Traci Lords 's final adult film and also the only legal (American) film to be made while she was over the age of 18. It was produced inCannes ,France , two days after her 18th birthday, making it the only one legally available in theUnited States , due tochild pornography laws.This movie has been another aspect of controversy to Lords' life. It was the third and final film by her then self-titled production company. She had sold the rights, profiting from her former profession post-scandal, while consistently regretting making adult films and criticizing the porn industry.
In her 2003 autobiography, "Traci Lords: Underneath It All", she explained:
"I sold that fucking movie for a period of ten years and with it bought myself some shelter from the storm. It was an agonizing decision, and one that made me a harder person, but it had to be done. I hated the fact that I made it possible for someone to go into a video store and rent it. But selling that film gave me some control over my life."
In the film, Lords is still the reigning queen of "good girl gone bad." A French film festival is the setting, where Traci discovers true love and the ultimate sex adventure. This is a story of a glamor photographer's fixation with a beautiful model named Traci. He finds her image to be the very essence of sensuality. She finally agrees to pose for him and they begin a love affair, where he helps her to explore her sexuality through his underworld connections.
