Vista Valley P.T.A. (Cal Vista Classics) review summaries:
fu_q's
It seems that just about everyone is up against a new, hard-assed English teacher at Vista Valley High (the lovely Jesie St. James) who's been brought in to whip the unruly school back into shape. Known more for its chaos, beatings, and rapes than its academic rigor, it seems that the students (...and their parents...) at the school are far more interested in fucking around--and just plain fucking, for that matter--than they are in bettering themselves. Indeed, their problems run deep and spread wide, and whether Jesie will be able to set things right and get them back on the straight and narrow...or whether she'll ultimately find herself entangled in their intricate web of carnal corruption...remains to be seen. Such is the case in "Vista Valley P.T.A", a very good, 1981 release from VCX and director Anthony Spinelli. [read the full review]

The cover slick for Vista Valley P.T.A. says “Jessie St. James is the next in a long line of teachers to take on a trouble class of high schollers in a small town with beautiful suburban exterior that hides an underbelly of dysfunctional relationships, sexual deviancy and profound rebellion.

Easy (Cal Vista) review summaries:
fu_q's
An unintentional encounter with a loser student leads a repressed-though-sexual, young teacher, Jesie St. James, down a dirty and ultimately unfulfilling path. Indeed, it seems that no matter which turn she takes in her life thereafter--for love, for lust, or for both--Jesi is destined for erotic despair. Such is the case in "Easy", a very good, 1978 release from VCX and director Anthony Spinelli. [read the full review]

Nothing to Hide (Cal Vista) review summaries:
fu_q's
When his simple best friend, Richard Pacheco, finds love in the arms of a young woman and begins to drift away, a rough-around-the-edges, smooth-talking, hard-fucking womanizer, John Leslie, is left to deal with feelings of emptiness quite unfamiliar to him. Such is the case in "Nothing to Hide 1", an exceptional, 1981 release from director Anthony Spinelli and Cal Vista. [read the full review]
