Harking back to the cheapness and simplicity of early porn, BEYOND THE BLUE is a forgotten (and dated) effort that substitutes energy for quality. It's lurking out there among the most obscure titles for completists to sample.
Robin Byrd stars for a change (her hit access TV series was already on the air) in a silly story mocking political corruption and specifically (as the Trivia item denotes) the then-current anti-Gay campaign by singer Anita Bryant.
She conspires to bring down both the gov and the Bryant character (here named Bonita Ryan) by getting them caught in embarrassing in flagrante delicto situations. En route, Robin gives the gov (Alan Adrian) an inspiring blow job for good measure. Dolly (Beth Rosen, erstwhile porn actress who does look like a nice Jewish girl) keeps the governor busy while Ryan is seduced by two female reporters from the Ladies Home Journal.
SPOILER ALERT:
One joke is to have journey-woman Black actress Gloria Todd cast as Ryan, an effective mock in itself of the bible-thumping Southern belle Bryant. But the payoff is the obvious unveiling of the reporters as drag queens, as Todd sucks their cocks.
Film's opening has guest star Samantha Fox humping the governor as his mistress. The DVD reissue promotes Fox to starring status and omits any mention that Byrd is in the picture. How fleeting is fame!
Basically a no-budget farce, film's sex content is not arousing enough to get anyone excited, and the Anita Bryant connection is dated, dated, dated. There are so many right-wing nuts out there today take up Bryant's mantle (one of which might be our next president, God forbid) a new satire of this sort is needed.
