Alexa Park makes this one worth watching
RedCrank29 August 1999
Her first scenes with Scott Irish alone make this flick an 8. She could have been used to better advantage in the rest of the movie. Tracey Adams and Amber Lynn make up for it tho. And the never to be outdone Viper does it down and dirty at the end. Whew!

🎬🇫🇷 A Sultry Sojourn in the City of Love 🔥💥
MajesticMane17 June 2024
"Tracy Takes Paris" (1986), directed by John T. Bone, is a vintage adult film that offers viewers an enticing journey through the City of Love. The film, while not perfect, delivers a solid performance.

The plot revolves around Tracy (played by the captivating Tracey Adams), an American woman who travels to Paris to explore her sexual fantasies. The narrative, though simple, provides a compelling backdrop for the film's explicit scenes. The city of Paris is beautifully captured, adding an element of sophistication and allure to the film.

Tracey Adams' performance is undoubtedly the film's standout feature. Her portrayal of Tracy is both sultry and innocent, creating a character that is both relatable and intriguing. Adams' on-screen chemistry with her co-stars is palpable, making the film's explicit scenes all the more captivating.

One scene that particularly stands out is Tracy's encounter with a mysterious stranger in a Parisian cafe. The scene is beautifully shot, with the cafe's intimate atmosphere adding a sense of urgency and passion to the encounter. The scene is not only explicit but also emotionally charged, showcasing Adams' acting prowess.

However, "Tracy Takes Paris" is not without its flaws. The film's pacing is uneven, with some scenes feeling rushed while others drag on. Additionally, the film's dialogue is often cheesy and cliche, which can detract from the overall viewing experience.

Despite these shortcomings, "Tracy Takes Paris" is a solid adult film that offers viewers a tantalizing taste of Parisian passion. Tracey Adams' standout performance and the film's beautiful cinematography make it a worthwhile watch for fans of classic adult cinema. Just remember to approach it with an open mind and a willingness to overlook its minor flaws.

Phony as possible

This John T. Bone video is misleading on many counts: Tracey Adams doesn't have the lead role despite title & billing, and her character does not go to Paris; video is proudly shot in the U.S.A. (per end credits that comment on that fact with a "where else?" notation) and has zero attempt at providing a Parisian atmosphere; and even the misspelling of her name in the title is likely just another subliminal gimmick at the time to capitalize on Traci Lords' scandal, though at least they didn't spell it Traci.

Amber Lynn runs a travel agency and lectures her sales staff, which consists of Adams, Peter North and Eric Edwards, on improving performance or else. Eric suggests a promotion for international travel, and coincidentally it jibes with pal Angel Kelly's plan to take unsatisfied housewife Alexa Parks (her name misspelled Park in he credits) with her on a trip to revitalize her love life after being saddled with boring by-the-book sex acts husband Scott Irish.

Attempts at humor repeatedly fall flat here, and the sex scenes are strictly mechanical. Viper with her trademark tattooed body is artificially injected into the feature very poorly, starting with an opening credits sequence where she mimics the very famous Nastassja Kinski photo spread with snake, Viper accompanied by an impressive boa constrictor named Cleo. Viper shows up in "Paris" suddenly in the final sequence, for a d.p., minus her snake.

Adams's participation in the movie is unimpressive, having a lesbian scene with boss Amber, latter decked out in dominatrix fetish gear and later humping Edwards. She never fits in to the script's main thrust. Watching the video for the first time more than 30 years later I wondered if this was just another case of her being inserted to replace Traci Lords' illegal footage (as was done for instance in the feature "Deep Inside Traci', retitled "Deep Inside Tracey". I was wrong but it plays so poorly as to raise the issue.

The very lousy porno musical score is written by Jeff Mullen, oddly enough the same name used for musical scores a couple of decades later by parody maestro Will Ryder -an odd coincidence.
