I didn't notice when it finally arrived on DVD in October. I don't know if I did or didn't ever see another movie by Edwin Durell, but I remember this one pretty vividly.

No, I actually only remember one scene vividly. By the time Melissa Melendez finished rolling her stockings down her legs, she had become my favorite porn star. The scene was a classic after-school teacher fantasy, and she was pretty much beautiful beyond what I could imagine back then in the '80s. The extended strip and tease sequence was unforgettable.

Unfortunately, I also remember that the actual sex in the scene was brief and poorly shot. Very anticlimactic, frankly. And the rest of the movie fades from memory.

Well, I just ordered it anyway in a typical late-night semi-drunken tossing away of hard-earned cash for no good reason. I guess I just wondered if anyone else remembers this one. And who was Edwin Durell, anyway? The movie is listed just as "Dream Girls" now, but I remember it being conspicuously titled "Edwin Durell's Dream Girls".

I've never seen Dream Girls (the box still bears the name Edwin Durrell's Dream Girls BTW) but I saw Irresistible from him which was an enjoyable flick

"Edwin Durell" was one of several names used by a hardcore filmmaking couple whose work goes all the way back to the early days of SF porn. Most people know them Sandra Winters and Edwin Brown--the makers of Every Woman Has a Fantasy 1 & 2 .

Dreamgirls was an attempt to shoot on video for them--and despite a lot of industry kudos at the time, it is a pretty routine film. I bought it on VHS when it was new, mostly to see Melissa and another personal favorite, Paula Harlow (who is in the group scene with Tom Byron, Taija Rae, and Alexis Greco). Melissa and her sister sure were pretty, but this is one of the few scenes I saw Melissa in where she seemed into the scene and the sex.

Thanks for the background. A little further investigation shows that "Edwin" has a pretty good resume, including "1001 Erotic Nights" and, as late as 1996, "Masque".

Melissa is one of those performers where I never found the one great scene I was looking for. "Dream Girls" was about as good as it got.

Durrell made some R-rated stuff released under the name Edwin Brown. Mostly routine, dreary slasher / horror stuff (and I say that as horror fan). I loved Every Woman Has A Fantasy 1 & 2, but of his adult output, my favorite is still 1001 Erotic Nights.

Media mail shipping -- not only is it good that it's free, sometimes it takes so long that you forget what you ordered and it's a nice surprise when it lands in your mailbox.

The picture quality of this disc is rather poor. It almost looks like one of those newspaper photos of a television picture. Not so good, but I knew it wasn't going to look like Island Fever 3.

The Melissa Melendez scene is just as I remembered, and it remains pretty timeless. The rest of the movie, however, is so, so '80s. The hair, the clothes, the colors ... wow. Candie Evens in her workout outfit looks like a modern parody of what the '80s were. Excellent.

I clicked over to that Taija Rae scene, and Tom Byron just said "Bitchin'".
