Paul Thomas, using pseudonym "Bo Edwards" directed this adventurous misfire - a shot-on-film Vivid vehicle for contract superstar Briana Banks that seems to have been a big deal, but turned out to be a big dud when released. It was missing from IMDb for over two decades till I added it today.

There's a striking opening scene geared to showcase BB's wild screen persona (only Bridgette Kerkove among her contemporaries appearing more uninhibited in her roles), as she masturbates on a stairway while husband Eric Price talks dirty to her, egging her on with verbal imagery of her enjoying a gang-bang.

But soon the movie loses its way, perhaps through post-production tinkering or just a faulty concept. There is very poor continuity as we're presented almost non-stop sex enacted by a large cast of performers, beginning with simultaneous sex scenes outdoors by the pool.

Semblance of a story has Briana hopping into her car for a night drive, resulting in a car crash and her wandering injured, turning into a voyeuse watching from outside their picture window a couple (Nick Manning and future superstar Savanna Samson) making love narcissistically in front of bedroom mirrors.

From then on, the narrative falls apart, with each succeeding scene written off as merely a figment of Briana's oversexed imagination. I suppose that excuses many obvious continuity errors, but the net result is reducing the show to all-sex gonzo content.

Underscoring this fast slide into nonsense is the emphasis throughout on Briana's affection for a large strap-on dildo, which looks silly in scene after scene as she wears it almost as a badge of pride.

In the supporting cast, Lezley Zen is reliably sexy as a cop, though her role is largely fantasy, and an obscure actress named Shauna Faith Banks impresses as Zen's attorney friend, by virtue of her magnificent rack, yet quite un-porno appearance (at least when clothed).
