Except for some bad overacting by lead Jonathan Morgan, this mystery film about the porn industry plays well, on the level of a Poverty Row B-movie from PRC or Monogram Studios.
Morgan is a police detective on the trail of a serial killer knocking off talent in Adult Cinema. While he is chewing up scenery, the film is kept alive by a femme undercover cop played by Christina Dior, who infiltrates the film crew as still photographer to get inside info on who might have killed Holly and others.
There are good sex scenes by Tami Monroe as a blonde bombshell and Brazil as Hollywood, but otherwise director John T. Bone neither gives an exciting story nor a trenchant look at the porn biz. Ron Jeremy gives a sympathetic performance as an agent who tries to help Dior.
Dior looks like a mainstream actress, with a lanky, natural figure and fine acting ability. She also teamed with Bone to star in a feature "Songbird" but never got off the ground in the biz. Bone plays a porn director and even has the temerity to get a blow job from Cumisha Amado.
One thing I didn't pick up on immediately, Holly Hollywood is not played by porn actress Holly Hollywood, who was named Stacey Mobley and shooting softcore (the series of Emmanuelle tv movies) when this was released, not taking the HH moniker until six years later.
Other inside stuff: screenplay is by Clinton Darke, character name given to Marc Wallice as a frustrated porno screenwriter in the movie; and film editor Rick Blaine has a major role as Morgan's police captain.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, Morgan's lousy performance was nominated for a best actor award that year by AVN, no kidding.
