| Along with the untouchable Radley Metzger a/k/a "Henry Paris", the
| late Chuck Vincent may be the only pornographer whose carnal
| comedies can be accurately described as witty. While fellow
| fornication filmmakers frequently dealt in knockabout slapstick and
| gross-out toilet humor to score laughter, Vincent responded with
| rib-tickling sophistication apparently influenced by '50s Doris
| Day/Rock Hudson tandems, which he   as a gay man   would have
| predictably cherished. Even though the "real world" chooses to
| emphasize crossover adult dramas ROOMMATES and IN LOVE as his most
| important cinematic contributions, presumably because they came
| closest to mainstream in both style and content, comedy has always
| been Vincent's stock in trade. For my money, MISBEHAVIN' rates
| second only to the original JACK 'N' JILL in a line-up of Chuck's
| finest farces. So funny is it, in fact, that hardcore content tends
| to be somewhat eclipsed, lending credence to the common criticism
| that his movies are a tad soft on sex for the seasoned sleaze
| hound.Only last week, this three decade old movie turned up at the
| Brussels ABC Theater, Belgium's last remaining 35mm screening adult
| cinema, on a double bill with Hans Billian's equally excellent
| JOSEFINE MUTZENBACHER (1. TEIL) a/k/a SENSATIONAL JANINE.
| Unfortunately, that's the full extent of the good news as it was
| shown in an un-subtitled German dub, rendered impenetrably muffled
| through the auditorium's crap sound system, which proved fatal for a  |
| film this heavy on its inspired dialog. Familiar with the material
| from past viewings, I could sympathize with an audience clasping
| fresh eyes on it, impatiently sighing for the sex to start as
| Chuck's meticulously crafted comedy routines were rendered
| unintelligible due to this sad state of affairs.The premise is
| straight out of classic Hollywood comedies such as HEAVEN CAN WAIT
| or HERE COMES MR. JORDAN with the devil (Dick Gallan, who briefly
| appeared in Armand Weston's sublime TAKE OFF) and an angel
| (Vincent's regular character actor Kurt Mann) making a wager whether  |
| oft-divorced Rita Lawrence, portrayed by the wonderful Leslie Bovee
| in one of the finest performances of her very distinguished dirty
| movie career, will marry her next husband   and we're running well
| into double digits here   for either love or money. With a
| professional gold digger like Rita, who has extracted her most
| recent settlement through torture (albeit played for laughs), the
| answer would seem obvious, but clever scripting by the director's
| significant other Bill Slobodian, who sadly passed away from AIDS-
| related causes three years prior to his longtime lover, keeps the
| audience guessing as to the eventual outcome. As a matter of fact,
| the twist in the tail reminded me of a remark made by fellow
| hardcore historian John Lyons who writes those illuminating "classix  |
| comments" on www.adultdvdtalk.com and is also a reliably regular
| poster on the AV Maniacs Forum. He pointed out to me that none of
| Vincent's films have a completely happy ending. Though he said this
| in reference to VISIONS and IN LOVE, it holds equally true here. See  |
| it and you'll understand? Still, this is very much a comedy and
| Rita's hunt for her next spouse, aided and abetted by loyal gal pal
| Gloria (industry doyenne Gloria Leonard hitting all the right, wry,
| Eve Arden-esquire notes), makes for the bulk of the fast-paced
| narrative. The garden party opening showcases the movie's sole
| glaring defect as patently god-awful rock band Harlequin, who has
| since retreated into well-deserved obscurity, blares its talent-
| barren way through an atrocious track entitled "Stray Pussy". 'Nuff
| said. Lots of funny business keeps viewer attention occupied as
| Rita's disgruntled ex-mother in law (magnificent Mollie Malone,
| another Vincent regular) attempts to kill her, hot-blooded Hispanic
| ex Carlos (adorable stud muffin Marc Valentine, the rectal Romeo
| from DEEP INSIDE ANNIE SPRINKLE) threatens suicide, with bimbo maid
| Lilly (the late Arcadia Lake in a part indicative of sadly untapped
| comedic talents) obliviously bungling both their efforts. Meanwhile,  |
| Gloria drags her cowboy escort Clyde (future action star Sonny
| Landham, who saw his campaign for Governor to the State of Kentucky
| thwarted by his porno past) into the bathroom for some impromptu
| intimacy. The latter attracts Rita's attention as well and one of
| the film's funniest not to mention well-sustained sequences has her
| juggling Clyde, recent paramour Steve (Eric Edwards) and geriatric
| millionaire Mr. Cornwall (Eric Stanhope, who played "Fuller Shyte"
| on Carter Stevens' ROLLERBABIES) in various parts of the house to
| avoid they would meet.As in his screenplay for the subsequent,
| inferior BON APPETIT, Slobodian throws in a gratuitous pool party
| cum orgy to up the sex ante, with guest appearances by nubile
| Georgette Sanders, sultry Erica Havens (the blushing bride from
| Carter Stevens' HONEYMOON HAVEN), built as a brick outhouse Rikki
| O'Neal and Ellyn "Burgundy" Grant who had small bits in Damiano's
| PEOPLE and ODYSSEY. While this group gets nasty, Rita wanders around  |
| looking for the apparently penniless Edwards who may or may not be
| her shot at true love. Not that this infatuation keeps her from
| getting her hands dirty, as she gives a ride to her black stable
| hand (one shot Ajito) and sneaks off for a hot quickie with
| restaurateur Jack Wrangler, who tragically died a few months ago,
| during a dull dinner with Cornwall.It almost goes without saying
| that this is also an extremely well produced film. DoP Pierre
| Schwartz, a master of atmosphere as evidenced by his work on Duddy
| Kane's moody WET RAINBOW and the snowy scapes of Joel Scott's
| underrated A COMING OF ANGELS, passed the torch to an eager young
| upstart (as far as feature films are concerned for he had been
| shooting loops for legendary Bob Wolfe since decade's dawn) called
| Larry Revene, who worked as camera operator on this particular
| project. A fast friendship was forged and Revene would remain a
| loyal contributor to Vincent's career until the latter's untimely
| death as well as a fine fornication filmmaker in his own right.
