RIck Blaine was a top porn editor, but had only a handful of opportunities to create Adult features. This is a very ambitious BDSM-subject matter movie, billed as "a love story by Rick Blaine''- definitely something different for the genre. I greatly enjoyed another classic he made for Adam & Eve: "Tatoo", one of the best fictional stories on that topic.
Shanna McCullough stars in "The Hungry Heart", playing a woman scorned who becomes a dominatrix, but not your usual one -she's a domme looking for love! Most of the movie is told from her point-of-view: we witness in flashback the key trauma that changed her life: she caught her husband Mickey G. Being a sex slave to Missy -who pegged him, not the usual content for an Adult Movie. Then we see her helping various couples, ranging from Alex Sanders & Sid Deuce to Tom Byron and Lovette, to experience BDSM lite, intensifying their romantic relationships. Ultimately she finds true love with her pool guy, Mark Davis (how sweet and porno-corny).
Despite its unusual nature and interesting content, "The Hungry Heart" was missing from IMDb for 28 years, until I added it this afternoon.
