Porn Valley- With enough peppy show tunes to satisfy those of the young and curious persuasion, Bill Osco's porno musical Alice in Wonderland pretty much holds true to the Lewis Carroll classic. Depending, of course, if you remember the Lewis Carroll version to feature solo masturbation and couples humping randomly in the woods.
Because of its unavailability for so long, porn fans have had their distinct recollections of what Alice in Wonderland was or wasn't. But now because it's available for the first time on DVD through Arrow Pictures, www.xxxdeepthroat.com at least one memory cuts through the fog and haze of the mind's tendency to play tricks - the fact that Kristine DeBell as Alice is one adorable piece of ass.
So much so that DeBell probably still holds the distinction of having been in more mainstream movies and TV than any actress who has spread her charms on XXX celluloid. Originally a Ford Model, DeBell, besides having also posed in Playboy, went on to do BJ & the Bear, appeared in Meatballs with Bill Murray and was also seen on Night Court and The Young and the Restless. But I remember her particularly for a lesbian bathtub grope in the very sleazy T&A- driven Cheerleaders Wild Weekend a flick which comes almost as highly recommended as Alice but for different reasons.
Valid or otherwise entertainment credentials notwithstanding, if someone like DeBell were to walk into a porn company today, you can bet the Barnums of Bang would be all over her like Jet Li on a rice bowl. With pert nose, suck your cock lips and an adorable face that would require an age card just in order to get an age card, seeing DeBell naked with her school girl boobies is practically commensurate with doing hard time. And that's what makes this film the remarkably sinful pleasure that it is.
But don't kid yourself, either. For a film that runs under 70 minutes but splurges on costuming and story telling Alice is not that big of a deal as XXX filmmaking goes. [It was originally shot for an R with hardcore added later which probably explains it.]
Still and all, it features enough sex with curly haired women and tufted disco muff to satisfy the raincoat urges. Though the inclination, overall, seems to have been to get librarian DeBell out of her clothes almost under any pretext whether to diddle with herself, buck bathe, give a blowjob or finally rid herself of those pesky "I'm not that kind of girl" hang ups that have plagued her and her boyfriend [Ron Nelson].
Once Alice's sexual awakening transpires in Wonderland - all of which is tantamount to an exhaustive burlesque routine with groaning board puns to match about the king's ball and the Queen's box- you'll actually be thankful that her chastity wasn't a belabored bargaining stint to acquire the house and the white picket fence.
Mainstream director Bud Townsend, father of actress Patricia Townsend, directed both the soft and hardcore versions of Alice in Wonderland.
