After losing her job and being disowned by her mother, Lilly sets out to find her father in New York City, and she finds plenty of sex along the way.

Silly comedy adds an innocent touch to a dirty movie

Beth Anna stars as a ditsy young woman who finds herself in all sorts of wacky situations in this lighthearted comedy from the Golden Age of Hardcore Pornography. Like many comic adult films of the time, the comedy is very silly and surprisingly innocent. When Lily finds herself acting in a X-rated movie, for example, she keeps messing up her one line of dialog over and over. The cult of Satanists she encounters aren&#39;t anything threatening out of a horror movie, but are goofy guys played strictly for laughs. Of course, the film also contains a great deal of intense sex scenes. The balance between this raunchy material and the playfulness of the comedy is something to admire for fans of this genre.

Dirty Lily

The movie begins with Lilly in character (played by Bethanna) describing to viewers that what they are about to see is a movie about her life and dispels the credits verbally, naming some of the actors and actresses that will appear along with some of the crew members, including the costume designer and director among others. The story begins with innocent and ditsy Lilly working as a secretary for businessman Mr. Big (played by Marlow Ferguson), presumably out of his home. When the police are about to descend on him because of some shady business practices, he flees, leaving Lilly without a job. When she returns home, she finds her mother (played by Molly Malone) having a seance of sorts and learns from beyond that her sweet daughter is to become a harlot. Hearing this, she kicks Lilly out of the house and instructs her to live with her deadbeat father. Her search for Raymond Wallbanger takes her to New York City where she traces down her father&#39;s past friends and associates from lawyer Mr. Shyster (played by Eric Edwards), to a blue movie film director (played by Kurt Mann) to a former lover (played by C.J. Laing), to a business associate (played by Roger Caine), to a group of Satan worshipers (led by W.P. Dremak). Of course, each of these meetings includes a sexual encounter of some sort. Finally, she gets her father&#39;s current address which is actually back in her hometown where she started. And to her surprise, her father is actually... The story was pretty basic and could have benefited from the inclusion of a sub-plot, perhaps an antagonist trying to prevent Lilly from achieving her goal. Story Grade: B. This movie was shot on film. Medium Grade: A. Actual locations were used in this production. There were also numerous outdoor scenes with Lilly walking along the sidewalks of New York City. Set Design Grade: A. The sexual performances were energetic and the performers seemed genuinely enthusiastic. Sexual Performances Grade: A. The comedy was played by all of the characters very well, although some may have been over the top. Kurt Mann&#39;s performance as the film director was hysterical, and those scenes may have been the funniest in the film. Dialogue was delivered with conviction. Eric Edwards did a great tumble in his scene. Acting Grade: A-. Costumes and make-up were appropriate for the characters. Wardrobe/Make-up Grade: A. Some of the scenes may have been a little dark, but it played into the reality of the setting, such as the candlelit bedroom scene with Bethanna and C.J. Laing. Lighting Grade: B+. Classical music selections formed a portion of the film&#39;s score. The sound quality was good and consistent throughout. Sound Grade: A. The film was well-shot and well-edited. Directing Grade: A. Given the use of actual locations and a stable of fine actors, there was clearly an effort to make a good movie. The scene with the Satan worshipers may have been the most artfully done. Artistic Merit Grade: A. OVERALL GRADE: A-.
