Dorcel present a pair of early '90s Italian productions on this two-on-one
disc. La Veuve de Buda-Fesse (originally Il Frutto del peccato)
is a vehicle for Angelica Bella while Orgasmes sur le Danube features
Erika Bella among others. Both are presented here with dubbed French dialogue
only.
There are a few important points to note: first, Angelica Bella only features
in La Veuve, despite the impression given by her using her as the main
image on the cover. Also, most of the photos used on the cover do not
show scenes from either of these movies. For my part, I apologise for
the sketchy identification of cast members in this review, but details
are hard to come by and the box cover is equally unhelpful on that score.

read this…
La Veuve de Buda-Fesse
The punning French title of this Clark-directed affair loses its meaning
in literal translation. It follows a fairly well trodden path in porn,
as Angelica Bella plays a widow who takes her late husband's business
affairs, not to mention most of his former colleagues, in hand. While
the sex is rarely sensational, and Christoph's self-confessed shortcomings
as a director are much in evidence, it's a real little gem for Angelica
watching, as she appears in every scene modelling a variety of outfits.
Her flirtatious manner and tousled, "just got out of bed" hair are consistent
delights.
After returning home from the funeral, the grief-stricken veuve
falls asleep in her maid's arms. The other mourners discreetly make their
apologies and leave, but no sooner have they departed the scene than Angelica
awakes and proceeds to find solace with her maid, played by Deborah Wells.
The erotic promise of this scenario is rich, with the lushly curvaceous
Angelica still in her widow's weeds and the slim, elegant Deborah in her
maid costume. As the girls gradually slip out of their costumes while
playing with tongues, fingers and a vibrator, I can only imagine how good
this scene could have been if the girls had really gone for it as they
give a remarkable impression of being desperately excited by sex which
is, in truth, no more than the usual act. There is plenty to fire the
imagination in notion of their bodies pressing and their stocking-clad
legs swishing against the other but while it tempts and tantalises it
never quite convinces.
Angelica commences taking care of business, firstly using her feminine
charms to convince Christoph Clark's character to sign a contract. I hate
to think how many times I've seen Christoph taking off his suit and tie
when playing some suave poseur, whole Magma movies seemed to be taken
up with this task, but this time I'm glad as it means Angelica is also
stripping off her ghastly green suit and garish blouse to reveal her fabulous
breasts. I'm getting ahead - firstly, Angelica fellates Christoph with
that sensational tongue technique of hers. Then, they start to
disrobe and proceed to indulge in sex, including lots of anal, in numerous
positions over the desk and on a chair. Angelica remains in her skin-tone
stockings and heels and there's ample opportunity to ogle her form, though
the rather limited camerawork frustratingly zooms in right past her boobs
on several occasions. How could they! Angelica whacks Christoph off onto
her tongue, and he gladly signs immediately.
Angelica is next seen being chauffeured to a building where she checks
up on decorating work being carried out by two painters, hiding under
hats made of newspaper (one is a youthful Mike Foster, I suspect the other
is Jolt Walton). Angelica, now in a sexy short red number and black stockings,
climbs a ladder to demonstrate what she wants done, presenting Mike with
a classic view up her skirt. Her attitude is outrageously flirtatious.
Being a broad-minded sort of girl, she lets him slip off her panties and
is soon, delightfully if predictably, down on her knees with a cock in
each hand. Imagine the effects on productivity if this sort of employee
incentive were available! Her lewd oral is probably the highlight, though
seeing her tits swing free from her dress as she's taken from behind rivals
the pleasure. Anal sex is on the cards too, but it all feels a touch rushed
- one guy quickly comes in her ass before she strokes the other off.
After some views of Budapest and a demonstration of the latest mobile
phone technology, the point of which is obscure, Angelica attends another
meeting where three business colleagues put her powers of persuasion to
the test. An extremely young Frank Gun, with hair like a burst mattress,
Jolt Walton, and a third fellow (who never seems to get it up and is therefore
probably quite glad to remain nameless) are the lucky men who find her
main negotiating technique is to get her tits out and have them eat her
pussy. Blowjobs are dished out with her customary combination of ease
and enthusiasm before the sex. Although this is a touch more frantic,
and features more anal sex, it does seem like another fumbled opportunity
by director Clark. Maybe Angelica was too hot to handle, which I could
quite believe, but there's barely enough satisfying action before the
guys come.
Angelica follows this up with a meeting with a couple, a blonde woman
with slightly hard looks and a big hairy guy, both of whose names escape
me. The woman comes on to Angelica and then the mulleted gent joins them
on the bed. He fucks both women before shooting come over their curling
tongues. While it's always pleasant to have a scene seem short because
it's so good, this is simply a rather abrupt affair.
Finally, Angelica attends a party thrown by Christoph's character, leaving
her maid and lover Deborah at home to masturbate in front of the mirror.
Using little rhyme or reason in editing, Deborah's self-love scene is
spliced with the party action, or should that be partouze? Angelica
is seen wriggling around in her superb lingerie and stockings in the most
ridiculously sexy fashion, inspiring Christoph as he receives a blowjob
from his wife. A crafty disguise of moustache and specs doesn't hide Mike
Foster, who's accompanied by a slim, dark haired woman. The group indulge
in the usual sort of combinations but the action is driven along as much
by the rather hasty, almost careless editing, which rarely permits the
chance to linger long on anything. The camera zooms in on a double penetration
on Angelica as if to emphasise the importance of the act, but then it
cuts abruptly to Deborah. Still, the feel is pleasantly hectic and if
ogling Angelica's fantastic form is the object of the exercise then it's
a qualified success. As for the plot, which seems to disappear in the
afterglow, who cares?
Orgasmes Sur Le Danube
The second part of the double bill is a poor relation. Shot on film with
dull picture quality, incongruous editing and clumsy camera moves, Orgasmes'
obscurity is perfectly understandable. One Gloria Leonard is credited;
though whether this is the American star is debatable.
The tale opens with Mark Davis, playing the central character, out riding
in the woods. He happens on a couple having an al fresco sex session.
The woman is a skinny blonde in black stockings. The sex is strictly by
the book and annoyingly blatant in its staging for the camera. They do
put their backs into some robust anal and there's a facial finish.
Mark seems to have gathered a bunch of friends at a mansion purely for
the purposes of staging sex scenes to pad out the miniscule storyline,
which involves much larking around in the woods by the Danube as the group
playfully hunt each other out. That's the idea, which sounds more fun
than the execution in this movie. But before that, Mark gets his own end
away with Erika Bella. The voluptuous Hungarian star does look good all
in black and gives Mark a lascivious blowjob before they repair to the
bedroom to go through the motions in a sex scene where most of the inspiration
comes from admiring Erika's ample form in lingerie and stockings, not
that the indifferent camerawork assists in this. Anal and a thick facial
feature, but you can probably imagine the form.
Out in the woods, the hunt is on. Two scantily clad girls, a blonde and
a brunette, run through the trees where Mike Foster lurks. It looks freezing.
My fatherly advice is that they really should put more clothes on; they'll
catch a death. The blonde sneaks up on Mike and they have sex. The camera
concentrates heavily on her groin area as they go through various positions
up against a tree. Again, it's really very pedestrian.
The girls are then seen running once more as Mark rides in the woods.
Jolt Walton also loiters with intent. Inside a wooden hut (which oddly
seems to have a stone walls on the inside…) the girls get friendly after
we've had an excursion to another sex scene. Back at the mansion, the
guy from the first scene has sex on a bed with an attractive blonde, who
I am guessing is Jacqueline Wild. Her shaven pussy is actually out of
step in this movie where many of the girls sport natural fur. Some of
the close-ups of the girl as she writhes in "ecstasy" are unintentionally
parodic in style, while the guy seems to be pulling random funny faces.
The whole scene almost plays like one of those worthy-but-dull sex education
videos. Inspiration is in short supply but some hearty anal fucking does
feature.
Back to the "hut", where the two women enjoy some all-girl contact. The
sex is quite insipid at first but it does heat up with some fairly genuine
efforts at cunnilingus. In a highly predictable turn of events, Jolt turns
up and joins in. He's having his dick comprehensively sucked by the blonde
when, hey, what do you know? Mark arrives too and has the brunette suck
him. The blonde is thoroughly double penetrated with more unfortunately
laughable close-ups of facial expressions. The other unfortunate factor
is that the light in this location is very poor and makes the picture
extremely grainy. Colours are generally dull anyway, but this is bordering
on the amateurish.
This problem is compounded by the fact that the action continues here.
Erika Bella arrives after both men have ejaculated on the brunette's face.
The others leave Erika and Mark to stage a very similar scene to their
earlier encounter. The positions may be marginally different but
the net result is the same, or, more accurately, slightly poorer as the
gloomy setting detracts from the sex. Erika looks beautiful and her bottom
is soundly plugged but again it's all terribly ordinary. And let's just
not mention the close-ups on Mark. To be fair, I should note that he does
look like a real leading man and even has hair…The movie ends with everyone
celebrating with a glass of champagne while I'm left wondering why Marc
Dorcel should bother to dust off this particular relic. Abysmal music
is the absolute low point.
DVD Comments
The most impressive thing about this disc's features is the Marc Dorcel
"Virtuel 3-D Interactif" menu system, which uses a 3D animation of a cinema
to present the menu options and to introduce the movies. It's easily the
most impressive presentation I've seen on an adult disc, though I wonder
just how user friendly this is compared to standard menus. Anyway, the
extras are not so impressive, though an extensive interview with Laura
Angel (for no apparent reason) is enjoyable. It is all in French however
- she speaks the language pretty well. There are three trailers, a website
advert with those 3D animated condom characters and some contact details.
As I mentioned above, the box cover is particularly naughty with irrelevant
pictures and inaccurate details.
