The Spa

The "all access" BTS short subject on the subsequent DVD issue of this Wicked VHS release shows veteran director Bob Chinn serious at work directing his cast in how to bring out the comedic elements of this light tale of antics at Sophie's Place, a beauty parlor where sexual antics go on nearly non-stop.

Stephanie Swift stars and has two sex scenes, as a customer humping first parking valet Erik Everhard (in lieu of paying an old bill) and then Devin Wolf, who has fun playing a stylist named Renaldo Montenegro, with a thick accent laid on. Running gag is how Steph is two-timing, actually three-timing her husband.

Fine femme supporting cast includes a couple of other Wicked superstars: Temptress and Devinn Lane, as well as busty Tina Cheri and climaxes with a pair of corn-rowed hairdo receptionists (Regan Starr and Alexxxis Tyler) servicing Dale DaBone, playing straight a florist named Iris.

It's directed by Chinn in Old School fashion, with sex scenes frequently intercut with each other, a practice largely abandoned in porn decades ago in favor of consecutive overlong "uncut" styled vignettes. Note the economical running time of 76 minutes encompassing five XXX scenes, which would normally run at least twice that length nowadays.

End cast credits have many mistakes: character names for Billy Glide and Erik Everhard are reversed: Erik plays Charles and Billy is named Peter R. Johnson; Regan Starr is verbally referred to as both Vicki and Patty -more frequently Patty; and many other characters have last names left off the screen credits, e.g., Swift plays Celia Webster, Devinn Lane plays Maggie Haynes; Wolf plays Renaldo Montenegro; Temptress plays Gwendolyn Stevens.
