Honors and Awards
VHS Rear Cover Description:
DVD Rear Cover Description:
Annette Haven is Barbara Broadcast, world-famous sex expert. C.J. Laing is a reporter looking for Annette's angle. They meet for an interview at an eatery where sex is the best thing on the menu. They proceed to indulge in an orgiastic seven course sex-feast that has gone down in the annals of blue movie history!
Blu-Ray Rear Cover Description:
In an elegant restaurant where gourmet food and gourmet sex are both on the menu, former high-class prostitute and acclaimed author Barbara Broadcast (played by stunning Annette Haven) transforms lunch with journalist C. J. Laing into an afternoon of sexual excess. Barbara seduces her way through a corporate office and a busy Manhattan night club, while Laing ventures into the kitchen for a smoldering encounter with Wade Nichols that may just be the greatest sex scene ever filmed. Climaxing with the return of Misty Beethoven, Constance Money, and her tormentor, Jamie Gillis. Bon Appetit!

But then you get companies like Distribpix and Vinegar Syndrome, who have managed not only to uncover and restore these (for all intents and purposes) obscure and frowned upon films to their original running times, but cleaned these up to Blu-ray standards and beyond, digging up outtakes, surviving (and willing to participate) stars and ephemera to round out what amounts to a jam packed package for the appreciative consumer.
With far less of a script and much more comedic silliness, the film bears a lightness and airiness far more pronounced than the touches of same enlivening Misty Beethoven. While still foregrounding the aesthetics of location (and featuring some rather attractive young ladies culled from an often catch as catch can industry in that respect), this is hardly Misty part 2, but an entirely different film, likely to find its own unique audience.
A cheesier, peppier music score (Misty was far more dramatic and European by contrast, as much in aesthetic and soundtrack as continent-hopping fact) and a brighter, more pastel-based palette mark Barbara Broadcast as a very different picture than Misty, and the long silences conspicuously absent of dialogue hammer that point home.
You also get a 36 minute collection of outtakes, some radio spots, and the usual posters, photos and sundry bric a brac.
