Best of Nina Hartley, The (Adam & Eve) Review

Reviewed by Big Raider Fan  on  12/26/2012

Nina’s been around for quite a while, having begun her porn career back in 1984, and she’s still going strong. She’s got 933 titles in her movie career (according to IAFD, although not all of them are sex scenes), so picking a best of must be quite a challenge. However, the earliest scene included on The Best of Nina Hartley only goes back to 1997, so there’s about 13 years seriously unrepresented. While I’ve enjoyed Nina over the years, I have a fondness for some of her early scenes and the earlier part of her career, and it would have been a more interesting compilation to me if scenes from these years were included, as well as a bit more interracial. Also, since there's already 2 other volumes in this series, they might have planned these out better. That said, if you enjoy Nina more in her later career, you’ll probably enjoy this two disc set from Adam & Eve Pictures, which runs around 6 hours total. The discs are fullscreen, with some scenes anamorphic widescreen, and extras include a bonus scene (from Play It Again Samantha), photo gallery, trailers, and web info.

The scenes are a mix of m/f and f/f, with a threesome or two sprinkled in. Here's what's included:
