Beauty (1982)
Beauty(1982) Overview"Beauty," released in 1982 by VCA, is a high-bitrate DVDRip sourced from a less-than-ideal tape master, yet it is superior to other available versions as of the upload date. The film has garnered positive reviews, particularly highlighting its seriousness compared to typical adult films, and showcasing strong casting, performances, and technical execution. Loni Sanders stars as Beauty, presenting a blend of naiveté and allure. The storyline, adapted to fit contemporary themes, avoids feeling derivative, contributing to its timeless quality. The film was first viewed in theaters in NYC in February 1983 and remains well-regarded decades later. The DVD revival, led by Erica Boyer, has helped preserve notable adult films, including "Artemisia."The plot follows Martin Gross, played by Jamie Gillis, who is a smut magnate. After Beauty's father loses money in one of Gross's card games, Gross offers to absolve him of debt in exchange for Beauty living with him for a year, without the expectation of sexual relations. Beauty willingly accepts the arrangement and travels from San Francisco to New York City. The film features brief sex scenes, some lasting only seconds, diverging from the longer scenes typical of contemporary adult films. Notable moments include Beauty witnessing an aspiring model with Gillis and appearances by her sisters, as well as a key orgy scene with other prominent actors. An interesting subplot involves Gross's female professional basketball team, the NY Slits, parodying the Schlitz beer logo. The film also includes various rock tracks and pirated music, characteristic of director Shaun Costello's works. "Beauty" concludes with a satisfying ending, focusing on narrative rather than an additional sex scene.
