AdamAndEve. Behind.The.Mask .1080p
The film is a romantic feature that, while not as iconic as classic works by Nicholas Steele, offers strong escapism and is rich in style. The soundtrack features haunting choral elements composed by Lance Erickson, including chants of the film's title. The story revolves around an ancient secret society, whose rituals and orgies reflect contemporary swinger party culture. A significant medallion, reminiscent of the old Playboy Club keys, plays a central role in the plot, although the film was originally titled "Masquerade" instead of "The Medallion."The female cast primarily consists of lesser-known actresses, with Avy Scott being a notable exception. The lead, Melody, resembles the popular star April O'Neil and portrays a reporter who hires investigator Steven St. Croix to uncover the secret sect for an exposé. However, her plans take an unexpected turn, leading her to become the focal point of an extravagant orgy at the society's castle-like headquarters, culminating in an elaborate erotic climax. The script, credited to Steele and Peter Wood, is criticized for being predictable, with a straightforward trajectory toward the society's finale. The sex scenes are described as more elegant and dreamy than current standards, reminiscent of Steele's earlier work for A E/Ultimate Pictures, which is considered a peak in Adult Cinema artistry. Despite the predictable script, the attention to detail in each scene reflects the director's high standards.
