FIRST PRIVATE-PENTHOUSE FILM FINISHED

Penthouse release \nLOS ANGELES - Call Girl, the first film to be made under a deal between Private Media Group and General Media Communications, which published Penthouse, has been completed and will be released in March, Private says.

Director Antonio Adamo had also "materializ(ed) the agreement" for the Private-Penthouse line, Private says, and he's brought forth a film including eight sex scenes Private says "won't disappoint anybody."

Shot in Paris, the film stars Silvia Saint as a call girl who captures the heart of a journalist (Bruno SX) preparing an extensive feature on call girls, with Lisa Crawford portraying the journalist's wife who falls into the torrid whirl between Patricia (Saint) and Anthony (Bruno).

Rounding out the cast are Kate More (Amanda's Diary 1, 2), Peggy Sue (Tatiana), Frank Gun, and six European newcomers - including Brigitte, a Hungarian who was slated for the softcore version of the film until Gun apparently convinced her to star in a hardcore scene. Private says, in fact, that she and Gun hit off in more ways than on-camera - they're now a couple living together in Budapest.

Other featured performers include Vivien Martines, Monika Sweetheart, Sweet Caroline, Lisa Crawford, Angela Tiger, Sindy, Richard Langin, David Perry, Philippe Dean, Frank Major, Ian Scott, Philippe, and Eric Leroi.

The hardcore version of the film also features eight anal-sex scenes, two gangbangs, and other hardcore images, as well as Adamo's trademark melding of music, light, and visual effects by way of multiple camera shooting. Adamo's Sex Shot had been named Best International Film at Berlin's Venus 99 Festival. Call Girl is his third Private film.

The Private-Penthouse collaboration attracted considerable media interest in Paris, with Private organizing a press day on-set and off, finishing at the famed L'Etoile restaurant.
