Cunning Stunts

Its title is color-coded to help reveal the dirty anagram it contains, and "Cunning Stunts" underscores Harmony Films' lesser-known BDSM director Strangelove's talent for kinky content. It's a worthy successor to the oh-so-similar work of the label's premier helmer, Tanya Hyde.

The five segments, running nearly 4 hours long, feature the standard genre accoutrements ranging fetish gear and even a penis-pump to medical instruments fetish action -all that's missing is the usual array of oddball masks (including that British favorite left over from the World Wars, gas masks).

Ian Tate has the most to do in the big-dicked stud department, while a bevy of busty British beauties provides the prurient interest. I especially enjoyed Tanya Tate styled with a Gibson Girl hourglass figure. She is clearly the biggest name in the cast and proves once again why she is so highly regarded in the industry, handling a threesome involving Jay Snake (aka Jay R.) with aplomb.

Not for all tastes, but a solid example of why London's Harmony Films deserves its loyal following, and how it consistently created invigorating porn far more interesting than the competing but wimpy U.S. soft-core fetish outfit Harmony Concepts.
