Review of Skin-Flicks

This was the east coast side of the Adult business that this film was shot all over Manhattan back in 1977,released in 1978 way before New York became slightly more conservative against the sexual freedom up there,with the aid of sex negative Ruth Ginsberg ,when she was a member of new York city council and helped promote that irrational Republicrat zoning law against sex store and businesses and sex clubs in Manhattan.Gerard Damiano, who produced this movie,is a fine adult filmmaker.This is one of his excellent production. Unlike porn feature today ,shot on 30 frames a second digital,usually no film look neither,this production was shot in 3 weeks on 35mm film. It's about the adult film business of the time ,in New York city.The actor ,who played the adult filmmaker who get filmmakers block against completing the production,Harry, is played by Tony Hudson,never did any other films after this ,family or adult,but, his acting and sexual performance is good in this picture.Gerard as always shows up in his films and plays the financial backer of the film Tony is directing and is becoming impatient when Tony stalls the production cause of his block.As Tony complains that Gerard is profit and loss.Then Gerard slings back stating that he is profit and questions tony about he ,the director is attempting to make an epic and demand,Gerard, that all he wants is sex.Gina Harlow plays a erotic dances ,which shows the kind of erotic dancing that existed back then.Full nudity,focusing on erotic moves,which is no longer don't these days much less full nudity .She even puts Gerard's match out with her genital .One of the characters,who is new to the business,is played by a fresh looking Colleen Anderson.She plays one who gets into the acting side of the business for revenge against her boyfriend dumping her. A very Young Sharon Mitchell,before she quit the business and started her clinic for adult actors for HIV test, plays a confused actress who has done loops and this is the first time she doing features.She is nervous.She also confuses sex with love.She wants love ,but ,sees it as exclusive sexual activity with some one.She even becomes involved with Tony,who cannot be involved with any one cause he is devoted to film making,but, she confuses it with sex still. A young Hershel Savage show up as helping adult actress Anderson in her first sex scene in front the camera,or is that that Hershel ? his genitals were small.He is in the film .Beth Ann ,east cast adult actress,plays one who also auditions to getting into the picture by sexual performance on a rope with another male performer,whom I thought was Tony in the beginning ,but, realize it was another actor.Then Jamie Gillis ,whom I wasn't aware that he died recently,2010,plays a sleaze bucket advertiser,who is a fan of Sharon in loops and doesn't understand why she got into the adult business.He offer her money for none sex adverting job .She turns him down on that and sexually too.Jamie Gets revenge at her by kidnapping her and raping her causing her not to show up on the set to finish the movie.Joey Silvera,originally Massivera, shows up at the party and performs with Anderson as well.The ending is strange and does not make any sense.The original ratio was one by sixty six by one ,but it was stretch out to One by eighty five by one for some reason.This edition includes a DVD version as much as Blu- ray.It's also contains a audio interview of Sharon Mitchell,who tells her story and experience in adult business.She should write a book about her life cause what she stated was so interesting.For one thing she stated that she and Gloria Leonard and Hershel Savage would do some mainstream acting on stage, t.v. and summer stock,when they weren't doing any adult movies.Many adult actor are trained actors who do adult movies.They don't make adult movies like this anymore. 08/21/19
