All right, so I'm a sucker for a Nina Hartley feature. I admit it. It's not like it's a perversion or anything. After all, she's the one who's in most of the action in this sexvid; just a poor American girl trying to work her way through art school — "back work," that is, at a French bordello. And she certainly seems to enjoy it. Too bad her temperature-raising coupling with John Leslie isn't as hot as her first liaison with a young blond businessman.

The other plot revolves around Leslie and wife Colleen Brennan. He patronizes Madam Fifi's, and while hubby's away, Colleen works here. Needless to say, the viewer is kept a little on edge, wondering when they're going to discover each other . . . but that doesn't stop us from being mightily turned on by John's pal Joey Silvera and his lady (Carina). Meanwhile, Leslie, unable to get Hartley for the evening, settles for some French fluff (Melissa Rio), but winds up self-stimulating while watching Silvera and Carina. Too bad . . . until they invite him to join in.

By the way, there's no sense trying to hear the dialog while you're watching this one. When actors speak, it sounds like they're standing in another room with the door closed. And if you raise the TV sound loud enough to hear what they're saying, the volume of the music during the sex scenes will blow out your speakers. Don't worry, though; what's said isn't worth hearing anyway.
