Well-shot all-sex feature, its title a misnomer
lor_21 March 2011
HOUSE OF CROOKED WOMEN (or its Italian title with same meaning) does not properly describe this arousing video. It's just a series of wall-to-wall sex vignettes, well-photographed by director Nicky Ranieri (not Mario Salieri, as IMDb had listed).

The setting is Cannes, where these videos were bought and sold for international distribution by backer Sascha Alexander. The feature is currently in release basically to back up one of Sascha's Sarah Young vignettes, the package titled SARAH YOUNG DIRECTORS CUT 7 on DVD (itself a reissue of SARAH & FRIENDS 17). Though that seems to be putting the cart before the horse, it is canny programming by Sascha, as it lets all of us latter-day Sarah fanatics get a chance to see highly obscure but worthwhile Italian video features.

With the Cannes backdrop, Ranieri gets to feature lots of unpaid extras milling around the resort, evidently lensed guerrilla-style. Of course they're not around during the sex scenes, but it does help to open up the show.

A guy washing his car is the pointless narrator, treating us to a series of unrelated vignettes, each spotlighting a beautiful woman in XXX action. He name drops Jean-Claude Van Damme and Franco D'Alessi (given the '90s film festival/market milieu) and I still haven't figured out what D'Alessi is famous for apart from his porn videos like this one and notably TUTTA UNA VITA.

Segments showcase a tall, stunning blonde having sex outside on the steps; then similarly statuesque Deborah Wells getting it on the back seat of a limo with the same lucky guy.

Another blonde services Yves Baillat, while Jasmine/Emy Rush also has outdoor sex.

A redhead in sexy black lingerie has sex with the first guy, and finally Ron Jeremy shows up (not credited on screen but mentioned as a celeb by the narrator) to have a threesome with Jasmine/Emy Rush, highlighted by a d.p.

Upstaging this feature is Sarah's contribution. We see her in makeup, with a couple of minutes of setup footage that is ordinarily excised when this segment is compiled for "maximum sex content" use. Jon Dough stops by to give her a kiss -he's due to participate later in the show but it is cut before his sex scene occurs.

Vignette consists of Sarah and Peter North going at it in a law office right on the desk for a hot & heavy scene. Sarah fans will recognize the set, reused by director Sascha Alexander for other shows, notably the one starring the blonde bombshell who, alas, remains nameless for me. In this segment Sarah wears a striking orange red costume.
