Trivia:

It was during production of this film (or soon after), that it was discovered that this was the only hardcore sex film Traci Lords made after her 18th birthday. The resulting controversy in America (where 18 is the minimum age for appearing in adult films) resulted in all her earlier films being pulled from stores and members of the adult film industry threatened with criminal charges. Lords never made another porn film and, after laying low for a time, reemerged as a popular b-movie actress.

Quotes:

Traci: I couldn't believe what I was doing. I was drunk on cock!

nice edge

When it comes to sex, I like performing much better than watching. For this reason I skipped the porn-scenes in 'Traci, I love you' -- the accelerated-speed facility on my DVD-player came out handy here.

Having done so, about 10% of 'Traci I love you' is left to review. The movie opens with a fully clothed Traci Lords sightseeing in Paris, naturally including a shot of her against the Eiffel tower. We see close-ups from this 18 year old girl's face, testifying about her two years' career in porn: hard, money-greedy, and fully aware of the great potential in her breathtaking looks.

After that the scene moves over to the seaside resort of Cannes, located at the French Rivièra. A place blessed with a Californian climate. We see Traci topless on the beach, before delivering a full show of her professional skills in the office of a French porn producer.

Time to skip now, and we end up almost at the closing credits of this movie. We see Traci on the set, making fun with the people around her. These light moments show her to be a normal 18 year old girl after all.

The nice edge throughout this entire movie is the very American Traci Lords contrasting with her very French background. The French producer of 'Traci I love you' did a nice job here.
