The Opening of Misty Beethoven

All of adult film maker Radley Metzger's soft and hardcore films bear his unmistakable stamp of elegance. While that is true, only The Opening of Misty Beethoven broke the XXX mold and earned respect as a well made film which happened to contain lots of actual sex. Thanks to a witty script, deft performances, striking sets, and continental locales, this is one for the time capsule. The only erotic feature ever to achieve Film of The Year from all major magazines and associations.

Cruising the red light district of Paris, bestselling author and sex expert Seymour Love (Jamie Gillis) finds an adult film theater showing the French classic, Pussy Talk! His viewing is interrupted by a crass escort girl, Misty Beethoven (Constance Money), who offers to take him out for a quick, good time for fifty dollars. Seymour wagers he can turn Misty into the toast of the town as the revered, Golden Rod Girl. He will then introduce her at the next high society party thrown by vain magazine publisher Lawrence Layman (Ras Kean) and his wife (Gloria Leonard). The Opening of Misty Beethoven is a very literal version of Pygmalion/My Fair Lady with breathtaking Constance Money playing Eliza to Jamie Gillis' 'Enry Higgins.

Overall one of the best Porn movies of all time. Almost entirely intact. Includes (supposedly) never before seen footage and previously censored material. Lots of extras including a very interesting and revealing, running commentary from Jamie Gillis and Gloria Leonard, Gallery of the director's production stills, Hall of Fame Photo Gallery narrated by Jim Holliday, Short monologue from Jim Holliday, Cast info and VCA promotional filler.
