I admit I was intrigued when "Marie and Jack" dropped into my mailbox. The concept of combining documentary style interviewing with a sex scene fascinated me, as did the subject matter. Jack and Marie are two up-and-coming adult movie stars who also happen to be married to each other. I can already hear you asking, “How can that work? Is it really possible to still have a fulfilling sex life even when both parts of a couple work within the adult industry?” That's what the director, Tony Comstock, set out to explore, according to the cover.

As the film began to unfold, I felt an immediate connection with both the stars. They seemed honest, open, and sincere as they talked. Neither were A-typical, stereotyped porn stars. They both talked candidly about how they married, being in the industry, and having a relationship of their own. You couldn't help but get a sense of their togetherness as they talked. Marie was almost shy on screen, which only endeared her to me more, and Jack had a sense of humor that shone through. By the end of the interview I felt like I could take both of them home to meet my Mother without any worries. They brought up many points and answered many questions that I had asked myself for many years about working in the industry.

The interview was interspersed with erotic glimpses of the lovemaking scene that was to follow. This was not a porn movie in any sense of the word - no make up or coiffed hair, no corny music or false breasts. Instead the focus was on the human aspect of this couple making love, and you could sense they were making love and not simply performing for a camera. There was no pretense, no extra props, just simply two people enjoying the sensations that pure lovemaking can produce, when each partner is fully comfortable with the other. The camera angles helped create this image in my mind as well, with a well thought out variety of close ups and long shots, occasional trips back to the interview really gave me a sense of who Jack and Marie were. What singled this out movie was that they are a deeply sensual and erotic couple that knew what one another liked, and they were truly in tune with each other.

I had only one real complaint about "Marie and Jack.' It left me wanting more! Thirty minutes just wasn't long enough. The film left me with a deep sense of wanting to see more of this type of film on the market. It wasn't surprising for me to later learn that "Marie and Jack" had won several awards. As someone who has reviewed many videos this was a refreshing change to watch and something that I think many women would enjoy. If your looking for a simple jerk film, this is definitely not for you. But, if you're looking for an intimate portrayal and almost a voyeuristic view into someone else's sex life then this is a film for you.
