Back in 2007, mere months after I started working at HM4Her, I sat down to review The Opening Of Misty Beethoven. Being such a novice to the world of smutty reviews, and classics like this at all really, I only pumped out a quick paragraph and a half about this super popular and influential film. Oy! What was I thinking? I guess at that time, that is how we were doing things.
Anyway, last week we were lucky enough to get a beautiful new box set full to the hilt with all things Misty Beethoven. Not only did we receive a gorgeously re-mastered edition of The Opening Of Misty Beethoven, the box includes a whole host of extras, like a behind the scenes video, outtakes, the last interview with star Jamie Gillis and more. Seriously – it’s an awesome set! Acquiring the new re-master, coupled with the dinky review from years ago, I decided that it was high time to give old Misty B. another go-round and hunker down to really review this puppy like it should be reviewed!
Pygmalion done porno style, this rags-to-riches story follows sexologist Dr. Seymour Love (Jamie Gillis) on his quest to transform low-class sex worker Misty Beethoven (Constance Money) into the world’s greatest lover. Picking her up in a French porno theater, the pair travel back to the states to begin their erotic training adventure. They want her to be the most exciting new girl of the season, otherwise known as “The Goldenrod Girl.”
After the most amazingly pervy airline takes them back to New York (can you say sex section!), we get an awesome montage of Misty’s hands-on education. While working on the street, Misty refused to give blowjobs and have sex in her butt, so those are two of the main focuses, taught with lots of dildos getting sucked and so much cum on her face.
I think one of my favorite things about this film is all of the random people having sex all over the place in the backgrounds of the shots. They are never really explained or referenced, so it seems they are just there to add a little extra dirty dimension to the visuals, which they definitely succeed in doing. Like in so many scenes there are maids and butlers fucking all over the house. It’s kind of amazing. I also love that there are so many times that the good Dr. Love is right in her face, showing Misty exactly how to suck a cock just right, or swallow. What a hands-on instructor! Check out this educational montage.
After an evening of fucking in the bathroom at the ballet, rumors begin to surface about Misty, turning her into an international woman of mystery overnight. Everybody wants to know who exactly is Misty Beethoven. She even seduces a gay man, which was pretty risqué in the ‘70s, when this movie was made. They know she is ready for the big leagues when she can make three men cum at once.
At the climax (pun totally intended), Misty fucks famed publisher Lawrence Layman and becomes the much coveted Goldenrod Girl, which inspires her to leave Dr. Love, a teacher that is belittling and condescending towards her. Love only realizes how much he cares for Misty after she leaves. But it doesn’t take long for her to find her way back and give him the fuck of his life. All’s well that ends well…
While the story is fantastic and Constance Money is a great lead, the real gem of this movie is Jamie Gillis. Charming, sexy and a fantastic actor, it’s no surprise that Gillis was as popular as he was in his heyday. I’m actually a little shocked that he wasn’t a big mainstream star as well. He really was the perfect man for this part.
To sum it all up – if you watch one classic porno, this is the one to pick – especially with all the added extras!
Watch “The Opening Of Misty Beethoven” Now!
