Founded in 1979, VCX has been one of the premier names in erotic films on home video for close to 50 years. With a vast catalog of genre classics, featuring star making performances and top quality direction, these meticulously restored Blu-ray editions will present the VCX library as never before seen.
Charli loves her husband Jack, and Jack adores his caring, beautiful wife. But the spark and spontaneity has vanished from their marriage, particularly when it comes to their sex life. Their connection appears to be falling apart and neither can figure out what to do. Charli’s best friend Janet and Jack’s coworker Al both try to encourage the lust lost between the couple, but still their eyes begin to stray and increasingly torrid fantasies of others start to dominate their minds. Can anything truly reunite this otherwise seemingly-perfect couple?
One of the essential crossover films of the early 1980s, CHARLI remains a testament to the sensual heights achieved by couples-oriented theatrical erotica just before home video claimed the industry. Directed by Stu Segall (as Godfrey Daniels) and featuring Annette Haven (China Girl), Eric Edwards (The Fireworks Woman), Lee Carroll (Anytime, Anyplace), an appearance from beloved character actor John Goff (Tammy & the T-Rex), and a masterful lead performance from Jesie St. James (Centerspread Girls), this sweet and deceptively simple story shows how true love can never be extinguished. VCX is proud to bring this all-American romance to Blu-ray, newly restored in 4K from its 35mm original camera negative.

"Arthur imprisoned on false grounds for murdering his wife survives a shipwreck and six super models on another ship as well. Beautifully shot in the South Pacific. Great restoration. A sensous paradise mood. Double sided poster included. Highly recommended."
"Surrender in Paradise is sun-soaked, sweaty, trashy as hell and completely fucking shameless. Sex, violence, bad decisions and people who clearly deserve whatever fucked-up shit is coming their way. It’s cheap, nasty, ridiculous and utterly devoid of shame—and that’s precisely why I had such a fucking good time with it."
"While lighter in plot than others the beautiful setting and stunning transfer are more than enough to make up the difference. Jerry Butler is great as always, and the rest of the cast has plenty of time to shine as well. I'm disappointed there's not at least an image gallery in addition to the trailer, but maybe the materials just aren't there for it. I don't have a terribly expensive setup, but this has to be one of the best looking transfers Melusine has released. Keep 'em coming, please!"
"I deducted one star for the orchestral soundtrack that plays continuously, and the character dynamics are underwhelming. Despite the somewhat comedic survival premise, the film is still an enjoyable watch overall. The transfer looks good, Stacey Donovan and Ginger Lynn look stunning, and Sammelin's artwork is fantastic."
"Amazing location. Amazing cast. Amazing adult film all around. Definitely one of the strongest Melsuine titles of the year."
"This is one of the best shot adult films of the 1980s. The location photography is so exquisite. If you enjoy seeing people in exotic places this will definitely satisfy you. All of the women in this movie are drop dead gorgeous, especially Ginger Lynn. The sex scenes are highly erotic. Fantastic transfer. Highly Recommended!!!"
"I watched this feature recently and I’ve got to say it looks incredible absolutely stunning colour and impeccable clarity which I’ve come to expect and the case and artwork/slipcover is of high quality as well. definitely worth the purchase."
"Great restoration and great packaging incl. poster. Never looked better on home video."
"Always great to get another Jerry Butler film. Enjoyed the film and liked the tropical island vibe. Wish there were more extras, though."
"It's about time this had a nice upgrade. Great locations and some of the hottest women to appear in adult movies. I still have this one on the old Collectors Club VHS and I would love to see more of those titles get this kind of treatment."
