Tangerine aka Adolescentes Louer (1979), Vintage Classic Adult 1979 (USA), Split Scene
![]()
Stars : Liza Dwyer, Laurie Blue, Jennifer West, Holly McCall, Juliet Anderson, Jane Lindsay, Kitty Shayne, Angel Ducharme, Blair Harris, Gary Eberhart, Michael Morrison, Ken Scudder, Mike Horner, Richard Pacheco, Jesse Adams, Mike Ranger, Charles Hooper, Mandy Ashley
Director: Gary Graver (as Robert McCallum)
Writer: Peter Van (screenplay)
Plot : The story of a high society hostess named Tangerine and her three teenage daughters: Faith, Hope, and Charity. Tangerine throws lavish parties at her sumptuous seaside home for influential business executives. What she is really up to, however, has more to do with dollars than hospitality. Her bait, Faith, Hope, and Charity, who pretend to be between the ages of 13 and 15, are actually not teenagers at all, and are no relation to Tangerine whatsoever!
It's a good, spicy tale and a provocative experience, as you follow the three nymphettes in their erotic seduction
Review : Not one of Gary Graver's sterling achievements, TANGERINE is nonetheless an effective porn programmer, executing an okay storyline.
Premise is that attractive MILF Jennifer West in the title role has three pretend teen daughters who she essentially pimps out (in her home) to blackmail all and sundry who are seduced by them. They not only pretend to be her kin but also 15 years old (hardly credible), putting the rogues in jeopardy.
Film unfolds like an endless dinner party, with guests heading for the bedroom to get down with the kids Faith, Hope and Charity. Of course the scheme unravels, but the sex scam is fun to watch.
West looks great but her acting this time out is really poor, frequently giving unconvincing line readings, which Graver left in the finished film. Stealing the show in one of her earliest appearances is Holly McCall as the busiest daughter Faith. Her mature figure and manner never come close to the underage premise (even pretend). She also steals Veri Knotty's specialty routine involving a trick with her labia.
The other two girls are convincingly young looking, but have little to do compared to uninhibited Holly. Many big stars appear in supporting roles, notably Aunt Peg: Juliet Anderson, who vainly overacts to compensate (and succeeds to a great degree) for the non-acting of most of the other women. One of my all-time faves Kitty Shayne is wasted and photographed unflatteringly in a shower scene.
Credits are intentionally confusing and filled with unnecessary pseudonyms. The dumbest of these is identifying Jesse Adams, who's in the shower threesome with Kitty, as "Jessie St. James", a sex change pretending he's the equally famous actress, who is not in the film at all.
Richard Pacheco predictably turns in the best performance, as a guy who sees through all the scheming, but not before sampling all three of the girls. Tech credits, including shooting on film, are above-average for porn.
