Though Porsche Lynn's loveliness stands out, writer-turned director Patti Rhodes overdoes the old-fashioned boulevard romance in this transatlantic porn feature.

It was produced by Dino Ferrara, who during the 1980s specialized in marrying American with Continental talent in these shot-in-Europe movies aiming at corraling an international audience.

This one also suffers from an insufferable lead performance by Paul Thomas playing a penniless French nobleman who is assigned to chaperone Porsche as Mimi, a teen visiting Paris. Mimi's mom back in America is friends with Paulette, who runs a very high-class bordello in the CIty of Lights, and is well-played in NonSex fashion by Lisa Berenger (an actress good enough to have played mainstream movie roles).

Mimi's life in Paris is the jumping off point for a number of scenes spotlighting solid Euro talent, including lovely Marilyn Jess as Paulette's maid, and the ubiquitous French Adult movies actor Gabriel Pontello as a wealthy Frenchman who is smitten with Mimi, but only wants her as a mistress, as he's already happily hitched.

There's a certain charm to the fey and oh-so civilized performances here, but PT's phony French-accent and exaggerated acting prove to be embarrassing. It's a shame that he and auteur Patti messed up, as Porsche was never lovelier.

The romance genre features the theme of romantic relationships and emotional connections between characters. These stories focus on the development of love, desire, and intimacy between protagonists, often exploring the challenges, conflicts, and triumphs that arise in their relationships.
