A reminder of Playboy's age, 'Playmates Revisited' showcases former ladies in a novel concept. Seeing their original material from long ago followed by modern interviews & new scenes done in 1998. That's the format serving as a reminder of the past when it came to how nudity was presented and a treat for vintage Playboy fans.

Kathy Shower - May 1985, PMotY 1986 - starts with old material of her in a hot tub (so minimal nudity) followed by a lengthy interview which showcases vintage footage of Hef, the Playboy mansion and her pictorial which is a reoccurring theme. Finally in new footage, she's naked in a bedroom surrounded by flowers or as pedals rain down on her. Many tracking shots over her nude body (11.5 mins). Cathy St. George - Aug 1982 - gets naked in an overgrown field. Then her interview, pictorial & more lite vintage material. In her new scene, she strips from a fur coat and poses on various furniture which doesn't shy away from plenty of closeups (8 mins).

India Allen - Playmate Dec 1987, PMotY 1988 - shows a bunch more nudity in her old material as she's naked on a bed. Her interview about her b-movie career is interesting. An enjoyment of cigars loosely leads to a new scene where she strips in a luxury bedroom looking fantastic as the camera continues providing great closeups. This was my favorite scene of the entire video. What a stunner (11 mins). Susie Scott - May 1983 - is naked on the floor in front of a lit fireplace that provides constant nudity as she poses. Her interview focuses on her legit charity work and it's clear she has a good heart. New material doesn't run long, but she's shown in a heavy white cloth & breeze theme and more close-ups which is never a bad thing (8.5 mins).

Ava Fabian - Aug 1986 - does a musical strip which going by the narrator was cutting edge for it's day. Her interview talks about being a co-owner in a restaurant. New scene has her pose behind, in front of a metal fence on a set as a strobe light simulates lightening and rain comes down getting her wet. Her hands all over her body as more satisfying closeups continue (9 mins). Cynthia Brimhall - Oct 1985 - sees her old stuff show her off completely naked in the desert. In the interview, she's honest about the difficulty she found in posing nude and enjoyable participation in those Andy Sidaris Babes & Bullets flicks. For the new, Cynthia finds herself in a boy/girl in bed with a lover. It gets off to a slow start, but gets better as the closeups roll out. She appears completely shaved & her boobs are much bigger in the present (9.5 mins).

Barbara Edwards - Sept 1983, PMotY 1984 - sees her in older quality footage in a bunk bed naked from the start except for black stockings. A very risqué shot of her with legs spread for it's time. In a chat, she talks about the joy and difficulty in overcoming being naked for the camera. Her new scene a high energy number where Barbara goes from clothed intercut with nude. Coming as no shock she still has a fantastic figure 14 years after her first experience with Playboy (7 mins). Lillian Muller - Aug 1975, PMotY 1976 - is from Norway and had a spot in their 'Fabulous Forties' video. Because it was so long ago - the 70's - there's no video footage so instead they show pictorials. Her interview has a heartfelt moment where she expresses how her daughter is everything and she wishes she had kids in her twenties instead of being a sex symbol and making money. Her new scene is short, but does provide more nudity than she gave in that other video (10 mins).

If you enjoy trips down memory lane, 'Playmates Revisited' will deliver. The ladies are still very much beautiful, in shape and the camera captures them nicely. Only downside is the amount of time spent on talk & non-nude vintage content. It's the kind of thing you'll only watch once (unless you're a fan of a particular lady) limiting replay value, but I enjoyed my time with this title.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
