Christy Canyon in On Golden Blonde.
Rating: ★★★
On Golden Blonde, like many relics from the Golden Age of Porn, is a curious piece of history for the sole reason that it was one of the introductory films for Christy Canyon, who later become one of the biggest and most celebrated porn stars in the business. Despite the film showing desperately little of her having sex, this is a surprisingly humorous film, taking a lot of its humor from the 1978 film Heaven Can Wait's storyline, and manages to be a very erotic and tastefully done porno in spite of a few notable pitfalls.
The story concerns Alice (Canyon), a young woman who we see enter Heaven in the opening scene of the film, greeted by an angel (W.O. Williams). Shocked that she has died at such a young age, Alice questions the angel why she was taken so young, to which the angel helplessly states that she has done nothing other than simply be at the wrong place at the wrong time. After a quick morning lay with a boyfriend of her's (and by "quick," I mean about eleven minutes long), Alice ventured out to the park where she was killed whilst stopping under a tree for a rest. While the angel cannot restore her life, due to Heaven's time zone moving a lot more quickly than Earth's, rendering Alice buried and memorialized in a matter of seconds, he does agree to allow her a liberal amount of time in the bodies of other prudish women in order to try and assimilate into one of them into the next life.
This involves a very reserved girl (Ginger Lynn), who turns into a sex goddess with her boyfriend when Alice gets inside of her, resulting in an incredibly hot threesome between Lynn, Tom Byron, and Janey Robbins, in addition to a woman who has been in a coma for two months and in need of a revitalization, mentally and sexually. Throughout the film, Alice hopscotches through a barrage of different females and engages in everything from poolside sex and sex outside (and perhaps inside) of marriage.
On Golden Blonde also features a plethora of surprisingly fun comedy; consider the scene when the angel appears inconveniently, interrupting Alice in the middle of poolside sex. Because only she can see the angel, she begins having a conversation, making her male lover think something totally different in this scene and downright confusing him in another. These are the little extra features in pornographic films that make me smile, and a pleasant reminder that some of these films have more than illicit sex on their mind.
Though Canyon's presence is only in one particular sex scene, and her acting chops leave a lot to be desired in this particular film, On Golden Blonde is a lot of fun, full of charisma, good humor, and great, arousing sex. It also further exploits the anomaly of God and Heaven being yet another plot-point in a pornographic film, which goes to show the true ambition and limitless artistic boundaries of the porn industry during the time period.
Starring: Christy Canyon, W.O. Williams, Tom Byron, Gina Carrera, Janey Robbins, and Peter North. Directed by: Adam.
