Release Date: May 6,1983. Running Time: 96 Minutes. Movie Review. A classic couples film but in the hardcore style. But the emphasis is on the dramatic romantic plot. A lot of porn legends are in this one. Back in the days of 35MM film not video. A toure de force of memorable acting and character development. Of when the X- Rated Film Industry tried to compete on the level of mainstream film making and storytelling. Not the mindless gonzo that permeates today's grind them by the numbers porn. I personally prefer motivation as to why they wind up banging each other. I like something of a plot. Not just here we are let's go for it. Back in the era of the golden age of porn. '"And that's the way I see it". Quoting Gerard Damiano another legendary porn director.
