Ambitious and fun
"This one surely had a big budget. It has synchronized sex, show tunes and some great scenes. It also includes a director commentary and a 35 mm film strip cut from a print, and also a 5 x 7 photo insert of Suzy Mandel."

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.
An all-time classic of adult filmmaking, The Amero Brothers’ “Blonde Ambition” is a glorious XXX tribute to the MGM musicals of yesteryear. Starring Suzy Mandel and Dory Devon, and featuring the finest of New York’s golden age porn actors including Jamie Gillis, Eric Edwards, George Payne and Richard Bolla, the film recounts the exploits of the beautiful Kane Sisters, one of the worst Vaudeville acts in show business, as they aim for the big time in the Big Apple. With song and dance numbers galore, a porn version of Gone with the Wind, countless comedy routines, and a climactic scene in a New York leather bar, Blonde Ambition is unlike any film you’ve ever seen before. In the words of its directors “If you loved “Deep Throat” and “Singin’ in the Rain”, you’re gonna love “Blonde Ambition”. Video X Pix is proud to present a re-mastered version of this film together with an extensive collection of extras – including the first commentary that legendary director John Amero has ever recorded!

Roberta Findlay's finest
"An outrageous and queer straight screwball sex comedy, if that makes any sense. Gorgeous tribute to Old Hollywood!"
Just so-so
"Everyone seems to love this, but it didn't work for me. Maybe you need to be a fan of old Hollywood musicals, which I am not. I'd seen Suzy Mandell before, and she's cute, but mostly the Kane sisters are annoying in this. The promo of the 4k restoration looks great, but I was watching the DVD, which seems a bit washed out by comparison. It is a nice package as far as DVD's go with a booklet and the picture insert. And the slipcover over the DVD has a nice textured look and feel."
They don't make 'em like this anymore!
"The 2 Disc DVD version of "Blonde Ambition" by Videopix packs one helluva whallop! You get both the uncut Hardcore version, and the uncut "Soft" version...but wait...that's not all! This release has a snazzy booklet, a Suzy Mandel postcard, and an actual strip of the 35mm film. You get multiple commentaries from Jamie Gillis and John Amero. The Amero Brothers did this one up right. Its funny, its VERY sexy, and it's a cool as heck take on those glorious MGM musicals that our parents loved! Grab this one while it is still shipping and in print, or you will be sorry!"
Satire and Triple X laughs
"Overall an entertaining satire of the classic musicals. Totally corny, and that's part of it's charm. No high art here. But if you want to intentionally laugh while watching your XXX's, this one's for you."
