The better version of this movie is the director's cut which was released on DVD by Dreamland USA. The movie was shot in February 1997 in just two days on a sound stage in the San Fernando Valley. Sprinklers were extended over the set to create the rain needed for the song and dance finale between Mike Horner and Alexandra Dane. Everyone in the cast does their own singing and there are a half dozen musical numbers. The story was a take-off on the classic "Singing in the Rain," which takes place in the 1920s and is about the making of the first talkie. "Swinging in the Rain" also takes place in the 1920s, but is about the making of the first X rated talkie! At the Adult Video News Awards in Las Vegas, in January 1998, this movie was up for 9 awards, including Best Sex Comedy, Best Screenplay (yes, there is one!), and Best Director. Of all these nominations, no one in the cast was honored for their singing! Cash Markman was singled out by Hustler magazine and named Worst Director of the Decade for doing this movie.
