Rivelazioni d'amore

Top American porn label Adam & Eve partnered with Italy's Capital Film to make four feature films (shot in 35mm) in Spain with overlapping casts, and this one was absent from IMDb until I added it this week, nearly 25 years after release. It's worth watching for a number of reasons.

Other titles in the group of co-productions are "Carmen", "Trouble" and "Flamenco Ecstasy", sharing the same attractive seaside locations and a hotel home base. "New Revelations" concerns the on again-off again romance between Steve Drake and Ursula Moore, central to which is Ursula's on-going resentment for Drake having forced her to having an abortion - he does not want commitment or to be tied down.

Against the lovely backdrops, as the lovers keep reuniting at romantic locations that mean a lot to them, producer-director Salvo Di Liberto manages to include 10 complete XXX scenes, culminating in an 8-person orgy. Besides Moore, there is a bevy of impressive Continental femmes including busty Nena Cherry plus Maria De Sanchez, who starred in several of the other films shot on this trip.

Drake is adequately dubbed for the original English-track rather than sticking around to loop with his own voice. The abortion issue resurfaces, not surprisingly for an Italian co-production, at film's end when new girlfriend Katy Kash appeals to Drake how she's perfect for him, being barren and unable to have children, to which Drake looks wistfully out to sea from one of his memorable sites (where he romanced Moore) and says "I am like the seagulls", followed by his final line summing up the movie which unfortunately was unintelligible, spoiling a pretty good erotic movie.
