Talk Dirty to Me One More Time Part II

Anthony Spinelli takes a serious approach to what, in other hands, might just be a sex filler VHS release with four XXX vignettes. Missing from IMDb for nearly 40 years (I just added it today), this volume of his "Talk Dirty to Me" series has excellent acting by all concerned.

It's presented in a documentary style as a series of interviews (by an uncredited speaker, perhaps Spinelli himself) of folks who knew Jack, the hero of the series played by John Leslie. It's all for a movie titled "The Last Great American Gigolo". Krista Lane, Lisa Bright, Keisha and Shanna McCullough are featured talking and in flashback sex scenes, all of whom (except Keisha) give testimony to Jack's peculiar allure, which of course included him talking dirty to each of them.

McCullough is especially interesting in that she is proud of having stood up to Jack, goading him by calling him "too old". She got his goat, and their flashback conversation has him offended when she calls him a gigolo, and he refuses to have sex with her.

Jack is also presented as a voyeur: he watches two sex scenes of Keisha, first with Jon Martin in which Jack shouts directions as they make love and then Keisha having sex with Shanna as he hides, doing an "I like to watch" routine reminiscent of yet another popular porn series.

Movie ends on a bittersweet note: as Jack watches Keisha and Shanna in action, Spinelli presents a montage from earlier videos of Leslie having sex with many familiar porn ladies, his own reminiscences, before he walks away. Even in a sex vignette format, this clearly demonstrates how meaningful characterizations can elevate porn.
