In a Paris porn cinema, sex expert Doctor Seymour Love (Jamie Gillis)
finds a very ordinary prostitute, Misty Beethoven (Constance Money), and
rather on a whim, he decides to take her under his and his partner's - the
prostitute Geraldine Rich (Jacqueline Beudant) - wing and turn her into a
high class slut - and thanks to Seymour's and Geraldine's tutoring, Misty
is soon able to turn a homosexual (Calvin Culver) straight and in a huge
crowd of young and willing girls attract the attention of director Layman
(Ras Kean).
But rather surprisingly, Misty has a personality of her own, and she
soon enough refuses to take any more of the abuse of Doctor Love, who
thinks of her as nothing but his creation and quite often blatantly
insults her, and she leaves with Layman ... or so she says, because in the
end, she's back and shows doctor Love how to really make love - not
mechanic sex.
A classic of (hardcore) porn cinema, but is it all that good ?
It's hard to say really, compared to other porn movies from the
mid-1970's, The Opening of Misty Beethoven is a bit of a triumph,
it's got a thought through story, fleshed out characters and character
development, some scenes that clearly classify as satire and some witty
dialogue. However, compared to other erotic (not necessarily porn) films
from the period, including some of director Radley Metzger's own like The
Image, The Opening of Misty Beethoven seriously lacks depth
... but of course, at least it has hardcore sex (provided this is your
thing), probably more blowjobs than most other porn movies, and lead
actress Constance Money is seriously cute - and at least for a dirty old
man like me, all of this is better than nothing ...
