Running Time: 87 min. Production Date: 5 / 7 / 1998 Director: Brad Armstrong Cast: Missy, Sydnee Steele, Stephanie Swift, Charlie, Liza Harper, Syren, Petra, Tyce Bune, Herschel Savage, Brad Armstrong, Ian Daniels, Steve Hatcher, and Mickey G. Initial Expectations: Ive heard mixed things on this title, so Im keeping an open mind. Initial Reaction: The sex is hot and the rest of it is very well done. Who Should Watch It : Couples and fans of Wickeds contract girls Who Should Avoid It: Raincoaters and anybody looking for more extreme sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio feels a bit hollow through much of the feature, and theres also a bit that appears dubbed. The levels also appear to vary a bit, as does the balance in some of the scenes. The video has slight grain and a few shadows, but is clear right out to the edge. Neither the grain or the shadows interfere too much, with the video ending up just a touch above average.

Golden girl Missy looks sweetly demure, but always desirable in HEARTACHE, a Brad Armstrong- directed feature video about infidelity and temptation, which are always dependable vehicles for hot sex in any porn film, or any Fox-TV show for that matter. Old man Herschel Savage plays the husband of young Missy, who has a sexual longing and need for fulfillment which is convincing in this soap opera-ish tale (thankfully, the title of this movie has nothing to do with that old Bonnie Tyler song from the late seventies). The movie takes place amidst Spanish settings and costumes, which add to the feel and texture to the story. Wicked never ever cheats on giving their viewers simply superb production designs, and the attention to detail here (and in any porno) should be noted and appreciated. The tension is sparked by the appearance of drifter Tyce Bune, who stumbles upon Herschel's estate, and who is not at all shy about expressing his interest in Missy.
