A tennis instructor leads a wealthy but neglected housewife into the
world of prostitution.
(IMDB User Review)
Cutting his teeth trying to break into the movie-making business, Bill
Lustig had performed all kinds of technical duties on adult film sets,
usually for "Uncle" Peter Savage, most notably his notorious 1977
SYBIL send-up SYLVIA. In an attempt to put together his first solo
project, ideally in the horror or similar exploitation territory, he
found his only funding forthcoming from the foolproof fornication film
field. Figuring this offered at least an opportunity to create
something that might pique some more "respectable" producer's interest
for future reference, he set about adapting Luis Bunuel's 1967
art-house classic BELLE DE JOUR to fit the porno market, one year
before the late Gary Graver's ultimate undraped update thereof 'V':
THE HOT ONE with Annette Haven standing in for her "real world"
counterpart Catherine Deneuve.
For his more frugally funded version, dramatically christened THE
VIOLATION OF CLAUDIA, Bill secured the services of a then still up 'n
coming Sharon Mitchell who was to become an industry icon for much
more than her thespian and titillatory talents, co-founding the now
sadly defunct Adult Industry Medical Center screening performers for
HIV prior to shoots. Although still feeling her way as an actress, no
pun intended, Mitch acquits herself adequately as the bored trophy
wife of much older businessman Don Peterson a/k/a "Frank Adams",
Veronica Hart's married lover from Chuck Vincent's 1982 landmark
ROOMMATES. What cannot be argued however is just how spectacular she
looks here, much softer and more feminine than her increasingly butch
appearance once she hit her professional stride by the turn of the
decade.
Whiling away her idle days taking tennis lessons from studly pro Kip
(a purely professional turn by an already stalwart Jamie Gillis),
Claudia's initially turned off when he suggests she joins his stable
of well off wenches turning tricks for a cheap thrill and some
spending cash their husbands never need to know about. One back rub
with unexpected liberties taken later, she warms to the idea however.
Experiencing a newfound carnal confidence, she picks up a hunky high
school kid (one shot Victor Hines) for some fireplace frolicking,
given the full romance treatment by Lustig with sensual slow motion
and soft hazy cinematography courtesy of Robert Lindsay who would wind
up shooting both Bill's breakout blockbuster MANIAC and Doris
Wishman's head-scratching A NIGHT TO DISMEMBER ! Up until this point,
the movie has been top grade couples porn with a proper screenplay and
lofty production values. About halfway through, the limitations of its
$15,000 budget start being felt though. Even a director like Lustig
can only stretch a buck so far. Extensively "auditioned" by fellow
floozy Crystal Sync, unforgettable star of Roberta Findlay's masterful
THE TIFFANY MINX, Claudia finds that her walk on the wild side
ultimately encompasses all of one client, a skittish senator memorably
portrayed by portly character actor "Waldo Short" a/k/a David Lipman
who went on to become a regular on TV's LAW & ORDER. Her next trick,
an outrageous drag queen (one Gandi Sanders) with a penchant for pee
play, sends her scurrying for the exit...and an unpleasant surprise
awaiting her at the homestead.
At little over an hour, CLAUDIA never wears out her welcome but would
clearly have benefited of at least one additional erotic encounter.
Still, what there is proved plenty to pull in the punters at New
York's legendary World Theater. Scoring a sizable surplus on its
modest investment, the movie made sure that Lustig could continue in
cinema, albeit still in the seedy underbelly with his decidedly
underwhelming HOT HONEY, a doing it for dough programmer that never
even tries to rise above its station.
With CLAUDIA on the other hand, Bill seriously sought to create
genuine eroticism, making good on its tag-line of being 'a Hardcore
EMMANUELLE'. The opening fantasy of Claudia spreading out on an ornate
sofa as she's being pleasured by French maids Clea Carson (billed as
"Justine Fletcher") and "Long" Jean Silver illustrates this uppity
approach intended to draw in a better class of porno patron. To this
end, the director also made sure the score didn't scream "cheesy sex
flick" by hiring the talents of underrated Michael Karp who wrote
several well-known TV show theme tunes as well as the music for T&A
dramedy THE YUM YUM GIRLS, notable for featuring an extremely youthful
Tanya Roberts among its lineup of lovelies.
