In 1987, French Adult Cinema superstar, Marilyn Jess, began the production of what would become her final film. Joining her was Michel Beaudricourt (Michel Caputo), who took the opportunity to document Marilyn, her fellow actors, and crew, creating an extraordinary mix of documentary and erotic fantasy. IL ETAIT UNE FOIS MARILYN JESS is at last presented in its original version, which has never before been seen on video.
In 1984, Jean-François Davy (as Paul Kermann), directed his last 35mm X rated film, LINGERIES FINES ET PERVERSES. Gathering all the stars of the time, Helen Shirley, Marilyn Jess, Olinka, Cathy Menard and Marianne Aubert, LINGERIES tells the story of a female director of erotic movies who looses herself in a journey of female fantasies.

"Anything with Marilyn Jess is worth the watch. While the documentary is interesting, it doesn't reveal much about Marilyn. Depending on what you're looking for, Lingeries Fines et Perverses may be the standout feature on the disc."
"Great edition to your collection! The restoration is great! With tons of extras. And the artcover is a 10/10! Love it!"
"I was interested in the documentary nature of this but also just the question of working as an adult film star. Are we ever seeing anything like the "real" Marilyn on or off film? Did the movie answer this? Not really! But it's fun to explore."
"Very interesting documentary about the shooting of her last movie. Mixed with scenes shot on the set. Some interviews, some jokes, some serious worries about AIDS (it was 1987), overall an enjoyable feature, very well shot. In the extras you can see Marilyn in a recent interview, 34 years later, reminiscing on those days. The second feature, Lingeries fines…it wasn't very interesting to me. But that's not why I bought the release."
"Great movie. Dvd arrived in good time. Played great no issues. Thank you."
"A good docufiction that really is amazing when Marilyn Jess is simply chilling and talking to the camer"
"Looks amazing, Great Extras!"
"A classy (most of the time!) French release with some wild sci-fi scenes."
"Marilyn Jess is always a delight, and Il était une fois… Marilyn Jess beautifully captures why. She emanates not only beauty and sensuality, but a fresh-faced positivity that naturally puts a smile on the viewer’s face. There is a genuine sense that she enjoys her work, and that authenticity is central to her appeal. What makes Jess especially compelling is her versatility. She brings lightheartedness or depth depending on what the scene calls for, moving effortlessly between warmth, playfulness, and emotional presence. Nothing feels forced or mechanical; her performances feel responsive and alive. There is an ease and kindness in her screen presence that elevates the film beyond simple erotic display. Desire feels mutual, human, and joyful. Seen today, this film is a reminder that erotic cinema can be sexy, affirmative, and emotionally honest all at once."
"It’s great to see these Pulse Video titles getting stateside distribution, especially the MJ titles. If only they would restock Le Femme Objet or even redo it in 4K ;)"
