The Key to Sex

Not sure where the comedy was in this (maybe I missed it?) but "The Key to Sex" is a pretty good 90's softcore movie that benefits from the casting of the prolific Monique Parent, Jacqueline Lovell and Jeannie Millar.

The "key" appears to be the one to a Malibu mansion where all the excitement - if you know what I mean - takes place. Some memorable scenes, but the plot is kind of silly. Not that we watch these movies for the plot, naturally.

Interesting to see the movie posters for other similar movies on the walls of the studio office scenes. Talk about cross promotion!

I forgot if this movie had a plot or not. If it did have one, I must have missed it. Of course there's plenty of sex (as the title of the movie suggests), and it stars my favorite T&A movie babe, Monique Parent. She's been in a lot of these, and it shows....she looks kinda old in this one. Maybe it's the short hair...oh well. In one scene she does a little roleplaying with this guy, he being the master of the house and she playing the part of the naive french maid. Complete with a bad french accent and a skimpy maid's uniform, she prances through the house, "trying" not to be caught by the master. Of course he catches her and....well, you know the rest. That's about it, nothing else too special. Don't sit through the whole thing, but check out the scene I talked about if you want a laugh.

This poorly written and even non-sensical movie is only blessed with some very graphic sex scenes. The so-called stars are overshadowed by the spectacularly beautiful and sexy Jeannie Millar. The scenes Ms. Millar are in including the opening dream scene are the main redeeming qualities of the movie. The lighting and photography of the sex scenes are of high quality as a plus. Overall 1 1/2 stars but Ms. Millar 4 stars.

The "Key to Sex" is a very funny, cleverly written and directed film for the erotic genre. It is for people interested in something spicier than "Mary Poppins". Acting and production values are much better than most films in this budget range. There are two different versions available, an un-rated version and a "R" rated version. The "R" rated version has been a very strong rental favorite.

Of all the erotic films I've directed I'd have to say that "The Key to Sex" is one of my favorites. I had a gorgeous and talented cast starring; Maria Ford, Scott Carson, Jennie Millar, Monique Parent and Jacqueline Lovell. I got a clever and funny script from Chris Byrne, beautiful photography from Harris Done and a great musical score from Carl Schurtz. Plus I got tremendous producing support from Bill Burke and Eddie Holzman. All of us worked hard to make this an entertaining, funny and erotic film. And in my opinion, it is one of the best low budget erotic films out there.

I've been reading the IMDb comments and it seems a lot of people have enjoyed the film. As the director, I'm very pleased that so many people have a positive response to it.

There is one comment; however, that I'd like to clarify. It is the comment by some reviewers that the sex scenes are real. I'm referring specifically to the lesbian scene between Maria Ford and Amber Herrel that took place out by the pool. As with all of the erotic films I've directed or produced, none of the sex scenes are real. They're simulated! I just think it says a lot about Maria Ford's acting ability that so many people think she's really having sex. She's incredible talented and always delivers 100% in every scene she's in; whether it be comedic, dramatic or romantic. I'm sorry to disappoint those reviews who think she's really doing it, but guys, it's called "Acting".
