Wild Dallas Honey

This adult melodrama stars Honey Wilder who's past has her question her life as her first husband comes out of prison and she's since married into comfort, not to mention her best friend played by Sharon Mitchell that's struggling in an abusive relationship. It's a plot first porno where the sex is part of the story and the actors pull it off wonderfully. I'd rate it higher but it's a bit too soapy for my personal taste, but hats off to everyone for making a proper drama with some novel sex scenes laced through it that enhance the story.

Wild Dallas Honey is a steamy, southern-fried melodrama that brings a generous dash of spice to the soap opera formula. With talented performers and a twist-filled plot, it's an entertaining, if overlong, ride through the passions and perils of its characters.

The film opens with a bang as Honey Wilder's former flame, Randy West, is released from prison, setting the stage for a tale of tangled relationships and hidden desires. Wilder, married to the unsympathetic Eric Edwards, finds comfort in the arms of her lesbian friend, played by Sharon Mitchell. Mitchell's performance as Wilder's supportive confidant is a standout, and their relationship adds a layer of complexity to the story.

Clocking in at 93 minutes, it feels overly long, and the plot twists sometimes feel contrived. Tigr, who guest stars as a country singer, delivers her lines oddly, breaking the immersion. Despite these flaws, the film is a showcase for Wilder, who captivates with her presence and goes on to star in the classic TABOO II.

Overall, Wild Dallas Honey is a well-acted, ambitious adult drama. While it may be a bit too soapy and schmaltzy for some, it effectively blends sex and story. This film is a steamy treat for fans of classic adult cinema.

Pornography and daytime soap operas have a lot in common in terms of subject matter -and WILD DALLAS HONEY exploits that fact. Talented screenwriter Jeffrey Fairbanks (who wrote several classics for Bob Chinn) takes the director's chair successfully.

Story revolves around Honey Wilder and her unsympathetic hubby Eric Edwards (wearing a mustache this time out). Wilder's carrying a torch for her previous beau Randy West, seen just getting out of prison in the opening scene.

Along the way, before a happy ending that sorts out all the melodrama, Wilder is comforted by her lesbian gal pal, well-played by Sharon Mitchell. Edwards' first wife Shana shows up, a scene-stealing Anna Ventura, billed here early in her career as "Jasmine DuBois". Brooke West also makes a strong impression paired with Randy West.

Tigr guest stars as a country singer at the local Water Wheel honky-tonk, and is alluring but oddly recites her lines as if by rote in an otherwise quite well-acted movie.

The twists and turns of the plot make for an overlong (93 minutes on DVD) opus, and the corniness of it all was a big drawback for me. But it is an important showcase at the outset of her career for Honey Wilder, poised to star as an iconic MILF in the all-time classic TABOO II, re-teamed with Edwards.
