PHILADELPHIA—Following on the heels of three hugely successful limited runs of Command Cinema classics in 2010, HotMovies.com has teamed up once again with legendary producer/director Cecil Howard for a special release of Platinum Paradise, one of his finest and most sought-after cinematic achievements.
Once again, Howard has agreed to screen the film to the popular website’s viewers for one-month only, with no DVD release or further distribution planned. Starting May 1, it can be seen exclusively on HotMovies.com.
“This beauty was made back in the day when a big porn movie consisted of something more imaginative than a pastiche of average sex and hackneyed one-liners set in the context of a well-known television program,” said HotMovies director of business development James Cybert. “It features amazing sex and believable dialog and the set up is both original and genre-defining.”
Starring a gorgeous cast of golden era talent headlined by Kandi Barbour, Samantha Fox, Vanessa Del Rio, Merle Michaels and Christie Ford, Platinum Paradise tells the story, in now-familiar vignette format, of a racy day at Platinum, a sex call-out service for the insanely lucky.
In one sexy scene—a mix-up where two “professionals” inadvertently hook up unbeknownst to one another—Del Rio coaxes stud Eric Edwards into orgasm through talk alone. The unedited scene stands as a testament to Edwards’ focus and prowess and showcases Del Rio as more than just the ultimate Latina sex bomb; this girl can act.
Upon its release in 1981, Platinum Paradise gained instant recognition from reviewers and fans alike, earning the highest possible ratings from Adam Film World (Hot) and Hustler (4 stars). Reviewer Jim Holiday said it could “well go down as (Howard’s) signature film.”
“This is a great movie,” said Howard. “It’s a real film with quality performances from all the stars, both in the sack and out. HotMovies viewers have shown a lot of appreciation for everything we’ve showed them. I can’t wait to see the response to Platinum Paradise. Comparing my two similar award-winning movies, I would say Platinum Paradise is better than Babylon Pink.”
Previous HotMovies-only releases from Command Cinema over the past twelve months were Scoundrels, Star Angel and Foxtrot. HotMovies remains the one and only Internet option to see Howard’s work, including his two multiple award-winning masterpieces, Neon Nights and Babylon Pink.
