Cinderella's Hot Night (4 Stars)

Fred Olen Ray's Retromedia has released two films by Dean McKendrick on a Blu-ray called "Frisky Fairy Tales". That's a suitable title, if anything an understatement. The characters in the films pull off their clothes at the slightest encouragement.

Dean McKendrick directed 23 films for Retromedia from 2013 to 2018. His career as a director began and ended with Retromedia. A few years ago, while he still worked for Retromedia, I spoke to him on a forum and suggested that I interview him for my blog. He said he was interested, but then he disappeared without anything ever happening. I hope he's reading this post, because I'm still interested in doing an interview.

Dean McKendrick made 14 erotic comedies, seven erotic thrillers and two erotic fairy tales. His erotic comedies were a direct continuation of the films made in the Medina collection. I have mixed feelings about his erotic thrillers. Some of them were quite good, but I don't think that the usual Retromedia 81-minute format was suitable for erotic thrillers. They should have been two hours long to develop a good story.

20. High Heel Homicide (2017)
21. Kiss and Kill (2017)
22. Illicit Desires (2018)
23. Bedroom Eyes (2018)

Films 1 to 14 are erotic comedies. Films 15 to 17 and 20 to 23 are erotic thrillers. Films 18 and 19 are erotic fairy tales.

I've been bugging Fred Olen Ray for the last few years to release all of the Retromedia erotic comedies on Blu-ray, but he's moving very slowly. I have no doubt that he'd release them all if he were sure that they would be a financial success. I understand him. He needs to pay the bills, like everyone else. So far he's playing it safe. Christine Nguyen is a popular actress, so he's releasing films with her first. Okay, that's better than nothing, but she's in less than half of the films (14 out of 32 Medina films, 8 out of 23 McKendrick films). All of his films are good and worth a Blu-ray release.

The Frisky Fairy Tales Blu-ray is no longer available. Does that mean it's a success? I hope so.
