Giochi maliziosi

Debbie Does Dallas is the alltime classic adult film of the golden age when porn was actually something more than tissue and lotion movies...well it still is a tissue and lotion movie but I actually enjoy watching these begining to end....because these films had something that today's adult films don't have...that is nostalgic and silliness and actual plots. People today despise porno like this because it has a plot and they just want to see the nudity , and thats a shame because the producers actually cared about the product back then. These were shot with the intention of proving that they could carry the banners as actual film makers rather than hacks who could shoot boring sex scenes for their own enjoyment rather than the audiences. Debbie Does Dallas is the top favorite because of it's over the top acting of Bambi Woods as the ditzy sweet blonde character , and the hillarious shopkeep of Mr.Greenfeld..hillarious dialogue and one of the best porno scores ever make this an all time top 10 classic..

10/10

Obviously, Minestra's screenplay is not one of the great works of film writing, but let's take a moment to appreciate it for its virtues. The film has better pacing than almost any other film of the time in this genre, and the key scenes are well-established and strangely engrossing.

True, there are flaws in the film. A few of the actors and actresses have a kind of gross/scary look that seems to somehow be the result of the decade itself, and the score is maddeningly repetitive. Still, the good elements at least measure up to the bad ones.

I was a little disappointed (as I imagine many were) that Bambi Woods wasn't given more to work with. Even though she is given top billing and the titular character, she doesn't have any real dramatic moments until the end of the film.

I have to say that the best actress of the picture was Debbie Lewis in her small, but pivotal role as Girl in Shower.

Though I wouldn't call Debbie Does Dallas a masterpiece, I would recommend it to any fan of the genre.

The title of this movie, with its allusion to the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, titillated both the media and the public, with the result that millions who have never seen it think of it as some kind of great classic porno flick. A lot of adult movie fans who have seen it, however, will tell you it's nothing special at all.

One knock against its alleged immortality is that it doesn't boast a cast of first-rate female performers. The star, Bambi Woods, is attractive, but not memorable, and she did little other work in the field besides the sequel. Arcadia Lake is cute, but none of the rest of the women are "A-list." Merle Michaels, though, is my pick as the standout performer and actress.

The script might get an occasional chuckle out of you but there are tons of adult films out there more worth one's while.

I find it remarkable some of the comments that are made in these "reviews"??? One gentleman thought it was like watching a porno? I wonder what he thought it was gonna be.....perhaps a love story, maybe a sports competition. Someone has to have been deep, very deep in the South American jungle to not know the premise of "Debbie Does Dallas". And others comment about how unattractive most of the actors/actresses are. And I imagine all of them are out of the molds of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. I might guess that most of them would give their right arm to spend one night with any of the actresses in the film. One has to remember this movie did not come out of the 2000's. This movie is 30 years old. Much of the technology of today's filmmakers was not available then. As one post commented correctly, this film gave some of the Oscar nominated films of the year a run for their money. And it was not even shown in the mainline theaters for the most part. It was one of the many examples of the destructive forces appearing in a film such as this can have on a person. Many actors/actresses have attempted to start by appearing in a non-participatory sexual role of an X rated film, and some cases a very limited participation such as this one. Bambi experienced a downfall that apparently led to her very untimely death. Kristen DeBell, who was in "Alice in Wonderland", found that even though she was attempting to get into the mainstream films her involvement proved to be her death knoll in the industry. However, Julianne Moore who appeared in Boogie Nights didn't suffer the same results. So when we talk about these films we need to realize we are talking about a very volatile, unpredictable group of films and participants involved in their making.

The Original Debbie Does Dallas is far more of a movie than the modern versions, which like many of today's pornos are essentially a gallery of sex scenes strung together with a semblance of a plot. The Original very much plays on the innocence factor. The young, perky high school cheerleaders offer their 'services' to their teachers and bosses in order to raise money (seems like they're always trying to raise money.) The sex is a fulfillment of that teenage girls screwing older men fantasy. `Oh Mr. Greenfield, I'm not that kind of girl. Oh my Mr. Greenfield, you're so big!' The girls are all very attractive with wonderfully natural bodies. If you like looking at small, round breasts over and over again this is the movie for you. There are a ton of cutesy 'upskirt' and 'downblouse' camera shots.

The major flaws with the Original on DVD are the poor audio, and the complete lack of extras.
