Babyface

This really is one of the all time classics. Forget the cheap, rushed video films of today and indulge yourself with this treat. Focusing on one man hiding from the law in a male brothel, it includes some memorable scenes. There's a terrific orgy scene as one girl takes on the whole stable of studs and a bizarre scene involving clingfilm. What I particularly liked about this film is that it featured ordinary women enjoying themselves. There's none of the silicone enhanced stars of today-it's all natural. Also, some of the women were older than you would find today, which is no bad thing. All in all, a good movie for lovers of the adult genre and suitable for couples I would say.

Well, what can anyone say about this little gem! I saw it first in 1982 aged 15, and only last week came across it again.

Superlatives cannot describe this absolute, genuine classic - strong narrative, humour and a myriad of peachy one liners delivered by a posse of 'actors' who take the 'method' to its logical conclusion and genuinely look like they are enjoying themselves. There are times, my friends, when the delivery is so good you feel like you're almost in the room.

Unlike many films of this ilk, Babyface has a strong story with a fantastic twist you don't see coming till the Nutcracker's identity is finally revealed. I won't spoil it for you folks, but you'll be clinging on for dear life once you finally find out.

After a series of adventures and one serious er 'misdemeanour' our hero, Dan, finds himself at the Training Camp run by the redoubtable 'Champ' - a pint sized madam who makes Atilla the Hun look like a Red Cross volunteer. She reads Dan the Riot Act before introducing him to a small coterie of high achieving yet libidinous females who, over the course of the next ninety minutes, shag him senseless. That's about it, but watch out for the Nutcracker folks. She's heavy, really freaky....

The 'Citizen Kane' of adult entertainment, and not a zither in sight.

I have to agree with Daernoult (above), the stand-out scene in this movie is the Paul Thomas/Desiree West (aka Patricia Lee) scene, and its continuation when Amber Hunt joins in. One of the hottest scenes in all porn IMO. It really helps the eroticism of this scene that the underrated Desiree West could REALLY act (for my money porn's best actress). You have to see it to understand why, for once, good acting is important here. Note: you have to see the uncut version - which is available - the "contentious" dialogue in this scene is cut in at least one DVD release.

The notorious Kristine Heller gang-bang scene is also fantastic and runs the above a close second. In fact all but a couple of the sex scenes are really hot (and there's loads of them!).

The acting is mostly pretty good, though I have to disagree with the guy who singled out Joey Silvera and Sandy Pinney for special praise: Silvera's acting is mostly poor and Pinney's not much better, though both are good performers when it comes to the stuff that matters.

Filthy, funny and hugely entertaining, this is a well made, humorous, slightly subversive movie from the days when porn was a semi outlaw, counter-cultural activity in (mostly) San Francisco. Within a few years porn relocated itself to LA and became plastic and air-headed. Ah well...

See this movie if you want to find out just how inventive and exciting 70s porn could be at its best.

A great movie!!! I saw this at age 14 after finding a pirate copy in my dads room. Stand out scene has to be the Paul Thomas/Patricia Lee scene with Amber Hunt joining in half way through. Porno Perfection, I have never, ever seen another scene which matches this for its eroticism and intensity. I cannot believe that no one else has mentioned it. Also the Dan Roberts/Linda Wong and Amber Hunt scene on the house boat is not bad, I would not have minded being bathed by those two!! I could really take or leave the rest of the 'scenes' but at least this move has a plot and is shot well. Please, please, please, does anybody know where we can find the DVD for this? A crime it has not been released.

Alex de Renzy's "Babyface" is a notorious entry in the annals of adult entertainment. With a bizarre blend of upbeat fun and skin-crawling moments, this hardcore classic is a rollercoaster of explicit thrills and unsettling twists.

The film follows two intertwining narratives. In one, we meet the titular character, a teenager (played by Lyn "Cuddles" Malone) who, despite appearing to be in her mid-twenties, encounters an older construction worker, Dan (Dan Roberts), and experiences a deflowering that is as comical as it is explicit. The other thread focuses on Dan's attempt to evade the consequences of his actions by seeking refuge in "The Champ's" (Kathryn Reed) all-male bordello, leading to a series of raunchy and often humorous encounters.

"Babyface" is a peculiar beast. On the one hand, it embraces female pleasure and desires, with a surprising amount of wholesomeness amidst the graphic content. The film leans into its comedic elements, finding humor in the campy dialogue and the over-the-top situations that unfold. However, the film also ventures into darker territory, with themes that some may find disturbing. The "jailbait" setup, a mother's unsettling obsession with her daughter's teenage love interests, and a relentless, cum-soaked gang bang scene showcase the film's ability to venture into the realm of the uncomfortably explicit.

The performances are committed, and the film delivers some genuinely shocking moments. The knife-wielding mother's showdown is a standout, as is the cling film-clad hilarity of Dan Roberts. Yet, with a runtime of almost two hours, "Babyface" feels overly indulgent, testing the patience of even the most dedicated viewer.

In conclusion, "Babyface" is a hard-to-define piece of pornography. It's not for the faint of heart, but within the genre, it offers a unique blend of humor, shock value, and a nod to female pleasure that sets it apart. A curious artifact of adult cinema that, despite its flaws, remains a must-see for those who can appreciate its particular brand of provocative entertainment.
