From nudies to roughies to ultra weird regional curiosities, the sexploitation world welcomed any filmmaker working in any genre, so long as the limits of nudity and sex on screen were pushed as far as they could go - but never all the way. DISTRIBPIX, one of the legendary names in the genre (and whose extensive library will be the backbone of this line), will offer single, double, and even triple feature Blu-rays highlighting works from every corner and crevice of softcore smut, from the dawn of nudie cuties to the all-but-hard 70s, with plentiful lost and never on disc films along the way.
Many consider Barbara Broadcast (1977) to be the most professional porn film ever shot — witty, sophisticated, and erotic. A former high-class prostitute turned acclaimed author, the stunning Barbara Broadcast (Annette Haven) transforms lunch with a journalist (C.J. Laing) into an afternoon of sexual excess. Barbara seduces her way through a corporate office and a busy nightclub, while Laing ventures into the kitchen for a smoldering encounter with Wade Nichols that may just be the greatest sex scene ever filmed. The film famously brings to life an unforgettable chic restaurant where gourmet food and gourmet sex are both on the menu. The film climaxes with the infamous bondage scene between Constance Money and Jamie Gillis.

Review of Barbara Broadcast
"A great movie"
Classic for a reason!
"Oh, how I hate that I missed out on the blu-ray. Still, the DVD looks great and is a fantastic collector's edition of a super sexy adult film, one of the very best of all time."
Great Film. Great Package.
"Distribpix has put together a terrific package of this classic adult film, with lots of goodies inside the case including a pretty thick book with lots of info about the film and its history. I know that the Blu-ray version did not last long when Melusine first opened shop (I missed it). But I am glad to have the DVD. I think it may be more thorough in its physical presentation. It there are any still left, grab one. I have a fondness for this film that goes back a way, so I am grateful to finally have it on disc. There are many edited versions out there, but this one is uncut. That is how it needs to be seen. Classy and erotic and funny, this one is set in a restaurant and surrounded by a kind of dystopian New York City. Radley Metzger was one of the most renowned adult film directors at the time, and he does a good job on this one."
