Okay "inside Hollywood" story
lor_9 July 2023
This okay porn feature is in the genre of a porn movie about mainstream Hollywood rather than reflecting on the porn industry. As such it's interesting on the level of wishing: no matter how critical the script is of showbiz cliches, it's all coming from folks who likely would love to have the problems of big-name producers or star actresses, rather than being stuck doing porn, no matter how successful they've become.

Keisha plays the young star who's been typed in youthful roles, who's dying to sink her teeth into a meaty adult (not porn but using that term in mainstream fashion) role to advance her career and self-image. Her powerful producer Randy West wants to her nothing of that -he's got 2000 screens to fill next Christmas and needs Keisha to do the same type of picture that made her a star to deliver.

Tom Byron plays her manager/agent and at first I thought he'd be a cornball bad guy exploiting her, but he turns out to be somehting of her White Knight. While Randy frets over getting his Xmas movie made, Keisha gets a torrid script that Byron warns would get an X rating from the MPAA. They try to get Randy to okay it alongside his Christmas project but he gets and black balls them. Hapy ending has Tom & Keisha going the indie route, planning to move her career along and follow their instincts to shoot the script as an erotic video (in the Shannon Tweed/Tanya Roberts vein).

Main subplot deals with Victoria Paris as a fledgling starlet going the casting couch route with Randy.

It's well-performed with some dramatic moments, but doesn't ring true given the somewhat fanciful view of how the mainstream business really works.(notably the notion that studio exec Randy has all the theaters tied up under his control is bull). Keisha gets lots of softcore montages of her in her bikini or working out in a dance studio, and the sex scenes are okay. A sequel with a different cast was also released.
