Some really nice scenes in this movie. Taija Rae is gorgous. It takes place in the 30's or something. I love it, I saw it when I was a teen and I inmidiately fell in love with taija rae. I wish I could find this movie somewhere I haven't seen it since it was new. Pornos were better in the 80's. At least if you talk real movie-pornos and not amateur flicks. It's a classic. I think I actually could watch this entire porno without fast forwarding half the movie. That's a very good grade in my book. :)

The same year (1986) that the Rolling Stones issued their hit cover song "Harlem Shuffle" comes this effective porn movie starring Taija Rae as the madam of a Harlem brothel/gambling house.

It concerns an FBI sting operation to bring down gangster Joey Silvera, who is extorting money from Taija as well as the mayor, played by Jesse Eastern. Porn director Paul Vatelli plays the G-man running the sting, and with Taija's cooperation he has hidden hand-cranked silent film cameras installed in the brothel to record Joey's receiving payoffs and having sex as evidence to put him away.

An attractive cast provides the sex action, with an obscure Black actress Crystal Onyx making a strong impression in a couple of sex scenes with her big natural breasts. Other stars include Trinity Loren, humping brothel piano player Billy Dee, plus Angel Kelly and Mauvais DeNoir as fellow prostitutes. Rae's blonde marcelled wig is too obviously fake, but her beauty is not.

One highlight is the inclusion of a 10-minute long vintage silent black & white stag movie titled "A Jazz Jag", complete with intertitles, but it's sabotaged somewhat by Vatelli having obnoxious audience heckling by the brothel viewers on the soundtrack in the manner of MS3TK, a couple of years before that popular series aired.

I was too young in the 80's to have caught any of her act. But, when I first discovered a Taija movie around 10 years ago, I was completely amazed at her facial and physical beauty. Well, I had only recently discovered about this sweet little gem-Doin the Harlem Shuffle.

You see, later on, around like 1988, Taija's body and overall appearance and undergone a drastic change, for the worse. Let's just say that she no longer retained her natural voluptuousness. In this movie however, Taija looks as sweet as ever.

The story..story? Umm, sorta takes place sometime in the 1920's or so, long time ago. The scenes take place inside a whorehouse with both black and white clientèle and hookers. The picture has a soft, "classic" look. By classic, I mean an 80's adult film look.

Taija herself is in two separate scenes. The first one is an interracial scene. She is very hot in both scenes. Scenes of other couples are also mostly interracial and include black man with white woman and white man with black woman. There is also a black woman/woman scene.

Overall great classic 80's adult movie with Taija! If you love an adult actress with natural curves and pretty looks, then Taija is the girl for you.
