Mindy Wilson as FLOSSIE: A VENUS OF FIFTEEN is the ultimate Victorian porn heroine in my book. The beautiful Maria Lynn/Marie Forsa is similarly well-cast as Mac Ahlberg's FLOSSIE, a film that only flirts with hardcore -perhaps its main defect.
Maria is perhaps the ultimate embodiment of borderline hardcore action: her films for Joe Sarno are still revered as perhaps the ultimate of representing explicit sex on screen tastefully -without showing penetration. That is the format here -we see massive hard-ons (from hero Jack Frank) and simulated fellatio, but it's strictly softcore.
Story has been updated from 19th Century to contemporary milieu, and follows exactly the same storyline as the VENUS OF FIFTEEN hardcore version. Capt. Jack Archer (Jack Frank) is immediately smitten with Flossie when he meets her and her patroness Eva (Kim Frank), and spends the rest of the film dry humping Lynn, until as a threesome he gets to deflower the young virgin under Eva's scrutiny.
Ahlberg includes many flashbacks, as per the Victorian source novel, showing Flossie's sexual initiation into lesbianism as a school girl. Anita Ericsson is her mate in these segments -and went hardcore quite effectively opposite Lynn in the later film "Molly" as well as a favorite of mine "Girl on Her Knees" (both of these made by FLOSSIE producer Inge Ivarson).
Lynn is so appealing, and the direction expert, that FLOSSIE is continually arousing. Even the requisite orgy scenes are well-done, within the confines of softcore.
It is interesting that all three leading ladies worked with Sarno on various of his Scandi shoots. So this authentically Swedish opus is recommended to the growing Joe Sarno cult for comparative purposes.
