We were very pleased to get not only the new version of this film, but the original version as well. Cleverly packaged together, it also contains a disc of bonus material from the new film. The aesthetics of the packaging do not provide the kind of insight into the films that most other DVD covers do. There is too much graphic design and verbiage on the front and back covers to induce a feeling of excitement just from looking at the packaging. True, that isn't a very important thing, but we do enjoy that feeling when it happens. Also, there are more than a few ads for penis enlargement, condoms, and phone-sex lines that precede the DVD menus on both the new film and bonus features discs.

While the original version does little to arouse the senses, it does give necessary context to the story line presented in the re-make. In fact, there are a few scenes in it that are better left unwatched, like a killing scene in a cheesy slasher flick from the same era. Not having much experience with vintage porn, the choice of performers and their grooming came as a bit of a shock. How this film came to be regarded as one of the best examples of quality adult entertainment is a bit of a mystery to us. Hopefully not all adult films from this era suffered from the same issues. Criticisms aside, this dual-version set proves that the adult film industry has come a very long way in a few decades.

The re-make however is packed with a variety of titillating vignettes to excite even the most frigid viewers while staying true to the basic story and plot. Where the original film seems to cut in and out of sex scenes at just the wrong time, making it fairly difficult to understand or find interest in the story, the new version flows well from scene to scene. Nothing feels interrupted, rushed, or excessive. Certainly a movie you'll want to watch from beginning to end, and repeatedly!

Savanna Samson stars as Miss Jones, a recently deceased virgin who, upon learning her fate of spending eternity in hell, begs the devil (Miss Devlin, played by Jenna Jameson) for one more day on earth. She is granted this final wish, under provision that she experiences as many sins of the flesh as she can. We especially liked the cameo appearance by Georgina Spelvin (the original Miss Jones), but don't worry, she doesn't do any of the devil's bidding here! There is something in this film to please almost any taste, from the classic missionary to the no-hold-barred velvet underground, no genre is left out. There are multiple scenes of anal, oral, girl-on-girl and even some girl-in-girl action! Many of the sexual encounters also end with beautiful busty chests covered in cum. Watch for Savanna's double penetration scene which pays homage to the original film, as she recounts the same dialogue word for word that Georgina Spelvin excitedly uttered under the same circumstances so many years before. She discusses the challenges of this scene in detail as part of the bonus material on disc two. Yoga bodies will recognize some positions adapted for use as impressive and amusing feats of fucking. Look for the twist in the end, and we don't just mean in positions!

The bonus features disc included in this set is fairly standard, including interviews with performers and the director, as well as some behind-the-scenes footage. A nice addition were the several bonus scenes not found in the feature film.
