“I for one, had a great time with this raunchy film, ever since i first saw it on video back in 1989 (and uncut, to boot!). It was among the first adult films i saw, and even though iu0026#39;ve seen many more since, it remains a favorite. Even though it hardly retains any shock value today, it still rises above many so-called erotic thrillers from Hollywood. Lisa Foster is absolutely gorgeous, and there are many scenes with sex and nudity to please all but the most hardened viewer. Plus, itu0026#39;s all done with humor and tongue firmly in cheek (among other places).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOf course, it isnu0026#39;t a perfect film. Some of the comedy seems a bit forced, and there are a few scenes where the direction seems to be too chaste rather than risqué, which is odd for this kind of film (as in Fannyu0026#39;s initial couplings with her prince charming). But the film makes up for it in other scenes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI donu0026#39;t know about the rest of the world, but this was hugely popular over here in the days of VHS. I have been waiting for a DVD release, and finally i see a DVD on Netflix. but since i donu0026#39;t have access to Netflix, i donu0026#39;t know if this is the full uncut version, or if it is pan-and-scan, etc. if someone can tell me for sure, iu0026#39;d be really grateful.”
