The crown jewel of sophisticated erotica, filmmaker Cecil Howard's COMMAND CINEMA presents lavish Blu-ray and 4K UHD editions of Howard's own masterworks, alongside those he produced with other hardcore auteurs such as Chuck Vinecent, Roberta Findlay, and Armand Weston.
Conservative congressman Victor Kidd appears to be living the American dream, complete with a loving, faithful wife, Lacey, and a decent, respectful, and above all, virginal daughter, Katherine. After all, he’s based his entire political career on representing all that is moral and virtuous, particularly favoring pro-abstinence and monogamy legislation. But Victor has a major problem: his supposedly chaste daughter is, in fact, a vivacious nymphomaniac whose actions threaten to destroy the life and career he’s worked so hard to build. Unfortunately, Katherine isn’t the only person in Victor’s life who has an unquenchable thirst for sex…
A wry and witty social satire focused on political and moral hypocrisy that’s as relevant today as it was over three decades ago, Cecil Howard’s SPITFIRE combines a sharp and darkly humorous screenplay by Howard’s regular collaborator, Anne Randall, with an all star cast, among them Sharon Mitchell (Maniac), Robert Kerman (aka R. Bolla, Cannibal Holocaust), Samantha Fox (Jack+Jill), Eric Edwards (Titillation), Joey Silvera (Public Affairs), Annie Sprinkle (Double Exposure of Holly) and featuring a starring performance from Tigr (aka Chelsea Manchester, Nothing to Hide) as the instatiable Katherine. A sleeper rarity in director Cecil Howard’s filmography, Command Cinema is pleased to bring SPITFIRE to Blu-ray, newly restored in 4K from its 35mm original negative.

"The slipcover’s paper-thin and feels like it’ll fall apart if you look at it funny. The case is that same boring blue one everyone’s stuck with forever. But inside, there’s this weird little postcard that looks like something you’d find at a tacky souvenir stand, and a bookmark that’s actually not crap—thick enough and with some cool Spitfire art on it. The movie? Classic ’80s adult stuff with Tigr and Samantha Fox doing their thing."
"High quality scan of a Cecil Howard 1980s classic political satire feature. Decent selection of extras too."
"good scenes, packaging and restoration"
"Great restoration for this little classic."
"If you loved Public Affairs, you’ll love Spitfire. It’s an adult film that goes way above and beyond what’s required, and it’s all the much better for it!"
"Just amazing! And I got some extras too! Thanks for keeping films alive"
"This is an existing edition brought to Melusine but in limited quantities. There are 56 copies remaining as I write this. I will be happy for those few left that get one of these. This collector's set is more than the film it has some physical extras included. A bookmark, command cinema flyer, a photocard with Sue Nero and Rikki Harte on reverse sides. The slipcover is a very nice glossy version. The actress on a field of blue on both sides of the slip feels surprisingly elegant to me here despite being VERY simplistic from a graphic design perspective. It works, imho. The film itself has so many recognizable stars and it seems a good film by the standards previously established by the film industry despite video coming very soon. Highly recommended."
"Spitfire was a crap shoot for me, its pretty good. Definitely worth picking up. Quality is great!"
"Very happy to see Melusine releasing the classic Cecil Howard titles! This is actually the original release from 2020 that was sold out at many distributors. But here there we're some copies left for a standard price! Very happy to add this to the other numbers of my Cecil Howard mini collection."
"Great BD/DVD combo with cool slip and physical extras. This is going OOP so get it while you can. Might be re-released later, though."
