The Devil in Miss Jones 3 (1986) - 08/05/06 03:10 PM
Background:
Well, there are two reasons I got reintroduced to this classic: (i) the movie was recently re-released, (ii) I always remembered Lois Ayres was hot, but damn that was twenty years ago. Well, a bird on the window showed me Lois' myspace profile, and wow...she's got quite an interesting story to tell.
This was the first of 3 installments of the "DMJ" franchise done by the Dark Brothers. These, along with New Wave Hookers signalled a sigificant change in the typical porn movie. The sex was still intense, but long gone were the maudlin soundtracks and some of the edgier themes like incest, mock rape, real BDSM, and other exploitation-ish topics.
General:
Title: The Devil in Miss Jones 3: A New Beginning
Year: 1986
Director: Gregory Dark
Studio: Dark Brothers
Distributor: VCA
Music:
(i) Eleven Blue Men. Never heard of this group before, most likely the porn-pseudonym of someone else. "Elven Blue Men" is a reference to the CDC's Epidemic Intelligence Service, who traced the cause of 11 men's cyanosis (turning blue) to a single tainted salt dispenser in a Bowery diner.
(ii) Gleaming Spires.
The Gleaming Spires were a short-lived L.A. new wave band from the early 80s. They scored one minor hit "Are You Ready for the Sex Girls?" which made the Revenge of the Nerds soundtrack. You can check out an old handbill of theirs on the Poshboy Records website. The song in DMJ3 is "A Christian Girl's Problems" from Walk On Well Lighted Streets.

Full credits from IMDB.
Plot:
This film departs from the original concept of Gerard Damiano's DMJ with Georgina Spelvin--suicidal woman makes a bargain with Satan to live out her remaining days as a slut. In DMJ3, the eponymous Miss Jones actually died at someone else's hands, but her latent lust sends her to Hell. This Justine also wants to earn her way out of Hell. The film rolls in vignettes presented by the various men in Justine's life who, when questioned by an off-camera voice, describe her in various forms, followed by her journeys around Hell with her Aeneas-tourguide who shows her the different punishments for the sexually deviant. Think of it Dante with wood.
Rating:
I normally don't rate these things; they're more often "just so you know" types of things. But even 20 years down the road, this film still rocks. It's a darkly funny film This is the kind of blending of sex and punk attitude that Eon wishes he could produce. The music is interesting but not "early 70s overbearing, the sex is enthusiastic, the sets are cool, and Lois Ayres has a great "fuck you" attitude throughtout.
