  • Married Woman Plus The Lost Films Of Justina Lynne



    Released by: Alpha Blue Archives
    Released on: December, 2014.
    Director: Bob Chinn
    Cast: Justina Lynne, Spring Finlay, Desiree West, Joan Devlon, Valerie Franklin
    Year: 1977

    The Movie:

    Bob Chinn's 1977 sixty-minute picture The Married Woman (also known as My Wife, The Hooker), tells the story of a woman named Stephanie (raven haired beauty Justina Lynne) and her husband Al (Turk Lyon), married five years. Their marriage is on the rocks, they're not screwing anymore an Al seems to have lost his mojo. But Stephanie? She's become more aggressive lately. We see this when she takes his dong out and goes to town.

    Once they finish up, we see how one of her favorite fantasies is about to come true as she enters what the narrator tells us is a 'house of prostitution.' She talks to the madam (a super cute curly haired Josie Farmer who makes really awesome sex noises), tells her that she got her card from Tony, that she wants to do this because she's bored, unhappy in her marriage and needs the money. The woman in charge has her stand up and show off the goods and then, before you know it, they're having rad lesbian sex. Of course, it's Stephanie's first time with another woman and she proves to be such a natural that she gets the job.

    Meanwhile, Al is out on an adventure of his own involving Ginger (Spring Finlay), his foxy red-headed next door neighbor. He watches her do the double digit deep dive, solo style, before she busts out a can of hairspray or something (it's L'Oreal branded at the very least!) and goes to town with that. She finishes up and he comes into the room, they share a smoke and make some inane small talk. He wants to sit down but she's not so sure, what if his wife walks in? Nah, she's out looking for work and Al, according to Ginger, has got it made! He offers to bone her - after all she did just fuck a L'Oreal hairspray can - and after they ash their butts he busts a nut. She responds in kind and they go at it.

    With Stephanie now a full-fledged hooker, she gets a shot at her first client, a mustachioed insurance salesman named Harvey. He's nervous but she soon has him calm, cool and ready for boning. He fondles her knockers, she goes down and he returns the favor - the wood paneling is obviously a big turn on for them and hey, weird surf guitar music in the background? Rad. While that's going on, Al finds a business card (Stephanie used it as a bookmark - good job!) for the whorehouse and starts to put two and two together. He wanders over there to see what his horny wife has been up to all day and upon his arrival is greeted by a foxy working girl named Toni (Toni Scott). He just sort of wanders into a room and finds her there, lying on a bed. He learns that Stephanie worked here today, in the very room he's now in! He laments her decision briefly and then, after pontificating about what went wrong, proceeds to give his new friend a right royal banging up her bum hole!

    After that, Al heads back home and find his wife there. She's been working all day and earning some money while he's been doing the same thing and come home penniless. He bitches her out, unhappy about her newfound profession, but since he won't get off his ass and earn his own keep (hey, there's a recession going on he tells her!) she doesn't want to hear it. They fight, then they fuck, and then the movie ends. Stephanie's turning tricks has somehow replaced what was missing in their marriage?

    The narration here is pretty wonky but definitely amusing. Done in a very dry and serious style, it sets up each scene and provides context where the dialogue and direction does not. Chinn has made some genuinely funny, original and engaging films within the realm of adult cinema but this one doesn't rank up there with his best. It's amusing enough to be sure and the sex is well shot and performed with what would seem to be genuine enthusiasm from all involved, it's just not as original or as entertaining as some of his better movies.

    Having said that, Justina Lynne is pretty foxy here. She's curvy, with a delightfully chubby bum, and would seem to know what she's doing. Lots of energy and enthusiasm without overdoing it, always a good thing. Throw Josie Farmer and ultra-foxy Spring Finlay into the mix alongside Toni Scott? Yeah, the ladies in front of the camera definitely do make this worth a watch. “All's well that ends well” the narrator tells us! And then we finish with a quick 'fantasy' of Stephanie's in which some dude pisses all over her and into her mouth!

    Video/Audio/Extras:

    The Married Woman arrives on DVD in its original 1.33.1 fullframe aspect ratio. It does look to have been sourced from a print but it's a pretty raggedy looking one, at least to start. Print damage is a constant, worse in the first minute than the rest of the movie as thankfully the more we get into this the cleaner it gets. There are plenty of scratches and what not, but the colors do look pretty good and the movie more than watchable here even if it's pretty obvious that no restoration or cleanup was done to the elements.

    The only audio option for the feature attraction is an English language Dolby Digital Mono track. There's some hiss here and there and some weird aberrations in the pitch and tone in the background of the movie but for the most part the dialogue comes through okay.

    Extras start off with the first bonus film, a picture made in 1975 called Count The Ways by director Ann Perry. When it begins there's a text screen that reads “To deny the social redeeming significance of this film is to deny the literary values of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, William Shakespeare, Lord Byron, William Wordsworth and other great poets who made this film possible.” Cue the opening credits - this is a Super Bitch Production! A guy with weird hair reads poetry at a podium - he's a teacher named Alan Byron (Tyler Reynolds) and his class doesn't really seem that attentive. The class ends and Alan takes off with his fiancé, Cybil (Beth Ruberman) the daughter of the dean. They head back to his place and boff.

    The next day, he reads more poetry to his class. From there he loads a bunch of people get into an RV and hit the road for ski trip. John (Joey Silvera) makes it with Chris (Justina Lynn) in the back while the others play around in the front. After that? Lots of footage of the RV driving through the hills of what looks like Northern California. It's scenic, if not particularly exciting. They arrive at a chalet of sorts, mosey on into the place and after that, they hit the slopes. One of the girls, Elizabeth (Mimi Zuber), hurts her leg to Alan brings her back to the house and they talk about his problems with Cybil, who tends to hold her father's position over his head. Soon enough, they start making out but as bad as he wants her he lets her know that they have to be careful, he could lose his job.

    In the other room, John drinks wine and plays guitar. The others join him, they roast some marshmallows on the fire and after that, they retire for the evening. John bones Chris again (who leaves her cute knee high ski socks on) and a guy named Roger (Paul Scharf) gets it on with Kit (sexy soul sister Desiree West). The next morning they head back home. Alan calls Elizabeth to tell her what a great time he had and invites her to go back to the chalet, just the two of them. She's down with the idea and promises to not 'tell a soul' and then we cut to Kit screwing a guy named Jake (Dashile Miguele) in the bathtub. They finish and Elizabeth calls Kit to tell her about her fling with Mr. Byron - so much for keeping her mouth shut!

    Elizabeth and Alan wind up back at the chalet, have a charming snowball fight, and then get naked - that looks kind of chilly, doing it right there on the snow, but they go at it regardless. And Jake? Why, he makes a phone call and rats Byron out. Will his romantic weekend away screwing one of his students cost him his job? We'll find out but not before he bones her again on a bear skin rug in front of the fireplace. He comes home from the trip away and finds Cybil waiting for him on the steps. She knows what he's up to, thanks to that anonymous call. She wants him to prove he loves her but he's too tired. Then Jake calls Elizabeth and threatens to turn him into the dean unless she gives him 'that tight box of yours.' Then Jake goes straight to Byron himself and says he knows all about him, that he'd better get an A on his exam or else. Byron tells him 'shove off, shit ass' which is a great come back. Meanwhile Elizabeth wanders around in the snow and remembers her sweet lovemaking with Alan and imagines him reading poetry to her… will they ever be together, free of the problems the world keeps throwing at them?

    This one is boring and pretentious but it has its moments. A good cast helps but its' slow, the poetry is goofy and out of place and the plot fairly dry. The transfer is tape sourced and the audio is lousy, which doesn't help things much. An interesting curio, but hardly an unforgettable classic.

    The disc includes a second bonus film, 1975's Melanie's Hotline credited to director Maurice Delarue. When it begins, Melanie (Justina Lynn) and her boyfriend are watching TV. They hear about an obscene phone call on the news and then they talk about how some people get off on talking dirty to a stranger. He tells her not to knock it until she tries it and they decide to give it a shot. Melanie decides she'll make the first phone call and she dials up a stranger, introduces herself as Big Mama and invites the person on the other end to come on over and suck her tits. That's more or less it. She found this a turn on and so they decide to try it again, and again, and again. Eventually she gets a woman named Jill (Joan Devlon) on the line as she's being nailed by a stud Bob (Harold Black) with 'the biggest cock in town.' They finish up and she gets back on the phone for some dirty talk, and Jill talks Melanie into screwing her boyfriend while she listens. Jill directs them while her man gets ready for round two. Jill and decides she and Bob should come over and join the two of them for some fun, and since Melanie's parents aren't home, she says sure! Bob figures his pal The Whip (Pharoah Amos) might want to join them.

    Wait, this dude is named The Whip? Yes he is, and we cut to his basement where he's got Katrina (Valerie Franklin) bound on a dirty mattress threatening to split her wide open. She tells him he's going to have to fight her every inch of the way and he chains her to the ceiling, strips her, whips her and bones her. After that he takes a phone call from Jill and accepts her invitation to the party - he likes'em young, he says, and he agrees to bring Katrina along.

    A short time later everyone shows up at Melanie's place. They chat among themselves a bit and then Jill suggests Melanie try making it with a woman. All three of the ladies go at it and then they split into groups. Melanie screws The Whip, Jill screws Melanie's boyfriend and then Katrina screws Bob and then it all turns into a bit of an orgy wit h a lot of whipped crí¨me in it. When it's all over with, Melanie and her boyfriend agree to start making a lot more phone calls from now on! This one is fast paced and although it's light on plot it's amusing enough. Getting Lynn and Devlon in the same movie is definitely a good thing and throwing Valerie Franklin into the mix doesn't hurt things either. This one is also tape sourced with plenty of hiss on the audio. It's got a cool sax-heavy jazzy soundtrack that works in its favor as well.

    Outside of that we get a promo spot for the Alpha Blue Archives Retro Starlets line, static menus and feature selection.

    The Final Word:

    The Married Woman Plus The Lost Films Of Justina Lynne is a decent enough triple feature. The first film is the best of the three even if it's not up to Bob Chinn's typically high standards, while Count The Ways is a bit of a dud if at least interesting as a curio. Melanie's Hot Line is fairly plot-less but it's got a good cast. Lynne fans should definitely appreciate this collection.
