god of rock using his cock, pick it up. The most interesting special
feature is simple footage of the sex tape, with audio commentary by Des
Barres and Plastercaster, recorded the first time they watched it —
though Vivid also fluffs out the slim contents of the disc with some
interracial bonus scenes and the usual trailers. (The "bonus disc"
touted on the box cover is just a bunch of preview trailers.) (2008, 40
min.)
Cast: Jimi Hendrix, Pamela Des Barres, Cynthia "Plastercaster"

Opening of Misty Beethoven
Henry Paris
VCA
It's a My Fair Lady plot with Jamie Gillis playing a sex
researcher. In Paris he happens across a French whore (Money) and bets
another socialite that he can turn her into the most sexually
provocative woman around. He takes her to the States and proceeds to
give her sex lessons. Very much a piece of the 1970s, it is definitely a
great movie. It took home the Adult Film Association of America's Best
Film award, back when the AFAA still existed. (1976, 86 min.)
Cast: Constance Money, Gloria Leonard, Terri Hall, Jamie Gillis
