If the Soviets actually ever made a porno movie, it would probably be this bad. While the director successfully pays attention to little details by making everything seem Russian, he forgets to make From Russian With Lust erotic.
Randy West plays an American in Moscow, while the blonde Cara Lott portrays Natasha, his escort. While I've never seen a blonde Russian before, Lott looks pretty good here, although she's certainly not used to the film's full advantage. The plot has West exploring the undergroundwith of Russia; the more sexual side.
While From Russia With Lust tries hard to be cute, as when West attempts a cultural exchange by giving a couple of Russian guys a couple of Hustler, the boring plot gets little help from poorly filmed sex scenes. The first scene between West and Lott, which intercuts wiht tacky shots of farm animals, is fairly interesting. but for the rest of the tape, different coital positions and strange situations do little to enhance the eroticism. Too much footage is wasted on sex where you can't see what's happening. And when it does get better, as in Randy West's dream sequence concerning two lesbians, there's no payoff.
