"The Story of Joanna" from 1975 has the most highly developed storyline of any porn film I have seen. I don't want to give to much of it away, but it involves Jamie Gillis being a millionaire who picks up this woman and sets about degrading her for a special purpose he has for her later in the movie. The degredation of her though is very central to the plot of the movie and after what I had read of how this was one of the rougher movies of the 70's I was surprised by how tame it was.

The acting in this movie is top notch, I have not seen a porn film with acting equal to this one. The music is excellent and the sets are beautiful.

The audio and video on the dvd for this movie are not that good though, about equal to some of the classics VCX puts out on dvd. The audio is not good and has a tinny sound, but it is understandable throughout and that is the main thing.

Terri Hall who plays Joanna is very cute and has an innocent look about her, but we soon find out she is anything but. She engages in sex with 3 men at once, with a DP. In another scene she sucks 3 men off in a row. She has a hot lesbian scene with Juliet Graham. She also has her pussy shaved.

If your looking for a porn movie with a story then you absolutely must see this movie as you are not likely to find one with better acting. The sex in this movie was pretty good, not as good as in some of the other classics, but the story and acting are so superior in this movie that it lifts this movie actually above those other movies.

Anyone acustomed to gonzo type movies would probably not like this film, the sex scenes are in general short, and not as explicit as gonzo films.

In short the best adult film I've seen so far!
