| Robert Member  My past is a foreign country. Most things are different there, including word usage. 503 Posts 12/06 |  Posted - Jun 27 2008 : 10:39AMI recently viewed the Anthony Spinelli film [ invalid url ] Does anyone know if that film (script) has ever been filmed using current technology? Possibly a different title and revised script, but essentially the same story line. I also tried to find a review of this film. No luck. Can anyone point me to a review? Maybe Flash has some information or background he could share? [Link] |

| Robert Member My past is a foreign country. Most things are different there, including word usage. 503 Posts 12/06 | Posted - Jun 27 2008 : 5:11PM I was wondering if anyone thought the same as I did about the film, in particular, Andrea True's portrayal. From the review - "Andrea True, who is rarely given any credit as one of the earliest porno stars and even less credit as an accomplished actress and singer, gives the performance of her career!"

Robert, how is the quality of the ABA release? I have an old video copy which is decent. I've heard the TVX version looks awful and is full of dropouts. [Link] |

I would judge the other two titles, "Summer Session" & "Dance of Love" on that DVD to be of noticeably lesser quality. Edited by - Robert on 6/27/2008 9:13:52 PM [Link] |
| john lyons Senior Member Co-founder of Vinegar Syndrome 1188 Posts 1/08 | Posted - Jun 27 2008 : 10:33PM FYI, Jonas Middleton's rarely seen 1974 film Illusions of a Lady was supposed to be included on the disc instead of Dance of Love but was sadly dropped at the last minute, apparently due to rights issues. Too bad. It looks like we won't be having any chances to view that rarity. [Link] |

| Myload Senior Member A rose is what you are to me 2069 Posts 6/03 | Posted - Jun 28 2008 : 8:57PM Be sure to check out this video to see her other (and better-known) career. This is a true classic (no pun intended). [Link] |
| john lyons Senior Member Co-founder of Vinegar Syndrome 1188 Posts 1/08 | Posted - Jun 29 2008 : 10:46AM Myload, here are some good Andrea films to pick up: My personal favorites are Both Ways (which, I found out from director Jerry Douglas, is cut on every VHS release), Every Inch a Lady, M*A*S*H*D, Christy (it's an outstanding and super weird one-day-wonder), Seduction of Lyn Carter, and Little Orphan Sammy (which is really stupid but fun none the less).

Judge for yourself how easy it would have been for ABA to improve the quality of the DVD release.    [Link] |

| john lyons Senior Member Co-founder of Vinegar Syndrome 1188 Posts 1/08 | Posted - Jun 30 2008 : 3:16PM I hear that their recent release of Femmes DeSade is a similar travesty. If anyone's thinking of picking that up, DON'T! Go on xploitedcinema.com and buy the remastered PAL double feature of Femmes and Waterpower. [Link] |

| Connor Saw Member United Kingdom 6 Posts 4/05 | Posted - Sep 21 2008 : 5:45PM so why not? No pride in their work ? Hey, why not pick up the gauntlet and buy up those films and run them through yourself...could be a great business, I expect you have a few willing punters already! ...And if you want a partner...GIVE ME A CALL!!!

| mcewan All-Star Member 1294 Posts 8/08 | Posted - Sep 21 2008 : 8:20PM while now.Eventually I'll have to purchase the Andrea True Triple Feature. This being an early Anthony Spinelli film and supposedly Andrea True's best performance this is a film I really need to see. [Link] |
| morris New Member 5 Posts 10/08 | Posted - Oct 12 2008 : 3:10PM I'm just wondering if this version is completely uncut. The running time is exactly 1:15:25 . iafd lists the running time as 84 minutes whereas imdb states 76 minutes (but they're always wrong anyway). I've never seen a version longer than around 75 minutes but should it really be 84 minutes? It does seem a little choppy during the group scene but some of Spinelli's editing is quite experimental anyway so it could well be intended that way. This is certainly one of my favourite films by Spinelli, along with The Night Caller and Vista Valley PTA. Edited by - morris on 10/12/2008 3:19:27 PM [Link] |
