Mascara Review
Directed by Henri Pachard. Released by Sendy Film Corporation in 1983. Available on DVD from Vinegar Syndrome. Runtime: 83 minutes.

Harriet (Lisa DeLeeuw) is a secretary for T & A Imports. Bored with her sexual life, she seeks help from Lucy (Lee Carroll), a high end of whose services her boss is a regular. Lucy helps Harriet experience some of her sexual fantasies. A fairly basic story, but it includes an open-ended finale. Story Grade: B.

This feature was shot on film. Medium Grade: A.

Real locations were used in and around New York City. A single condominiums may have been used for multiple locations within the film since the decor seemed similar. Set Design Grade: A-.

There were few close-ups of penetration. Harriet kept her shoes on during her encounter with Jim and Bob. During that scene, Lee Carroll also looked at the camera. Otherwise, sexual performances seemed enthusiastic. Sexual Performances Grade: B.

The acting was fairly strong by the entire ensemble. Lucy calling out for Harriet at the entrance of an elevated train station was unrealistic. Acting Grade: A-.

The wardrobe and make-up were very good. The last blue dress on Harriet was particularly fetching. Wardrobe/Make-up Grade: A.

C-light movement was perceived during the hot tub scene between Tiffany Clark and Ron Jeremy. The shadows in Harriet's bedroom in the Jim & Bob scene seemed to have been caused by an unknown light source. Lighting Grade: B+.

Most sex scenes were devoid of music. The sound in the lower level of Lucy's apartment sounded cavernous. Sound Grade: B.

There was a longer than necessary pause during the telephone conversation between Lisa DeLeeuw and Tiffany Clark at the beginning of the film. The bar scene ended abruptly. When Lucy makes a phone call from a payphone, the phone being called only rings once, and it is unclear whether she is calling her own apartment or Harriet's. Otherwise, the director, Henri Pachard, did a fine job. Directing Grade: A-.

The background music during the elevated train sequences sounded mysterious, which didn't quite fit the tone of the film's story, but it was good nevertheless. The film looked and sounded professionally made. Artistic Merit Grade: A.

Overall Grade: A-.
