I'm a big fan of Jamie Gillis' acting work in porn - the man is a true pimp and cock-smith, and also has the rare talent (amongst porn actors) of actually being a "good" actor who can carry a feature-length porn film on his acting skills. I'm still partial to WATER POWER (my all-time-favorite porn film), and THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS - but THE OPENING OF MISTY BEETHOVEN is another great plot-driven porn film that is equal parts fun, entertaining, and erotic.
Gillis plays Seymour Love, an author of sex books who meets trashy hooker Misty Beethoven at a Paris porn theater. Love decides to "make-over" Beethoven in order to transform her from lowly street-hooker to a "classy" hooker. His goal is to make Misty the next "Golden Rod" girl, which is basically the next "it" girl amongst the sexually discriminating. The film is basically Misty's "training" to become the best cock-sucker in town, and Love's spirited guidance of her...
THE OPENING OF MISTY BEETHOVEN is sort of a cross between ROCKY and PRETTY WOMAN, but with 70s puss-fros and pop-shots. Constance Money as Misty is a joy to behold as she has the cute "girl-next-door" quality that makes her all the more sexy. Gillis as usual is very natural and "charming" in his role, and it is a pleasure to watch a porn star actually turn in a strong acting job. There are also several genuinely funny scenes that make OPENING a truly fun and "light" 70s porn entry. The sex scenes are nothing stellar, which keeps this one from getting a "great" rating from me - but still definitely recommended for Gillis and/or classic porn fans...8/10
