I stopped buying new Penthouse Video releases in 2016, based on the extremely poor content I sat through dating from the label's relaunch in 2015. But this late 2017 release marks a return to quality that augurs well for the future.
Cameraman Alex Ladd does a fine job with a connected story-line feature, not the usual string of five vignettes identified with Penthouse and its various sub-labels like Variations, Letters, Forum and Underground. With her distinctive Louise Brooks-inspired bangs, Penthouse Pet Olive Glass (even wearing for plugola her Penthouse Key as a necklace here) stars as an artist who is finding herself, with the help of her too-good-to-be-true supportive husband Ryan Driller and her agent Jenna Sativa.
Show begins and ends in an offbeat manner with a brief softcore sex scene for Driller and Glass, not the XXX is all format we've become so accustomed to in 21st Century porn. Sativa is the seducer of the title (otherwise, the show is mislabeled with that moniker), giving Glass an introduction to lesbian sex early on.
But the main thrust here is not about seduction but rather opening up one's marriage to spicy diversions. Driller ends up hotwifing Glass with a stud played by Codey Steele, after she tells him about her Sapphic dalliance with Jenna.
A swingers' party has a brief (blink and you'll miss it) cameo NonSex by Brad Armstrong on a rare non-Wicked Pictures turn, in which he is paired with the movie's makeup lady and co-writer, plump Constance Le. But getting down XXX style are Casey Calvert as a "present" for Ryan from his wife, Riley Nixon as a shaved-head swinger at the party (she is sloppily left off the end credits by mistake) and the new, improved Adult Cinema answer to Abella Danger, similar-looking beauty Christiana Sinn (also slopped up with a Christianna misspelling in the end credits).
