Hard to follow thanks to its surviving in a truncated video version. MS. WOMAN OF THE YEAR is story porn with too much story. The sex footage is okay, but the contrived storyline was probably almost as dumb in complete form as in the fragmentary version.

Convoluted structure has many flashbacks, limning the sexual abuse of young Ali by her creepy uncle. She later grows up to become a schemer and double-dealer, who blackmails a couple of ad execs (Jeffrey Hurst and partner) to take over their agency and eventually be named, you guessed it, Woman of the Year.

Along the way she has a lesbian affair with pal Carol Dolan (Helen Madigan, an important porn star throughout the '70s). Director Richard Mailer also throws in some mixed combo action and a pointless anal rape scene of Hurst with a prostitute, but nothing adds up to much.

Uncle is drowning his sorrows guiltily in a bar. In the flashback he not only raped Ali but gave the girl a Golden Shower, but that footage is omitted from the print, only evident when he verbally threatens to give her another one.

Hurst is seen with fake-greyed-up temples in and out of a wheelchair (he gets out of it to hump, confusingly) lamenting the loss of Ali, but since the film ends just at the beginning of a lesbian scene as Ali straps on a dildo to service Madigan, we never find out what happened to her in this partial print, issued on Vol. 136 of Something Weird's Dragon Art Theater series.

The idiot shill named Mike who writes the Something Weird promos completely garbles the plot synopsis, omitting the incest angle entirely, and conveniently fails to warn the consumer that a couple of reels are missing. Caveat emptor, baby.
