The Basement

The fetish star Summer Cummings can make torture a pleasant experience, as witness "The Basement", a collaboration with Elizabeth Starr (who makes like White Tooth on the old "Soupy Sales" show, her presence lingering throughout just off-screen womaning the camera and directing).

Their victim is the game and cute young Cherry Poppens, who they snatch off the street and put in bondage in a dingy basement. Summer has practiced innumerable techniques of lesbian BDSM involving whips, nipple clamps and a strap-on-dildo, and Cherry perseveres through it all, undoubtedly enjoying the exercise.

Clearly this fetish material is not for all tastes, but for the curious I recommend Summer and her huge breasts, endlessly interesting patter and general air of authority. The tedium and pretentiousness endemic to presentations of BDSM activity on screen are avoided by dint of her personality.

Basically, the purveyors of bondage and domination cinema could learn here that it is the showmanship (think of a stage magician plus lovely assistant) that puts over the show, an element missing from those deadly dull whips & chains demonstrations, or watching some expert show how to tie knots. Borrrrring!
