Barbara Broadcast - Classic Porn Movie Starring Annette Haven
Having established himself as a successful porn director under the name Henry Paris, Radley Metzger quickly followed up his groundbreaking The Opening of Misty Beethoven with Barbara Broadcast, starring Annette Haven, another attempt to fuse lavish visuals and sharp wit with down and dirty hardcore sex scenes. This time any semblance of a plot is purely accidental, as Barbara Broadcast revolves around a goofy concept and manages to turn grindhouse filmmaking into pure surrealism.
At a posh New York restaurant, renowned sex expert Barbara Broadcast (Annette Haven) is interviewed by adventurous reporter Robert (C.J. Laing). However, people don't just eat food here, as the waiting staff delivers a variety of sexual services straight off the menu. Barbara's interview is constantly disrupted by autograph requests, sexual favors, and visits from old friends, while the clientele dallies on the tables, enjoys unorthodox salad dressing, and watches the maitre'd exact a most perverse revenge against waitresses who drop the restaurant's expensive plates. Eventually Roberta decides to get in on the sex action by traipsing off to the kitchen, where she enjoys a steamy session with a dishwasher (Wade Nichols). That night she and Barbara Broadcast meet up again at a disco, where they engage in some public sex displays with the libidinous Curley (Jamie Gillis) and listen to his story involving a disciplinarian approach to a Protestant American Princess (Constance Money). The opening half hour of Barbara Broadcast is a delirious delight, as the elegant restaurant setting provides a perfect backdrop for a variety of sexual activities. Unfortunately Barbara Broadcast has nowhere to go from there, with the story simply tacking on one hardcore sexual encounter after another. The kitchen sequence is by far the most intense moment of the film, and all of the performers (particularly Annette Haven) seem to be putting their all into their roles. Mildly diverting fun and unmistakably Metzger, Barbara Broadcast isn't Misty Beethoven, but then how could it be?
Like many 1970s titles, Barbara Broadcast has been chopped to pieces over the years due to various censorship laws governing the home video industry. Thankfully, the DVD restores Barbara Broadcast’s rarely seen finale, presented by Gillis as a flashback. The Barbara Broadcast DVD comes up a bit short compared to the original running time, but it's still far more complete than anything we've had before. Gillis and Leonard return for an audio commentary, though their specific recollections are rather limited due to the fact that Leonard had nothing to do with the film and Gillis merely had a glorified cameo. Instead they offer more of an overview of the whole 1970’s adult film scene, Metzger's filmmaking techniques, and the histories behind Barbara Broadcast’s various performers.
“One of the best iexamples of classic adult cinema, Barbara Broadcast is the story of a young reporter (C.J. Laing) who gets the opportunity to interview one of her heroes, a legendary NY prostitute played by Annette Haven. The interview takes place in a restaurant where diners order various types of sex rather than food, and a good time is had by all. An excellent film. Radley Metzger's (Credited here as Henry Paris) films are arguably the best films ever.”
“Although there is more sucking than fucking in Barbara Broadcast, it is a keeper. Lots of sex in a restaurant and dance club shows Annette Haven giving head, getting laid and doing a lesbian scene. CJ Laing takes it in the ass without a whimper. Great movie.”
“I saw Barbara Broadcast when it first came out. To this day,I still think it's great. The restaurant scenes are memorable to say the least. The acting in Barbara Broadcast compares well with some of the better financed and directed films of the late 70's. This film, just like 'DeepThroat' and 'Behind the Green Door' will always be classics in an industry that exposed the pleasures of private home entertainment.”
