Platinum Blonde
Tags: pornographic

Plot synopsis:
Stewart "Stew" Smith (Robert Williams), ace reporter for the Post, is assigned to get the story about the latest escapade of playboy Michael Schuyler (Donald Dillaway), a breach of promise suit by chorus girl Gloria Golden, who has been paid to drop it. Unlike rival Daily Tribune reporter Bingy Baker (Walter Catlett), he turns down a $50 bribe from Dexter Grayson (Reginald Owen), the Schuylers' lawyer, to not write anything. He does pretend to be swayed by the pleas of Anne (Jean Harlow), Michael's sister, but then brazenly calls his editor with the scoop, appalling the Schuylers.
Stew returns to the house to return a copy of Conrad he had taken from the Schuylers' library. The butler, Smythe (Halliwell Hobbes), tries to make him leave, but Anne sees him. Stew surprises Anne by presenting her with Michael's love letters to Gloria, who had intended to use them to extort more money from the Schuylers. Anne offers Stew a $5,000 check, which he refuses. She asks why he reported the suit, but not the love notes. Stew explains that one was news, the other, blackmail. He later tells her he is writing a play. Intrigued, Anne wonders if she can turn him into a gentleman. She invites him to a party at the house.
They fall in love and soon elope, horrifying Anne's widowed mother, Mrs. Schuyler (Louise Closser Hale), an imperious dowager who looks down on Stew's lower-class background. Michael takes it in stride, telling Stew he's not as bad as everyone thinks. The wedding is scooped by the rival Daily Tribune, enraging his editor, Conroy (Edmund Breese). Even more upset is Stew's best friend Gallagher (Loretta Young), a "sob sister" columnist secretly pining for him. Conroy taunts Stew as "a bird in a gilded cage." Despite his bravado, Stew is upset by the implication he is no longer his own man, vowing not to live on Anne's money. However, she cajoles him into moving into the mansion and starts to make him over, buying him garters (despite his objections) and hiring a valet, Dawson (Claud Allister).
When the Schuylers hold a reception for the Spanish ambassador, Gallagher substitutes for the society reporter and chats with Stew. Anne is surprised to learn that her husband's best friend (whom she had assumed was a man) is actually a lovely young woman and treats Gallagher icily. Then, Bingy tells Stew the Tribune will give him a column if he signs it "Anne Schuyler's husband." Insulted, Stew punches Bingy when he calls him Cinderella Man. The next morning, Mrs. Schuyler is aghast to find Stew's brawl has made the front page.
Wrestling with his play, Stew invites Gallagher and another friend, Hank (Eddy Chandler) from Joe's. They arrive with Joe and several bar patrons in tow and even Bingy shows up to apologize. A raucous party ensues. Meanwhile, Stew and Gallagher ponder the play, deciding to base it on Stew's marriage. Anne, Mrs. Schuyler, and Grayson return as the party is in full swing. Stew apologizes for letting the party get out of control, but protests that he can invite friends to "my house." Anne replies, "Your house?"
Stew returns with Gallagher to his own apartment. Along the way, he gives a homeless man his expensive garters. Grayson stops by to say Anne will pay him alimony, whereupon Stew punches him (earlier, Stew had warned Grayson that his twentieth insult would earn him a "sock to the nose"). Stew tells Gallagher the play could end with the protagonist divorcing his rich wife and marrying the woman whom he had always loved without ever realizing it. Overwhelmed, Gallagher hugs him.

Review: Absolute junk.
How anyone can find this piece of garbage remotely erotic is beyond me.
The women are almost weighed down with excess silicone as much as by the nonsenical 'story' and daft 'script.' It also has one of the most lacklustre girl on girl shower scenes ever put on celluloid.
The Director seems to have instructed the 'actresses' not to let any kiss last longer than 2 seconds and make the scene completely devoid of eroticism.
He not only succeeds wonderfully in this respect but with all the other scenes as well.
Is it only the Europeans who can make Erotica and the Americans Porn and soft porn rubbish?
I think I know the answer after sitting through this absolute junk..
Shauna's not that bad....but the movie's not that good either..
It's so amazing that Surrender Cinema continues to make such slipshod movies, even after they should have learned from their latest disasters.
"Platinum Blonde" could have been made much better than it was; as it is, there are only three reasons to watch this movie.
1) Shauna O'Brien in the first segment shows off her newly built boobs -- and contrary to others' opinions on this board, I find them quite lovely myself.
I personally liked her performance here; maybe not quite as committed in her sex scenes as some would like it (but I chalk that up to overexposure; she was just about her 7th film in 12 months), but generally adequate.
2) Holly Sampson as the lead role as Angela is very nice, especially when she breaks out the vibrator in the first segment.
3) Shannan Leigh in the third segment gave what I thought to be the best performance of the movie as the secretary seeking her inner slut.
Otherwise.....a typical dull Surrender product..
Plenty of sex and Angela's funny dialogue snag this film a B+..
This is a film I've wanted to see for a long time.
When it finally came on earlier tonight, I just couldn't miss it....and I'm glad I didn't.
"Platinum Blonde" has a non-linear storyline, but it has a common theme, which saved it from certain failure in my "Story" category.Through the opening credits, we see a hot-looking blonde stripping.
Not unusual for a softcore flick, right?
This blonde, however, is a Cupid.
Yes, a Cupid.
"Most people think of us as chubby little babies with bows and arrows who come around on Valentine's Day," Angela the Cupid (played by Holly Sampson) says in the opening scene, "but cupids come in different shapes and sizes."  Well, this cupid seems to have taken the right form--at least for a softcore sex film.
She'll be our host for this film, taking us through three different scenarios and the challenges she faces in order to get the right people together.The first story is about a lonely film editor who has the hots for Tawny (played by Shauna O'Brien), an actress in the film he's currently working on.
She has an overprotective, jealous type of boyfriend who's also the editor's boss, I think.
In comes Angela to work the poor guy into a frenzy.
In one scene, the guy walks in on Tawny and her boyfriend having sex in the bathtub.
Angela pops in with a funny quote.
"They make a cute couple, but I get the feeling they're just going through the motions," Angela says.
But after watching them have at it for a bit, she says, "But, I have to say.....those are some pretty good motions."  It seems that the editor doesn't know what to do with a woman, so Angela helps him, if you know what I mean.
After a good sex session with Angela, the editor has gathered up the strength to give Tawny a script he's been working on.
From there, it's a cakewalk.
She likes the script, she wants him to direct, they have sex to culminate things and the story ends.
(Story Grade: B+)Our second adventure features two brothers, one of whom is getting married to a woman named Mia (played by Mia; the writers sure weren't innovative with the character names, eh?).
Mia's fiance is a womanizer who sleeps with many different women behind her back, including Mia's maid-of-honor; his brother is an upstanding type who is in love with Mia, but doesn't want to betray his brother.
Angela comes to save the day.
Disguised as a wedding planner, she convinces the good brother to muster up enough courage to tell his brother off before he marries Mia. The night before the wedding, he and Mia have a revelation--they love each other.
The next day, the good brother tells his womanizing sibling off and he and Mia live happily ever after.
(Story Grade: B-)The third story is shorter, but much hotter.
Busty brunette Shannan Leigh is hidden behind glasses and frumpy clothes and plays Stella Crenshaw, a frustrated office worker who has a crush on her boss.
Angela pays her a visit, masquerading as a mailroom worker.
She encourages Stella to dress sexier and let her "inner seductress" out.
Angela uses her cupid magic to show Stella what she could be like if she used what she has to get what she wants in a not-too-shabby pool table scene.
We all know Shannan is gorgeous (see her performance in "Andromina: The Pleasure Planet", it's fantastic) and eventually she lets loose on a guy coming to her apartment to return her stray dog.
She let's down her hair and looks much, much better when she meets with her boss this time.
Her request for a transfer has been granted, and now she can do what she always wanted to do....sleep with her now-former boss.
Stella's "inner seductress" has been let out and now she wants to have sex with just about every guy she sees.
Great little story here.
(Story Grade: A)This film was not quite what I expected, but it was good nonetheless.
Shauna O'Brien, Mia and Shannan Leigh provided the babe-power this film needs to get a high "Women" grade, the sex was above average and the story as a whole was decent.
Angela had some funny quips during the film, which helps out the "Story" grade some.
This one was tapeworthy, if only for Shannan's part of the film.Women: A- (Shauna, Mia and Shannan were the principals involved here, and Holly Sampson wasn't bad either.
I liked Shannan Leigh in this film more than I did in Andromina.)Sex: B+ (Plenty of sex scenes, with Shauna's and Shannan's taking the cake.
Mia's sex scenes were decent, but not her best work.
Holly's lone sex scene was a winner with me.)Story: B+ (This is a composite of all three parts of the film.
Angela's funny dialogue throughout the film solidified the grade, but the non-linearity of the film made it tough for me to give it an A in this category.)Overall: B+ (A very good softcore flick.
However, it's debatable whether it's tapeworthy or not.
The overall grade was straddling the line between A- and B+, but Mia's segment of the film wasn't all that great, so I went with the lower of the two grades.).
June 14th, 2018.
My best Softcore scenes is Shauna O'Brien and Stella Porter doing their Lesbian Shower Scene.
Plus Shauna does her Sex scene with her doing Missionary Position on the bed making an orgasm, and Shannan Leigh doing her exotic dance showing her big implant boobs..
NOT TOO SHABBY.
The Ava Lake and  Shannon Leigh segments are very good but first you have to sit through a listless Shauna O'Brien with her malformed boobs.By the way, HollySampson has done some hardcore under the name of Nicholette.
Who would have thunk!
