Lousy porn noir from Big Joe
lor_30 June 2015
Ras Kean, a familiar but lower-rung NYC porn thesp stars as a guy who's wife has gone missing. He works as an editor on porno films (introduced wearing his white gloves at the Moviola), working on some mixed-combo group sex footage, featuring Annie Sprinkle sucking loops star Red Baron's huge cock.

Jake Teague, looking young by wearing a wig, narrates a flashback of the last time he saw Ras's wife -played by Terri Hall. He reveals to Ras that his wife had been in jail. A mysterious Black guy is seen hanging around and later robs Jake in a flashback.

Ras drives past Downey's Steak House and accosts passers by, in search of info about his wife. This is poorly done guerrilla filmmaking out on the streets of NYC, with extras looking bewildered at the camera.

Back at the moviola we're treated to lots of sex filler, as we watch Annie in a mixed-combo lesbian scene with plenty of nipple fetishism. A phone call hooks Ras up with Black girl Arlene, who tells him she shared a drug habit with wife Terri. Arlene's black pimp turns out to be Red Baron, same guy from the mixed combo footage and who robbed Jake in flashback.

Ras contacts Annie for info, and she narrates a flashback wherein Terri was turning tricks for $35 a pop. In this flashback we also see an abusive john beating up Annie and humping her in the ass. This nasty scene is very well performed by Annie, catering to the viewer's sadistic streak (this is a Joe Davian film, after all).

Dissolve from frustrated Ras to a shot of the Daily Tribune newspaper headline that Jill Richmond (wife Terri) has been found in the East River, a suicide. This utterly downbeat ending is in keeping with the morbid content Davian customarily delivers.
