It is surprising (to me) that there is not a topic here on Egafd orbiting around Jos? B?naz?raf. {I looked through all the topics dating back to the beginning of 2004.}
I was searching for it because this Saturday, I am going to show his "Madame Deborah" (1985) at the Twisted Spoke tavern. There are no credits on my VHS videotape, which is the Caballero U.S. release [in its 'Once Upon A Time' series]. (The late) Robert Rimmer, in his "The X-Rated Videotape Guide II", mentions only Catherine Combas & Laurie Friedman {sic}. He was not known for his accurate attributions of the performers, especially when they were European.
And consequently, I was unsurprised when I looked up this video on the Egafd database and saw practically nothing. Here is the terse synopsis of it which I composed:

Here is a brothel-themed production. In the middle 1980's, even an hallowed European erotic director such as Jos? B?naz?raf is lensing sixty-minute quickies on videotape.

We are introduced to "Judy", a country girl who has journeyed to our titular character's brothel, seeking carnal knowledge. We view her instruction into the erotic arts, including a seldom-seen uncircumsized cock on one patron.

There is also a good amount of footage shot outdoors, including a picnic where the foodstuffs are discarded in favor of non-caloric sustenance.

The best aspect of this video is the appearance of our French females, all of whom are appropriately cast. While this may be shot on videotape, it is French, and you know what that means. {It has a twist ending.}

Use this topic to mention other erotic movies and videos from J. B?naz?raf.

As it happens, this is next on my list to do caps. There may be two females to add.

The males are Alban Ceray, Gabriel Pontello and Christophe Clark. Cathy [2] seems to play Madame Deborah. It seems to have been made at the same time and in the same house as Bedside Manor and Passionate Pupils, with a similar cast to Bedside Manor.

From looking at the gallery, Cathy [2] is Madame Deborah in this video. I hope we can better discern what was her acting name in erotic film & video. I thank you again.

If you reside in North America, and especially in the U.S.A., I'm finding closeout VHS videocassettes of many Euro features at the regular Excalibur Films World-Wide Website.
What prompted this topic to be pulled out of the archive is it wants only $4.49 for this Jos? B?naz?raf video.
Another U.S.A. W-WW site worth checking for old(er) Euro VHS' is Toyboxxx.

So I shall show "Le Port Aux Putes" {a|k|a "The Whore's Port"} (1983) this Saturday night at the Twisted Spoke. (It is Bastille Day.) A synopsis shall appear in this subject later.
What was J. B?naz?raf's first explicit videotape production? Was it "Visions of Lust"? Or this one, which was given a videotape-to-film transfer, and played in cinemas?
