Pirate Video Deluxe 10: Hell, Whores and High Heels

Tanya Hyde's porn career seems to have withered on the vine, what with so many imitators out there in the field of kink, and the rush to the bottom in terms of quality. But this early effort, her fourth Private Media assignment, has her doing quite interesting things.

The five vignettes cover a range of familiar bondage/fetish topics, such as the Medical exam scene with randy nurse and doctor and a femdom military interrogation drama, all executed with style and novelty. Her later Harmony Films work is more lavish and visually arresting, but rather repetitive compared to this early burst of imagination.

Tony DeSergio is the most recognizable performer here, flanked by some forgotten early Brit Porn folk and the usual Continental talent (including star Monique Covet). Big-breasted femmes abound, but my favorite performer is blonde Layla Jade, superb as always in some uninhibited group-sex action in the segment "The Pervert, His Penis and the Puppets". It was interesting to see the motif of live puppets on strings starring Layla, undoubtedly an inspiration for Henri Pachard and Raven Touchstone's classic U.S. adult feature three years later "The Contortionist".

Tony gets to be severely pegged in the finale "Interrogation Time", as huge dildos are applied to his behind, while he hangs in suspension, wielded by the nasty femme interrogator and femme guards at Novgorod Maximum Security Prison.
