My Sinful Life (1983) Review

My Sinful Life (1983) Poster

Stepping out of our time machine we showed up to 1983. This is a cool year for many reasons, especially since our editor was boring in 1983, and well, he’s an idiot. Today we are going to be visiting the time frame to see a movie called “My Sinful Life”. This is a movie that was directed by Carlos Tobalina, and it was distributed by Caballero Home Video. The movie stars Danielle, Rita Ricardo, Don Fernando, Tom Byron, D.J. Cone, Brooke Fields, Helga Sven, and Nick Niter. Most of these stars are not seen in other movies, with the exception of Tom Byron. Of all of the stars that I’ve reviewed on a regular basis, Tom Byron is in a ton of movies, and hell, I’d love an opportunity to interview him extensively. In fact, I hope he writes a book detailing so many stories in this business, because wow, he’s the man. I’d love to shake the guy’s hand. Anyways, let’s go to 1983 and look at the adult film, “My Sinful Life”. I was lucky to get a remastered HD edition of this, and it truly is shot on FILM and looks amazing, for those that find it in HD and remastered. I’m desperately impressed.

We open up with a couple of blondes talking about staying at a nice house. It’s nothing too complicated, and the dialogue is laughable at best. Of course, we don’t watch these movies for the acting. The dialogue works well, and it’s about a young woman that wants to get a degree in college. Then the blonde reveals something crazy, that she’s been sleeping with her folks! The ultimate taboo! I kid you not!

The first major sex scene starts with a shower scene. Well, it’s a bath and It features our blonde, a brunette, and a silver haired man. The actors here include Danielle, Rita Ricardo, and Don Fernando. The water runs as the couple start to masturbate and kiss the blonde, and she’s a bit younger than the couple. A soft song plays, and they seem to have a bit of fun. It’s a traditional bathroom looking set, mind you, and our blonde-haired woman has small breasts, a tight body, and is not shaved. The shower scene doesn’t really last long, and then we are back to the conversation.

The conversation keeps going forward about how this young lady is getting action with her relatives, and then they go back to a bedroom where things get started again.

For this second sex scene, a minor interaction with soft music, we see Rita Ricardo and Danielle. Rita Ricardo is a brunette, Hispanic looking lady, and she gives head to the blonde young woman for this scene. The music is terrible, but the HD remastering makes the visuals great, and you can barely see the film grain here. It’s truly a movie that was shown in theaters, that’s for sure. After some oral Don Fernando shows up and starts to get into the action. He gets hard and then goes right into the blonde, while the brunette watches and massages a little. He doesn’t get super hard at first, but it grows, and then he starts to push into the blonde. If you’re a fan of no condoms, and no shaving at all, then you’ll like this sequence as no one is shaved, and there’s a minimal amount of music and noise. But right when we get to the sex, we end up back to the conversation. Then back to the sex. It’s a slow moving scene, with very limited camera changes and angle changes, but with good shadows, blocking, and a bedroom set that looks a bit like an old motel. As the conversation continues, in comes Tom Byron. Tom Byron and Rita Ricardo start to get down with some oral to start. This is all spliced into the conversation, and it is just a simplified sexual romp. Byron is young here, and he’s shaved, as he gets into 69 with Ricardo. After some exchanging of partners, the foursome all get into the action and have sex, and it finishes with Byron cumming on Ricardo’s backside, in slow motion which is an interesting shot of the action. In fact, it’s one of the most unique finishes that I’ve seen in porn movies in a long time, and was impressed with how it all worked out. Slow motion finish, nice. The music is turned down for some of the action, and there’s a bit of moaning, but not too much. As far as hardcore is concerned, this is a visually striking sex scene, although there’s very little chemistry between the performers. I take that back, there’s a money shot with Don Fernando as well, and he’s not as well endowed as Tom Byron, or at least it doesn’t look that way because he has a full pubic hair bush.

The opening sequence of sex isn’t too bad, mind you. It’s ok. We find out that Danielle here is adopted and that it’s not incest that is going on with them and her family. It’s interesting. We then move forward to the conversation about registering for college, and that’s about it. We see a shot of the city, which I can’t tell where it is, but am assuming it’s Los Angeles, or San Francisco, not sure. Then we just see a couple of ladies walking around. The movie is a bit odd, going from high sexual tension, to hardcore, to just B-footage.

After the walking around we see Danielle talking to a redheaded lady that she’s staying with and that’s it. We then move forward to talking between a new Danielle talking to her friend that she met at school. She then discusses how she makes money, and talks about how she’s a prostitute. That’s right, she’s an escort and she sells it. We then get a cut to the brothel. This is a classic throwback to an old sex parlor, and the two discuss women and brothels. The dialogue is simple, and we hear a discussion about the past.

At the 34 minute mark, we are taken to the brothel where our blonde haired star and her new friend are having sex with a patron at the brothel. This set has cheap wallpaper, and it’s obviously bad. The scene shows off the skills of each woman, starting with a blow job that is quite passionate from our curly haired friend. The new woman here is Brooke Fields, and she has very curly hair, a tight young body, and medium size breasts. I’m not sure who the guy is, but he’s one lucky guy as he gets blown and then gives oral to another while in the same bed at the brothel. He’s getting a 2 for 1 special here. We see the sex starting to get good, but we end up getting a cut scene to where Tom Byron is caught with his pants down.

The sex in the brothel gets cut, and we see Tom Byron starting to get blown by D.J. Cone. D.J. Cone is a redheaded milf looking woman, and of course Byron looks very young. This doesn’t get too far into the sex before we get a cut scene and are back at the brothel. There’s light music when things start to get heated there.

I hate when the director cuts in the middle of a sex scene to go to another sex scene, but that’s exactly what is going on here. We see a mix of things, and then we get a close up of what’s going on at the house with Cone and Byron. So interspliced with the brothel, we get a single sex scene, and it’s back and forth. The brothel sex is a bit tame, quiet, and slow, then the director goes to the house and we see Byron pushing into Cone and she moans a bit loudly, before we are then sent back to the brothel for the money shot ending. The client cums on the girls faces, and looks like he could be Jeff Goldblums brother, then we are sent back to the house where Cone and Byron are doing it doggy style. Cone moans a bit, and she has a knockout body. She has a garter and nylons, and it’s a high quality sexual romp until in comes Danielle and Brooke Fields!

After the sex is over, we go back to B-footage of the two girls walking around, then going to the brothel and talking. We see the brothel women talking to the hostess, and that’s it. We just see them talking about how tired they are and more.

After about 55 minutes of randomness, we get thrown into an orgy at the same room we saw the other action in at the brothel. Here we see Brooke Fields, D.J. Cone, Danielle, Helga Sven, Nick Niter, Tom Byron and a guy that I can’t name. They all look different, and they are all going to get into the action, and it’s fast paced. Within a few minutes a funky bassline starts and we start to get into the sex. AT first, the loudest woman is Hegla Sven. Sven is an older woman here, with blonde hair, and a moan that shows off that she’s really getting into the sex. This doesn’t last long, the orgy kind of ends and we are back to b-roll.

After the quick B-roll we end up seeing Helga Sven, an older looking dude, and Danielle back in the frame at the brothel. They all start kissing and lead the way to a threeway sex scene. The guy here doesn’t have a name, but he’s older, is balding, has grey hair everywhere, and the music gets turned up way loud when he enters Danielle. There’s some moaning here, but overall, it’s a bit tame. IT’s visually ok, but overall, you can see that there’s some musical dubbing going on.

After the sex, we are taken back to the brothel where we find out that Danielle’s mom and dad are the brothel owners and one of the patrons. We then get taken to B-roll and we hear a song about loving siblings, and it’s gross. The city in question is San Francisco, and the lyrics to the song are insane, and the movie ends.

I give “My Sinful Life” a 2 out of 5.

It was interesting to see the updated feature. This is shot in 35MM and looks amazing. Aside from that, it’s still a porno, and while the story sucks, the sex isn’t that grand. There’s only a few bright spots in the sex, and it doesn’t last nearly as long as you’d expect. It’s just awful. I can’t give this more of a rating, but as far as a golden era feature, I think it works. It’s an interesting history piece, and popcorn porno film that isn’t too hardcore, but still shows off insertion and cum shots. It’s fascinating, but not that sexy.

Here’s the cool thing about “My Sinful Life”, you can purchase this remastered DVD as a double feature with Las Vegas Girls, by clicking here!
