Fanny AKA Video Date Line -Talk about movies being ahead of their time! Over two decades after it rocked the porn palaces of America. It is still ahead of the time, and it probably will remain so into the next millennium. To be sure, dating services have become commonplace, but the concept of a service that allows you to see your prospective date performing sexually "before committing yourself" is a revolutionary idea. Look out for the weird impresario of the service, a caricature of Jack Palance sporting a slouch hat and mustache, who speaks in menacing whispers and carries a big stick, which his lovely girlfriend, Connie, is really at pains to sit on. A fresh-looking Annie Sprinkle is here to help clients "rise" to the occasion, and tender little Jean Dalton drops by to make a video and stays for the climactic orgy. You will too. Russ Carlson was a stand-in in Scene 1.
