I had to trot out that apt cliche regarding the demise of quality porn, as this relatively forgotten title displays a high level of achievement not from the Golden Age of theatrical Adult Cinema in the '70s but rather a gem from the oft-criticized VHS '90s era.

No less than Gloria Leonard and Henri Pachard teamed up to create this very clever and incredibly stylish paean to the Undergarment Industry, with a true feel for fetishism provided by Nick Orleans (before he started to repeat himself ad infinitum). It's no coincidence that the movie set in NYC's Garment District in 1961 climaxes with the invention of pantyhose - Nick's favorite fetish.

A top-notch cast play an array of colorful characters, ranging from busty Tiffany Million as lingerie magnate Steve Drake's secretary, who longs to become a model (and does justice to pantyhose in the finale fashion show hosted by guest start Veronica Hart) to top-billed Seka as the house's fashion designer. 

Sex scenes are concise and plentiful, and the talent abounds, with a young Brittany O'Connell, vivacious Ona Zee (as an accountant with unbridled libido) and one of the sexiest babes of that era, Selena Steele.

When it's all over, the corny ploy of listing epitaphs and "what happened to" descriptions across the chest of each cast member defies the norm by actually being creative and funny little pieces of black humor. This is a must-see classic, revived on DVD from the VCA vaults by Larry Flynt's otherwise trashy video company.

Set in the early 1960s, this chronicles the goings-on among the staff and customers of a ladies' underwear company.
