Private Film 27: The Gigolo

The 5-hour feature "The Gigolo" harkens back to when Euro porn distributor Private was pioneering in lavish, big-budget projects, an Adult Cinema trend afficianados fondly remember dating before porn became a commodity due to internet distribution stressing amateur and gonzo product.

First half presents a glamorous, jet setter backdrop with Rolls-Royces, French Riviera settings and beautiful ladies in lovely costumes. Frank Versace in the title role performs the sex scenes well but is singularly unimpressive, with Philippe Soine, soon to become a director, dominating the movie as the main character.

But of course it is the actresses who matter most. Lovely Tania Russof, seen on her wedding night with Soine in flashback, is still among the most beloved of Private superstars, and is exceptional in a BDSM scene that ends Part 1, including a cliff-hanger climax in which Gabrielle Scream dons a strap-on dildo to use on her in Part 2.

Scream is an actress who I'm not familiar with, who had a very brief career but shines here, literally dominating her scenes. She's a high-energy performer from America who should have become a star. Actual stars Monique Covet (one of Dorcel's greatest) and Olivia Del Rio also light up the screen briefly.

Whenever I read the same stupid comments about porn being silly and incapable of being an extension of mainstream cinema, I'm reminded of not just the famous so-called Porno Chic period of the '70s into early '80s but these VHS era major productions that due to changing tastes and severe budget reductions are no longer viable.

Private Video consistently provides the highest quality adult fare, and this is no exception. Tania and the rest of the cast look excellent, the sex is scorching, and there is a credible plot. Kudos to Private for producing another winner.

The world of high-class escorts and their intimate encounters is explored in this erotic feature from renowned director Pierre Woodman. "The Gigolo" follows the sexual adventures of a male escort, offering a glimpse into a world of passion, desire, and uninhibited pleasure. With a focus on aesthetic cinematography and explicit scenes, this film delivers a sensual experience that is both provocative and entertaining.

In this feature, we witness the life of a male escort, played by Jean-Pierre Armand, as he services a variety of women, each with their own unique desires and fantasies. From sultry seductions to wild orgies, the film showcases a range of sexual experiences, ensuring that viewers are treated to a diverse and exciting display of adult entertainment.

Ina a steamy foursome, Joy Kiss, a stunning blonde, finds herself in a passionate embrace with Jean-Pierre Armand and two other male performers. She moans in ecstasy as she enjoys a vigorous double penetration, with Jean-Pierre thrusting deeply into her vagina while Yves Baillat claims her anus. As the men drive her wild with pleasure, her cries of delight fill the room. The scene concludes with a facial cumshot, leaving Joy's satisfied expression as a lasting memory.

As the film progresses, we are introduced to a host of beautiful women, each with their own unique appeal. One standout scene involves the gorgeous Olivia del Rio, a sultry brunette with a penchant for anal pleasure. She finds herself in a daring double penetration scene, taking Alain Deloin in her anus while Richard Langin penetrates her vagina on the hood of a car under a starry night sky. As if that weren't enough, Monique Covet and Jean-Yves Le Castel join in, creating a passionate quartet of carnal delight, their moans and groans echoing through the night, culminating in a facial cumshot that leaves Olivia del Rio with a satisfied smile on her face and a glistening reward.

In terms of production value, "The Gigolo" excels in creating an atmosphere of luxury and sensuality. The settings are elegant, ranging from lavish bedrooms to outdoor locations, providing a visually appealing backdrop to the explicit action. The costumes and makeup are also well-executed, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the film.

However, it is the sexual performances that truly shine in this feature. The cast embraces their roles with enthusiasm and a clear passion for their craft. The chemistry between the performers is palpable, making the scenes intensely arousing and believable. From gentle caresses to intense orgasms, the cast delivers a range of expressions and reactions that enhance the viewer's experience.

Overall, "The Gigolo" is a steamy and explicit journey into the world of high-class escorts and their intimate encounters. With a focus on passionate performances and aesthetic cinematography, director Pierre Woodman delivers a sensual experience. The film offers a diverse range of sexual scenarios, ensuring there is something to arouse a variety of tastes. While the plot could have been more developed, the strength of the sexual performances and the film's ability to capture the essence of desire and pleasure shine through.
