The Dyke and the Pornostar

This is a very short film with a lesbian theme, which has aired in the UK on Channel 4's "Dyke TV" late at night and is now part of the "Teaser" collection of short lesbian films available on DVD. IMDb's listed title for this feature is "The Dyke and the Pornostar" which having watched the film, is I think a name which makes little sense but is presumably how it is known internationally; the film's native and original UK title of "Double Entente" would appear to fit its understated style somewhat better.

Made in 1994, clearly on a tight budget, this film is starting in terms of its style and visuals to look somewhat dated. Although the soundtrack is good, the director chooses to have what seems to be the same track play throughout the eleven minutes of this feature. Nevertheless, despite the low-key production values, this is an entertaining and ultimately upbeat story and worth a look.

There seems to be some error here. The Dyke and the Pornstar was a two-hander play by Bayla Travis that probably didn't make the transition into film but is seen on tour around the world from time to time. This is exactly what it sounds like - what happens when a pornstar meets a besotted female fan. Double Entente however is about a businesswoman whose drink date with her lover is unexpectedly cancelled, but who decides to go to the bar anyway, where she's soon picked up by a sexy butch. They leave for a steamy encounter, with a fun twist at the end. The short has at least two versions, one of which is slightly more raunchy, and is available on a DVD called Watching You: Intriguing Lesbian Short Films. An example of a good erotic short.

The Dyke and the Pornstar, aside from having a great story, also has great music. While I could give you all the details of the film, I would rather not ruin it, but suffice it to say that it turns out to surprise the viewer. A tale of (sexual) fantasy and role-play
