Erotic coming of age flick
This is an erotic coming of age film set in 1958 in the central valley in California.I believe the whorehouse is the big mansion in Isleton that is rented out even today for fraternity formals like the one I attended there in 1985. It has been used in numerous adult films.

Blue McDonald is the teenage daughter to a jazz horn player ( played by Tom Skerrit) who is hooked on heroin. His addiction kills him and Blue is left to fend for herself and falls into the hands of a madame known as Elle.

Blue tries to make herself immune to what she is doing and suceeds- until a boy comes in. A boy she has seen twice before with her father and then on her own.A boy who just sees her as a girl, a girl he wants to know more. Not the whore she is now.

After a disturbing incident with a senator intent on making her the star of a blue flick- Blue is rescued by her madame's muscle nicely underplayed by Robert Davi ( from The Profiler). They leave town so BLue can live a normal life as a high school student- and pick up a real relationship with the boy she likes. Of course the path to love is not smooth....her past comes to haunt her.

Eroticism not gratuitous nudity is the theme- the sex scenes are shot with beautiful camera angles- there is minimal full nudity. Some artful shots in the whorehouse of the various girls working with their clients- very strong voyeuristic angles. As a woman I find the scenes more sensual than sexual- guys may not find the film more than slightly titillating. As typical of Zalman Kings Red Shoe Diaries- this movie plays well for women who enjoy sexuality and sensuality but need a storyline and some acting to sell the whole package.

Wild Orchid 2 is nothing like Wild Orchid with Carrie Otis and Mickey O'Roarke. This does stand on its own as long as you take it for what it is.

Tragic Zalman King erotica
Zalman King follows up the sizzling Wild Orchid with a sequel that is not a sequel, it's about completely different characters in a different setting. But that's OK, I guess it's a sequel of subject matter, in the same way he produces his Red Shoe Diaries series. And this movie does succeed as a tale about misbegotten lovers trapped in a mire of loss and sexual confusion.
I didn't appreciate the attractive Nina Siemaszko (who later appeared in a Red Shoe Diaries episode) the first time I saw her in the role of the tragic heroine of this story. She kind of disappointed after Carre Otis, but you do sympathize with her situation. She and her dad are smalltown southern people. They are very close, then he dies and she is left penniless and without any skills. Enter the madam of the bordello played by Wendy Hughes. She offers Nina a chance at riches and sexual liberation by becoming one of her girls. Nina reluctantly accepts.
She is introduced to a world of sexual deviancy that is not without its victims, as there are girls who try to leave this life and are punished. She plays two roles to one of her young clients, that of mysterious and seductive prostitute, and that of sweet young girl who has fallen in love with him. That he can't tell it's the same person is ludicrous, but it's for the sake of the story. Naturally, family disapproval and heartache follows.
I appreciated Nina Siemaszko more eight or so years after seeing this movie the first time. The unrated version does show a bit more flesh, but is not necessary to appreciate the story.
