The plethora of "real" movies with sex made in America is a testament to the insecurity of adult film producers, who wanted to be considered directors rather than sleazeballs, and also the pernicious effect of decades of court rulings based on bizarre concepts like "serious artistic merit" and "redeeming social value." A sex film about a couple in love is far likelier to be a good film than a sex movie about political corruption, so the more "serious artistic merit" a sex film has, the less "redeeming social value" it is likely to have!

Anyway, Veronica Hart (the best actress of the US adult film stars - she's even in some real movies) plays Amanda, a classy call-girl stalked by a killer. Two of her co-workers are murdered after visiting a client and a detective is brought in who feels that the cases are linked and that Amanda is also in danger.

THE HARD ROAD Starring JOHN ALDERMAN, CATHERINE HOWARD, GARY KENT, LIZ RENAY, and introducing CONNIE NELSON as "Pam" Directed and photographed by GARY GRAVER 85 minutes/1970 color. A teenage girl drowns in cheap sex and dangerous drugs while stumbling down THE HARD ROAD! After giving up her baby for adoption, 17-year-old Pam realizes "she can never be a kid again," so embarks on a career as a Hollywood tramp. She also climbs a billboard while high on grass, hooks up with hippies, shacks up with a junkie named Jimmy, and gets "a serious communicable disease." But when Jimmy is busted and freaks out in jail, Pam drops acid and makes like an airplane in the middle of a highway.... Wow. Not only is THE HARD ROAD an incredible late-sixties time capsule, but ten exploitation films rolled into one! And remember: Tonight, Romance! Tomorrow, Regret!

"An angelic girl named Sharon (Sandy Summers) listens as her mother (Nina Hartley) and stepfather Ken (Eric Edwards) make love all night. Four years later, she arrives at Ken's San Francisco doorstep, invading his new life with Rita (Maggie Randall), since she can no longer get along with her real mom. Trying to get her mind off her ex stepfather's love life (she now watches instead of just listens), she takes in a sleazy San Francisco North Beach sex show and on a second trip becomes a willing part of the "audience participation. Is she an innocent or a conniving manipulating minx with a haunting secret?"

Light and very well produced porn about a man hired to seduce and disgrace a number of women. McCallum's professional camerawork and editing style make this a technical standout; it looks similar to many late 1970s films like NIGHT MOVES.
