The biggest stars, best directors, and highest production values; that is a QUALITY X film. These deluxe Blu-ray editions of some of the genre's masterpieces, along with plenty of hidden gems, offer beautiful restorations and plentiful bonus features, all presented in homage to its namesake of esteemed New York film distributor, Mature Pictures, the company which almost single handedly raised the bar for outstanding sex films, and whose films will be included in this fittingly elegant collection.

Madam Lautrec and her suave son Paul have the jet-set crowd conned into believing that the duo are two of their own. However, this mother-son team are in fact two of the world’s most talented jewel thieves, who use their charm and insatiable sex appeal to get the rich and famous into bed, only to rob them blind in the process. On the hunt to nab the coveted Fairchild Diamond, this devious pair trace it to an elegant New York townhouse. After sneaking into a debauched masked ball, they think they have the jewel in the bag (literally), but soon their plans start to go awry…

Bursting with wit thanks to Joel Bender’s (Joy, Midnight Kiss) fast paced screenplay and featuring some of the finest cinematography of Larry Revene’s (Roommates, Devil In Miss Jones 2) illustrious career, director Ron Sullivan’s (aka Henri Pachard; Babylon Pink) big budget erotic spectacle, A GIRLS BEST FRIEND is a tantalizing comedy-caper with an all star cast. Featuring Juliet Anderson (Pretty Peaches), Ron Jeremy (Fascination), Veronica Hart (A Scent of Heather), Linda Vale (Neon Nights), Merle Michaels (Pandora’s Mirror), Richard Bolla (Blonde Ambition), Bobby Astyr (Vixens of Kung Fu), and the legendary Veri Knotty (Woman in Love), Quality X is proud to present the Blu-ray debut of A GIRLS BEST FRIEND, newly restored in 4K from its 35mm original camera negative and featuring a no-holds-barred commentary track with production assistant and film critic Glenn Kenny!

Reviews

Strong Presentation and Fun Performances

"A solid release with enjoyable performances and a nice presentation overall. The transfer looks good for the material, with enough texture and detail to make the film feel well-preserved. Not a perfect disc, but a very worthwhile addition for collectors."

Thomas L. (4/5)

Quest for the family jewels

"I loved this one. Funny and well filmed. The mother/son duo of Juliet Anderson and Ron Jeremy were good. Scenes with Bobby Astyr and his secretary, or Bobby Astyr chowing on a turkey leg during sex made me laugh. The commentary track has some interesting info, as does the booklet and essay. Very catch theme song and a nice slipcover image. Glad to have this one on my shelf."

Adam C. (5/5)

I am not a huge

"I am not a huge fan of Henri Pachard's films, but this is a pretty enjoyable romp with an excellent cast. I found the essay and commentary by one of the film's PAs, Glenn Kenny, to be a great addition to another quality Quality X release, relating some fun stories about the making of the film."

Jason M. (4/5)

Henri Pachard/Rob Sullivan

"Top quality Ron Sullivan flick with a beautiful transfer."

Ben C. (4/5)

OK porn chic entry sparkles in a nice, polished edition

"This is an OK Golden Ager from Pachard where the release is largely enlivened by the supplements: there's a nice commentary here and also a booklet by film critic Glenn Kenny, who was a production assistant. His recall for the production is great, and he has a number of nice stories and anecdotes to contribute. The film itself is just OK, sort of fun, but the storyline never really coheres despite the game efforts of the cast (Veronica Hart steals the show!). The transfer is sparkling, as usual from VS/Melusine. Worth picking up for fans of the genre, but probably won't win it a ton of new converts."

John K. (4/5)

What did you think I was, a natural blonde ?

"First off, the packaging, like most Quality X releases, is great and the extras, including the Audio Commentary by Glenn Kenny, are interesting. The film, itself, is entertaining and for a porn movie, well-made. Cons : 1) Samantha Fox, a famous porn actress, is wasted here, she's only in one scene for 5 minutes and doesn't even get naked. 2) Too much disco music and dancing. 3) Too much incest, not only NOT sexy, BUT a big turn-off . Pros : good set designs, customs and a decent cinematography, even though a bit soft. Plus Veronica Hart . . . AND . . . a nice booklet with good pictures. Juliet Anderson has a few nice and bitchy one-liners in this film, including what I put in the title of my review, in reference of her drapes not matching the carpet !!"

Dennis B. (4/5)

Good overall release

"Fun movie with great girls and scenes. Great release with good quality transfer and nice they included a small booklet. Overall a very nice release from Quality X!"

Onno G. (5/5)

A mediocre heist

"The best thing I can say about this film is that the restoration was done well. It's a jewel heist comedy that will neither thrill you nor make you laugh. Ron Jeremy—a performer not known for his acting skills—is the focal point of the plot. If you like lots of incest and bad disco themed music, this film may be for you."

Noel H. (2/5)

Awesome movie and great artwork!

"Awesome movie and great artwork!"
