From RAME:
This is viewed by the experts as the first feature-length hardcore film with a plot. Ziehm also made movies using the alias "Linus Gator" (e.g. Star Virgin and Naughty Network). Perhaps his most famous film is Flesh Gordon.
From Jim Holliday (Only The Best, Cal Vista, 1986, page 14)
This is the film that will always be regarded as the first classic from the explicit film era. Unlike the variious documentary type sex-explorations, MONA offers a full-blown plot centering on Fieda "Fifi" Watson as a virgin with an interest in oral sex - her father (face never shown) taught her to have "a taste for these things".
The film has no wet shots, but does offer penetration in an era known for inserts. There is the gynecological close-up coverage common to most pioneer efforts, but if you actually study Osco and Ziehm's work, you will notice some tru professionalism in the filmmaking style. Innovating lighting and camera angles missing in the standard grinders are in full evidence here. It is important to remember that when MONA was made, there was virtually nothing to compare it to, which makes the innovations that much more noteworthy.
Judy Angel play's Mona's mom and Susan Stewart is the Hooker. I have checked with just about everybody who might know and they all draw a blank remembering who played the boyfriend or the stranger on the street. Chalk the guys up to forgotten studs in a significant milestone film. MONA is available on tape but it is extremely hard to locate and has become a collector's treasure, truly deserving of its historical status.
