New York congressman Nicholas Stern (Paul Thomas) runs a clean campaign, or so he'd like his constituency to believe. Hoping to win a seat in the senate by promoting conservative, anti 'smut' values, Stern is in fact a ruthless hypocrite with an on-call pimp and a cold-hearted desire to win back his high school fling, Marybeth. But when Elvira Lawrence, a respected reporter, decides to do a scoop on his crooked activities, Stern begins to fear that he might be revealed for who he really is...

A big-budget hardcore black comedy with an all-star cast, Henri Pachard's (The Devil in Miss Jones Part 2) PUBLIC AFFAIRS features Annette Haven (China Girl), Kelly Nichols (Roommates), Annette Heinz (Burlexx), Richard Bolla (Cannibal Holocaust) and Joey Silvera (Pretty Peaches). Produced and co-written by Joyce Snyder (Pledge Night) and photographed by Larry Revene (Doom Asylum), PUBLIC AFFAIRS remains one of the classics of early 80s erotica and comes to Blu-ray newly restored in 2k from its original negative, from Vinegar Syndrome.

Reviews

Public affairs

"I was very happy to pick up a copy of this title during the Labour Day sale, as it was a film I had been trying to get hold of, and had been out of stock for a long time. It was worth the wait. The script is well written, with dialogue expertly delivered thanks to an impressive cast. If you're here just for the story, there should be enough to keep your attention (I've seen worse efforts in non-porn movies), though there are some very nice scenes if that's what you require. Restoration work is great, the film looks in great condition. I did notice a little more grain than I would have liked in one of the low light scenes, nothing major, and shouldn't spoil the viewing experience. I fully expect to rewatch this movie at some point, and would happily recommend it."

— Luke S. (5/5)

Just an outstanding film

"This is one of my favorite adult films I've ever seen, and I didn't see it until it arrived in my mailbox from Melusine 40+ years after it was made. The production value is high on this film, it looks great in HD. And Annette Haven is not only beautiful, but she can act. The story is sadly timeless as it explores corruption and hypocrisy in politics, but with an Annette Haven bonus. Fun film. Sometimes a funny film. Highly recommend."

— Robert R. (5/5)

A sometimes funny political satire

"A sometimes funny political satire that has some rather hot scenes, which is a bit unexpected as the sex is very . . . normal."

— Markus T. (3/5)

Great release!

"Female investigative journalist tries to sink the election campaign of a corrupt, womanizing politician. Nice adult movie from the classic era."

— Sebastian V. (5/5)

Amusing

"Over the top depiction of American electioneering pre Stormy Daniels! Probably more true to life than not."

— John B. (4/5)

Sexy and fun political porn

"This is the most entertaining blind buy porn I've gotten from you guys. Its a nice satire of American politics that was funny and hit close to the mark for what we're dealing with in this country. It was also very sexy! The special features were generous for a movie of this type and I really wish I got that slipcover."

— Sam B. (5/5)

Great movie

"For the people who like more story with their adult films, this one is for you. The political theme was fun involving a reporter and an ultra sleazy politician. Annette Haven was great as always. the transfer looks so good!"

— Jonathan M. (5/5)

Love it

"Full of beautiful people and looks so great! The quality of these restorations film is fantastic!"

— Kyle L. (5/5)

Political Hilarity

"Though not Pachard’s greatest achievement (Mascara reigns supreme as he and Findlay work so well together), Public Affairs is a delightfully funny and rather sharp political satire, bolstered by some genuinely moving sex sequences and largely rock solid performances throughout."

— William M. (4/5)

Timely Pachard

"Typically funny and very timely comedy from the great Henri Pachard — Annette Haven is especially fun in this one. Beautiful restoration and nice extras as usual."

— Elizabeth P. (5/5)
