Two-Way Mirror (Cal Vista) Review

Two Way Mirror

Studio: VCX (Cal Vista)

Stars: Minnie Clayton, Blair Jefferson, Shira Goodlow, Candace Lipton

Running time: 1 hour 24 minutes (feature); 42 minutes (extras)

Another shower from the golden age, or was 1985 the silver age? Doesn't matter--this is a euro-porn, I'm not sure where it's from, that was badly dubbed into English, but much of that is lost underneath the crap music soundtrack. Since I find most porn acting to be painful to listen to anyway, I have no idea what the story is.

As with most films of this era, the emphasis is heavily on blow-jobs, so if you like watching cocks get sucked, you get plenty of it. There's also a fair amount of vanilla sex, like a straight-missionary scene, that you don't see much of these days, along with goofy positions (guy doing a girl from the rear, while another girl sits lightly on her back as if she were a horse). Also fitting for the period--all natural (and all small) breasts, so if you're a boob-hound, there's nothing much to see here.

There is one lesbian scene, but everything else is mainly MF or MMF (but no gay/bi action).

Special features: a disappointing Photo Gallery, four bonus scenes from titles completely unrelated to this one (and I'd seen them all on another VCX DVD), trailers for four other titles in the VCX catalog, yet another ad for another compilation, and the "legendary tribute" which is 4-1/2 minutes of complete crap.

Production values: are middling. It's probably been transferred from videotape, but either way the quality is so-so. You can't expect modern quality from something filmed 30 years ago, but it's easy to be spoiled and forget it anyway. There are an acceptable number of chapters but they only go to scene beginnings. Because the feature is only 84 minutes, the four bonus scenes pad things out a bit but none of them are anything special.

Final verdict: it is what it is--an obscure english-language (i.e. dubbed) feature from Europe circa 1985, starring nobody you ever heard of. The actresses have natural (and small) boobs (which is fine if you like 'em that way), the sex is pretty vanilla, but with an emphasis on fellatio, you get the crap music soundtrack, and a collection of extras (four scenes and a bunch of trailers) of dubious value. I'd recommend it only if you're already aware of the title and want it, or you recognize one of the performers. Otherwise, it's just not worth the time.
