After School Exams

Watching the ABA DVD which resurrected this forgotten porn programmer, I was struck once more with how Brigitte Maier was ill-used by the entertainment industry.

Sure, she made an indelible impression in a couple of Lasse Braun movies, but her earlier and later Hollywood career as a XXX-rated starlet is almost a total washout. More beautiful, and with those buck teeth plus a red hairdo more distinctive than her actress peers, she somehow was never cast in an interesting project. Casting is all-important in movies - it's obvious that neither Georgina Spelvin nor Linda Lovelace would have made even the slightest impression on the public had they not been discovered by Gerard Damiano.

This slapdash film has poor sound recording and sync making it an immediate turn-off. A phone wakes up a guy in bed with Brigitte to open the movie and later a bearded old guy humps her -BM looking way to beautiful to fit in the pitiful surroundings.

His daughter Kathy comes to visit him, and she too is an unsung porn beauty - Dalana Bissonnette, an actress who I saw in many films and never knew her name until IMDb eventually listed it -she never even got screen credit for her work.

There's lesbian sex, a party scene attended by the scruffy, unappealing porn "hick" actor Henry Ferris. (In closeup we get to see the ugly warts on Ferris's dick -yuck!)

The dialog is pointless and a montage of motel signs indicates our protagonists are searching for shelter. During the sex scenes the telltale appearance of dirty feet proves how little effort is being expended on the production.

Later on there's a lesbian threesome involving Dana, Brigitte and a character named Gary, leading to a sudden, arbitrary ending in the middle of a scene, perhaps due to an incomplete print used for video transfer.
