Tiffany is a typical New York housewife whose life couldn’t be better. The only thing is, she’s sick of it and has decided that today she will break free from the shackles of mundanity and explore all of her pent up sexual desires. After leaving a parting note for her husband, Tiffany is off to see Betty, an experienced prostitute who gives her a chance to explore her sapphic side. However, it's a visit to the wild goings on of New York's favorite sex themed radio series, The Florence Nightingale Show, that really opens her eyes to the unlimited realm of sensual possibilities. But as each erotic experience becomes more outrageous than the last, Tiffany begins to wonder whether liberation truly is better than love.
A production long shrouded in authorial mystery, though ultimately revealed to have been secretly helmed by one of hardcore cinema’s most luminous auteurs, Radley Metzger (The Opening of Misty Beethoven), with assistance from one of France’s top makers of elegant erotic films, Gérard Kikoïne (Edge of Sanity), THE TALE OF TIFFANY LUST is a light hearted romantic comedy which stars one of France’s queens of sex cinema, Dominique Saint Claire (Aphrodesia’s Diary) along with America’s top names in hardcore: Veronica Hart (Roommates), Desiree Costeau (Ms. Magnificent), Vanessa Del Rio (Her Name Was Lisa), Samantha Fox (Babe), and George Payne (Blonde Ambition). Mélusine proudly brings this lost link between French and American hardcore to 4K UHD, exclusively restored in 4K from its original 35mm camera negative, also including, for the very first time on disc, its alternate “soft” version, which features numerous alternate, extended, and additional sequences along with a fresh interview with co-director Kikoïne who illuminates the wild history behind this maverick production.

"A version of the "bored housewife takes a walk on the wild side", where the sex scenes almost all advance the plot. There was some tension, was she getting in over her head, that was ultimately resolved. And New York City is well-presented here."
"Excellent transfer and awesome design on the art."
"An essential release in the Mélusuine cannon. Entertaining film with great cinematography, fun music score and some of the best adult actors during the era."
"The packaging is matched by the film’s quality and features great performances and fantastic pacing for this adult film."
"The Films is Brilliant, and is loaded wity nice extras, and the presentation of the box is gorgeous."
"Another splendid Mélusine release Featuring sexy stars, funky music, and even some solid jokes! Follow a frustrated housewife on an erotic escapade through the streets of New York City only to find out that home is, indeed, where the heart is. You get a glorious glimpse of a city long since gone as she makes her way from the home of an upscale escort, to a raunchy radio show, a dive bar, and beyond. Highlights are a frisky four-way with Desiree Costeau, and a sizzling solo scene with Misty Regan. Aside from the restored film, and quality Mélusine packaging, we have a whole slew of extras. Most important is the full softcore version, which adds a bit of context to some scenes and gives us a glorious sequence of Desiree Costeau sashaying down a busy New York street. And most interesting is the featurette showing us the filming locations side-by-side with how they look now."
"The artwork on this blu ray is amazing. It’s a case, inside a slip cover, inside another box. The movie is good with some fun scenes. My only complaint is the audio isn’t terrific. Some talking scenes sound a bit scratchy I would say."
"storytelling is boring，secen look good，M é lusine has undergone a brand new 4K restoration from the original 35mm film. In addition, for the first time, its softcore version is included on the disc, featuring multiple substitutions, extensions, and additions, as well as the latest interview with co director Gerard Kikoin, revealing the crazy history of this independent production."
"A high Quality Transfer!"
"Superb packaging. Excellent restoration and some nice extras. I have one big complaint. The featured interview with co-director Gerard Kikoine is in French and the subtitles are foreign so I have no way to understand it without an interpreter. That was extremely disappointing as I was looking forward to hearing him speak of working with Radley."
