Pornography and daytime soap operas have a lot in common in terms of subject matter -and WILD DALLAS HONEY exploits that fact. Talented screenwriter Jeffrey Fairbanks (who wrote several classics for Bob Chinn) takes the director's chair successfully.
Story revolves around Honey Wilder and her unsympathetic hubby Eric Edwards (wearing a mustache this time out). Wilder's carrying a torch for her previous beau Randy West, seen just getting out of prison in the opening scene.
Along the way, before a happy ending that sorts out all the melodrama, Wilder is comforted by her lesbian gal pal, well-played by Sharon Mitchell. Edwards' first wife Shana shows up, a scene-stealing Anna Ventura, billed here early in her career as "Jasmine DuBois". Brooke West also makes a strong impression paired with Randy West.
Tigr guest stars as a country singer at the local Water Wheel honky-tonk, and is alluring but oddly recites her lines as if by rote in an otherwise quite well-acted movie.
The twists and turns of the plot make for an overlong (93 minutes on DVD) opus, and the corniness of it all was a big drawback for me. But it is an important showcase at the outset of her career for Honey Wilder, poised to star as an iconic MILF in the all-time classic TABOO II, re-teamed with Edwards.
