Without further ado, let's get straight into this collection of Pierre Woodman's interviews, auditions, photo shoots and sex scenes with some extremely attractive girls.

Elysa Mell
This dark-brunette Russian (?) has a sweet, round face, which I can imagine set Pierre after her like a hound after a frightened little bunny. She says she's not nervous but she hasn't much to say for herself. The usual pattern of having her look at Private magazines and quizzing her about sex produces little more than a shy little smile to herself when she's asked about sexual fantasies. Apparently she'd like to do it on a beach, under the moon, by the water. Ah, a romantic! Sorry, my dear, all we want is to see you get nekkid! So she does, and what a fine, slim but curvy figure she has.

One of the things I find interesting about these scenes is just how the girls scrub up when they go in front of the camera, for real. Plane Janes are transformed into stunning starlets, though it's a shame the same magic isn't worked on Pierre - his trousers here are a hoot. All glammed up in black dress and matching nylons, Elysa takes on three cocks over cognac in this photo shoot coverage - I like the way the make-up woman deftly negotiates the erections as she nips in to apply some powder. Elysa has her bottom filled on the way to ending up with three loads of come dripping from her smiling face.
Interview: Moscow, July 1995. Photo shoot: Private 132

Mona Lisa
When this redhead first raises her eyes from the magazines she's checking out, I must admit I gasped. Just a little. She's very, very pretty - how could I have forgotten? Beautiful and cool with anal? Okay, I think Pierre might be interested. A nice touch is that while Mona Lisa is stripping off, Pierre pans his camera round to the person who's flipping through a magazine, out of shot so far. It's Nikita, and she say she's jealous of the girls who got to go to Egypt with Pierre. Mona Lisa, probably named for her enigmatic smile, which she shows often, gets naked for Pierre, but he must have been sold already; I know I would be!

Mona Lisa brings her beautiful body and wonderful long hair into action in a scene from Private Stories 17 - and lo and behold, it's a Christoph Clark-directed affair that's a close relative to Nikki Anderson's scene in Euro Angels 3. In that cardboard prison-cell set, Richard Lengin and Philippe Dean are convicts, and Mona is a naughty nurse who handles their cocks and blows them while waving her super sexy ass around. Mona's legs look fabulous in white stockings, as the lads have their wicked way with her, in turn stuffing her glowing pink pussy, double penetrating her a couple of times, and ultimately spunking on her face. It's a bit of a cheap, dashed-off scene, but it's fun and Mona Lisa shows some physical signs of being genuinely turned on. But of course, that's all down to the studio lights and so on, silly me.
Interview: Budapest, August 1996. Sex scene: Private Stories 17

Victoria
The interview with this very happy, attractive girl shows some of the best and worst of the castings format, or more exactly the way they're translated. Shame I don't understand Russian. What's good about this interview is that the giggly girl declares she has no complexes, but has to leave the room to undress (I don't know why - she has a sensational, quite athletic figure). Then every one of Pierre's near-the-knuckle inquiries is met with a giggle. But on the other hand, it's frustrating that Victoria's lengthy response to the idea of girl-girl sex is translated in a single line for us, and that whatever the sexual fantasies are that make her eyes sparkle and her cheeks flush are not to be shared with the Private viewing public. Pah!

Of course, the ironic thing is that we are to be allowed to see Victoria taking it all ways in the "on location" footage of a photo shoot, which follows. Sunshine, foaming waves, jagged rocks, and her sparkling smile are the order of the day as she accommodates two of Pierre's usual desperados. The erotic value of this fairly basic coverage of the sex is limited as they're just posing for photos, no matter how rude (and they are, as all her holes are seen to), so it's just as well we get to see Victoria in action in a proper sex scene too. It's nice to see, and hear, her enjoying a proper seeing-to from the same two chaps, her clothes dating the scene around the same time, even if the sound doesn't quite match the visuals, the editing is a bit of a hatchet job, there's only one noticeable facial, and Franck's shirt is a fashion disaster. But apart from all that, it's all right!
Interview: Moscow, April 1994. Photo shoot: Pirate 29. Sex scene: Private Video Magazine 19

Roxanne Hall
Of course, lovely English lass Roxanne was soon to become a bona fide porn star and an enduring presence in mid-to-late '90s porn on both sides of the pond. Here, Pierre interviews her as an 18-year-old 6 months into her career. She's already worked with John Stagliano, but she says she doesn't do anal. I bet Pierre was thinking "we'll see about that!" but he leaves it for the moment. Of course, you know her slim but curvy body is lovely. What I like about Roxanne is her open way, her intent, wide-eyed gaze, but what really fascinates me is the way she clams up when Pierre asks her about fantasies. In Gregory Dark's Snake Pit, she makes some revelations that apparently she later felt gave too much away (I think the intense and rather rough sex of that scene went beyond mere performance too), so it's intriguing that she doesn't spill the beans here. Just shows what a few short years in this business can do.

So, on to a photo shoot conducted on a balcony overlooking unknowing punters splashing in the hotel pool below. Looking gorgeous in, at a guess, Southern French sunshine, she gets a mouthful of three petits Parisiens for her petit déjeuner. As these photo shoot scenes go, this is particularly slow and broken into various poses. It's most notable for the fact that Roxanne does indeed take it in the derrière. She keeps her composure and stays smiling as the three guys come on her face, but doesn't it just kill the fantasy to see how fast the smile fades.
Interview: Budapest, May 1994. Photo shoot: Triple X 3

Dailany
For some reason, this 21-year-old gives her name as Christina. She's Asian but speaks French with Pierre in interview. She soon opens up, with sparkling dark eyes and a hearty laugh that makes her chest wobble in her tight top. She's had an interesting life: born in India, adopted by a Belgian family, been living in Spain, likes threesomes, dislikes anal. She readily shows off her sturdy figure to Pierre - she has lovely boobs and a big, chunky bum.

On to a look at the shooting of Sweet Baby 2, where Christina and another girl get into a scene with Philippe Dean and Akim. Christina has clearly found it within herself to do some anal sex, here female co-star is double penetrated too, and Christina gets a load of come in her mouth. What's really instructive about this clip is just how heavily Pierre directs the performers during the sex, constantly ordering them around, though they seem to be enjoying themselves too much to listen to him, and we can't have that!
Interview: Spain, August 1996. Sex Scene: Sweet Baby 2.

Clarisse
First topic of discussion? Her name: Andrea, of course. 18 and a student, pretty Clarisse initially isn't interested, so there's one of those infuriating cuts, and the interview resumes with our girl now all smiles and ready to show her slim, trim, girlish body. I can only echo Pierre - she has a superb bottom. This actually turns into one of the most attention grabbing interviews. Her sexual exploits are more than her cute expression would suggest, but it's her fantasies that have my ears standing to attention, even allowing for what may be loose translation from Magyar to French to English. Suffice to say, it's illegal in most civilized countries. And to think I reckoned she was a shy little girl. Interesting too that Pierre drops the name of "Jocelyn" into the mix when they're talking about big dicks.

Then it's on location for a photo shoot, where Clarisse is treated to three dicks courtesy of Messrs Versace, Dean and Lengin. She looks sweet but there's not too much of real interest here (the sex is all posed - anal, DP, facials), especially not for the bored looking guys. Same goes for another shoot, this time with Clarisse with her hair crimped and Soine and Lengin supplying the dicks in a room, which has quite a lot of people in the corner watching. As the sex goes on, you can hear loud sex noises from another room. Curious. Clarisse looks adorable taking virtually synchronised come shots on her face.
Interview: Budapest, April 1996. Photo shoots: Triple X 17, Sex 11.

Anita
Blonde hair in plaits. Impossibly sweet smile. Flawless youthful complexion. Tiny little voice. Even Pierre can't believe it and asks his translator Gabriella to check Anita's passport to make sure she's over 18. By a whisker, I'd say. Incidentally, she says her name is "Sheila" (on the subtitles, that would be Csilla or similar in Magyar - the Private online shop lists her as "Csila Star", with very few scenes other than comps credited ) but I'm too busy wiping the tea I spray on the screen when I hear Pierre's response to her comment that she wants to be a film actress. "Perfect. I do films, too" he announces. I'm not sure that your films are quite what she had in mind, dear boy, and of course it's nonsense of him to try and persuade her that appearing in his movies will get her into "real" cinema.

Naturally, whatever he said to persuade her to stay and show her lovely body happens off-camera, but however it's done and for whatever reasons, here's Anita showing her tanned little figure while looking like a frightened rabbit. The interview about her sex life, or lack of it, is slightly troubling, as she relates with a pleading look in her beautiful eyes that a guy made her suck his cock, but that's as far as it's gone. Meanwhile, all Pierre can think about is how to get her in the business, and no doubt how he can get her to fuck him - he certainly perks up when he hears she's a virgin, and some of the other comments are slightly dubious too. Bluntly, she looks like those amazing eyes of hers will fill with tears at any moment. What a doubtful delight this is - I am unsure as to who's being manipulated here.

So now she's alone with Pierre, for his customary initiation. It's shot on a static camera but there's no need to worry, as there are plenty of delicious images of her supple young body. The sex here, as usual, demands her physical commitment and if not truly virginal, frankly Anita has played her part to a degree that I find hard to credit her with, even if the way her hand snakes around Pierre's neck as they kiss is hardly like a reluctant innocent.

Although she's physically starting to relax, she still looks pensive as he goes down on her pussy. Anita makes him take it very gingerly at first, but soon he's moving fast and deep inside her, making her dainty little tootsies curl as she moans and stroke his hairy back (yuk!). On top, her buttocks quiver at his rapid thrusts and smacks. After a remorseless doggy fuck, Pierre lubes her ass and has her hold her cheeks open as he eases into her anus. Maybe her innoicent guise is slipping as she moans, "Yes" during some really hard ass fucking, but what the hell, all other considerations go out the window - it's simply a delight to see her fucking like this, even if she doesn't treat a mouthful of Pierre's semen in the same way.
Interview & initiation: Budapest, July 1997

Zana
Finally, the one that got away is a pretty girl who I'd suggest is Russian, but the production notes claim Budapest as the location - their date is out of step with the scene title, so the location may be wrong too. Anyway, this is one of the more erotic moments of this edition, as the freckle-faced eighteen-year-old takes quite some coaxing to shed her clothes and show lovely boobs. Pierre's twist on the interview is interesting as he answers the questions for her, while she giggles winsomely, and he gets most right. Still, while his comments about her skin may be true, they're also quite ungallant.
Interview: September 1993 (scene title - seems more accurate)

Overall
As once more I find I have rambled on at great length about an edition of this ever-interesting series, I shall keep it brief in conclusion. Sometimes it's hard to recommend one edition of the series over another, even the presence of a favoured girl can be a let down as with Anita Dark, but this is a particularly good one, I feel, thanks to a couple of decent sex scenes and especially because cover girl Anita is so gorgeous, so sweet and falls right into Woodman's clutches! Excellent. The usual caveats apply - modest to poor picture quality, rough shooting, limited appeal - hence the lower score, but if you know what this series is about, you may enjoy this while worrying just how moral it all is. Oh, Anita, it may be wrong but it feels so right!

DVD Comments
As I mentioned, the source footage is very much shot on the hoof, hence the rough quality, but it's never enough to spoil it, and the actual sex scenes from Private features are good quality. The sound could be better; it's sometimes hard to hear, though subtitles for several languages are supplied, along with different audio tracks too. Extras include a interesting interview with Pierre (dated July 1997, after shooting the Fugitive) photo galleries for most girls, cast and production notes, trailers and a DVD-Rom catalogue and photos section.
