So much biographical info in this film is similar to Eric Edwards and Arcadia Lake's nearly two years of living together or marriage (we still don't know which one yet, either) that someone might think it was only a public relations rumor and a running plot for their series of movies, instead. The movie opens in a passionate quiet honeymoon scene where they undress and explain they can't afford a trip out to a hotel and have to spend the night in their own apartment. It is dark, haunting, and shadowy, almost as if the late Miss Lake is preparing for her own funeral. In the morning, she asks him to promise they will stay together "until death do us part." A short time later they want a divorce. By himself, he is too stoned on pot to do any cooking or brew coffee. Wife Robin goes to stay with her two swinging lesbian friends played by Samantha Fox and Robin Byrd. Eric meets old chum Paul Thomas for a fun stay at his pad where Eric meets Chrystal Day who can pop a champaign cork with her vulva, and Thomas blackmails a cheating housewife to spend the night with him and Fox. In another scene that parallels Aracadia's tragic addictions, she is snorting coke with her girlfriends (Robin Byrd, Fox, Day) before a party of group sex begins. Their guests might surprise you.

Very enjoyable hardcore outing

Warning: Spoilers
Newlyweds Robin (a sympathetic portrayal from ravishing brunette Arcadia Lake) and Adam (a fine and affable performance by Eric Edwards) find themselves stuck in a stale and unhappy marriage after only six months of living together. The couple decide to separate and seek sexual satisfaction from others in an attempt to rectify the situation.
Writer/director Victor Bertini keeps the engrossing story moving along at a constant pace, does a sound job of creating a genuinely erotic atmosphere, and tops everything off with an amusing sense of cheerful bawdy humor (considering the potentially serious premise, this film turns out to be a lot more lighthearted than one might initially expect it to be). Lake and Edwards display a convincing natural chemistry as the attractive and appealing leads (the pair were a hot item in real life at the time this movie was made), Paul Thomas lends deliciously smarmy support as sleazy blackmailer Larry Hickman, Samantha Fox likewise does well as flaky free spirit Lorraine, and buxom blonde Robin Byrd makes a favorable impression as Robin's lusty gal pal Glenna. Popping up in smaller parts are Marcia Minor as the adulteress Mrs. G. and Crystal Day as the luscious Honey. The sex scenes are quite explicit, arousing, and energetic: Scorching highlights include a sizzling girl/girl session between Robin and Glenna and a lively climactic orgy that's copped off by a funny surprise ending. The right-on funky jazz score by Goldenrod hits the groovy-grinding spot. A nice slice of vintage Golden Age porn.
