EDITOR’S NOTE: Today’s movie is brought to you by AC Nicholas, who has graciously become a Big B&S’er, a monthly supporter of the site and got to pick an entire week of movies. Would you like to have me write about the movies of your choice? It’s simple!

  1. Go to our Ko-Fi site and donate. There’s no set amount and I won’t tell you what to do. In fact, if you just keep reading for free, we can still be friends.
  2. Join as a monthly member for just $1. That makes you a Little B&S’er.
  3. As a Medium B&S’er at just $3 a month, if you pick a movie or a director, I’ll write about them for you. In fact, I’ll do one for each month you subscribe and even dedicate the post to you.
  4. For $5 a month, you basically get some major power. As a Big B&S’er, I’ll write an entire week on any subject you’d like. How awesome would that be? In fact, I’ll do it for every month you’re a member. Do you think any of your other movie sites will do that for you?

Adult films probably never had as big of a budget or as rich of a look as this movie, which was shot in New York City, Rome and Paris.

Dr. Seymour Love (Jamie Gillis) is our Dr. Henry Higgins because this is Pygmalion or My Fair Lady. He is transforming common streetwalker Dolores “Misty” Beethoven (Constance Money), a woman whom Love believes he can make into an elite and elevated lady who will impress Geraldine Rich (Jacqueline Beudant), the Colonel Pickering of this movie.

The goal will be that by the time of a party thrown by magazine publisher Lawrence Layman (Ras Kean) and his wife Barbara (Gloria Leonard), Misty will be the most wanted woman in the world. That’s not Kean in the threeway scene that follows. Instead, the female on male penetration has the stunt body of Casey Donovan. He’s also the homosexual art dealer who Misty seduces.

This was shot by cinematographer Paul Glickman, who used the name Robert Rochester. He was also the cinematographer for The Stuff and God Told Me To, as well as the director of photography for Al Adamson’s Dracula vs. Frankenstein. He was also nominated for the Best Animated Short Film Oscar for Calypso Singer and El Salon Mexico.
