This is a French porno badly dubbed into English, and released on an unsuspecting grindhouse crowd. Bored and beautiful housewife Barbara (Brigitte Lahaie) and her husband take in a mysterious butler, who promptly turns their household upside down sexually. The film is also a bore, despite Lahaie being easy on the eyes. Yeah, nothing more bourgeois than a loving monogamous relationship! Lahaie, as opposed to many adult film performers (I refuse to use the term "star"), is still around and mystified by the fascination with her early films. Honestly, there is nothing sadder than the pornography industry, a topic that is both taboo but also pulling in billions of dollars every year. Performers' careers are short-lived, but the effect on their bodies and mental state are lifetime sentences. You rarely see performers who handled their choices well, with many of them turning to alcohol, drugs, and suffering early deaths. I pity the performers here, and their inability to lead normal lives- you can't commit this kind of intimacy to film and not experience some kind of shame and guilt no matter how actors, actresses, and crew have justified it over the past few decades; with many having to explain what they did to their own children- I cannot even imagine what that would do to any offspring- child or adult. Also known as "Couple Cherche Esclave Sexuel."
