I just finished watching this flick again, after not seeing it for years and years. Funny how, in my mind, I had remembered it as being so very hot. The scene where she does the two traveling salesmen who pick her up after Bobby catches her doing his dad - I remember seeing that in the local porno theatre in 1979 and it made me so hot, I couldn't stand it. Plus Candida Royale blowing her dad - in my memories, that was really steamy.

But sadly, upon viewing it again, it just didn't measure up to my recollections. And I've found that to be the case with so many of the classics - when I first saw them in 1978 or 1979, they seemed so good. Then when I seek them out years later, I'm disappointed by the poorly-lit, too-short sex scenes. I guess I've been ruined by the gonzo-ization of porn. Probably too, it all seemed so hot back then because it was new to me (I first ventured into the Plaza Art Adult back in 1978 and fell in love). You really can't go back.

Have any of you classics guys had a similar experience where the old stuff just didn't live up to the memories?

Oh, sure. Some movies wear better than others, and there's always the danger that a movie's been altered when put onto DVD, but I think mostly it's just basic nature to remember 'the good old times' as better than they actually were.

This has happened to me, but any of the classic pornos that I had already seen were viewed on old tapes that belonged to people's dads when I was 12 or 13, at the time when everything I looked at appeared sexier than it really was.
