Devil In Miss Jones
In 1973 a pornography director named Gerard Damiano made The Devil in Miss Jones. This film is one of two of Damiano’s classics that helped define the industry. Children should stop here, but adults can read further.
Like many pornography movies, the plot of this one is fairly thin. But unlike many pornography movies the Devil in Miss Jones actually has a coherent plot. It begins with Justine Jones, a spinster who seeks escape from her dull life through suicide. She slits her wrists while in a bathtub and quickly dies. She finds herself in limbo where she meets an angel named Mr. Abaca. Suicide, he says, makes it impossible to enter heaven. She replies that she wants to g back to Earth to live a lustful life.
She spends a session with the man known as the Teacher, learning the ways that she ignored during her life. Then she returns to Earth to have many crazy sexual encounters. She learns that her time on Earth is finished. She is sent to hell where she must spend eternity in a room with with a man who will not have sex with her. She has become a sex maniac, so this is a terrible punishment. That’s the end of the Devil in Miss Jones.
There were five sequels to the Devil in Miss Jones, none of which matched the success of the original. Vivid, however, made a 2005 remake that won many awards. This movie added the word New to the title. The woman who played Miss Jones in the original now plays a cleaning lady who has no sexual role. This movie won best cinematography, best screenplay, best editing, best Director, best actress, best film, best supporting actress, and best all girl sex scene.
The same director created the movie Deep Throat. Plots in porno films began with this one. A woman who can’t get sexual satisfaction goes to the doctor. She finds that her sex organ is located in her throat. The remainder is pretty predictable. That’s not even as much plot as the Devil in Miss Jones, but it’s a plot.
Gérard Damiano made many other movies besides Deep Throat and the Devil in Miss Jones. His two final films were a series, Naked Goodness and Naked Goodness 2. In the world of pornography films he was one of the best.
