This is neither a euro nor German movie.
If the DVD content is what is shown on box cover and back cover, it would be an American movie (and I would wager a compilation at that as well, as I see Lee Stone in oneof the thumbnails on front cover).
The dark-haired woman on cover is Carrie Ann

It's a bit disingenuous of VR to market this stuff while not mentioning that
they [also] do German-dubbed releases of US stuff. But that's business, I
suppose.

BTW, I have taken a vow to be quite extraordinarily kind and gracious to
newbies for the entire weekend...... [img]http://www.egafd.com/forum/smileys/innocent.gif[/img]
I can't promise that my resolution won't begin to waver somewhat into the
early hours of Monday morning [img]http://www.egafd.com/forum/smileys/grin.gif[/img]

I will keep you in check should you waver from your steadfast resolution.

How deceittful of Videorama not to indicate what the movie is. You don't see any name of any performer on the box cover. And people really fall for that? Well, perhaps I suppose so if you live in German/Europe and you are not too familiar with US porn performers you may think you are buying a local product.

But then, I have seen a lot of box covers of movies released in Italy which were obviously not domestic productions (Brazilian, US) with the following words emblazoned on the DVD cover: "Produzione Italiana" (Italian Production). Yeah, right!

It took me a long while to learn not to trust covers- but then I was never the
sharpest thorn on the rose-bush : -)

I caught on very quickly (although I got stiffed a few time early in the game). When you saw a box cover with no recognizable name of distributor, with either no performer names on box cover, or strange names you never heard of, it was a signal that something was amiss. When you had a look at the actual video cassette and saw a very large spool with very little videotape wrapped around it, again another red flag (of a very short movie). Sure you got screwed a couple of times, then you learned.
In the late 1980's-early 1990's there were a couple of US movie distributors that used deceptive practices: Western Visuals, Video Exclusives. They would repackage their movies with different artwork anbd titles. Video Exclusives used other labels and different artwork, often using same identical title, then removing a scene and replacing it with another.
But until not too long ago, when the DVD format began to take off, Vivid decided to roll out some of their older titles and releasing them on DVD. But there were outcries from many consumers that scenes were either abbreviated or deleted (sometimes for no justifiable reason as the movies were under 2 hours and could easily have fit the DVD disc size).
I was not living in Europe and very little of euro porn trickled down to North America, so we did not have to deal with the innumerable Siffredi, Mona Pozzi or Cicciolina titles that were recicled over and over with different boxcovers and titles.
When you get stiffed on a rental title, it is not that bad, but when you spent money on a VHSor DVD title that type of deception really hurt.
Not long before his death, Den at CAVR (adult movie review web) was very vociferous about such practices, but that's what the porn industry does.

Thank you Len801 and JJ, I should really have taken more notice of the back cover screenshots, I guess the euro studios just figure as long as it's got hot women in they can just dub it and offer it as a euro production...sex sells! cheers, tuf
