Three upper-middle-class suburban housewives secretly harbor a sexual past they aren't proud of and hide from their respective husbands. At a very specific moment, the trio of friends receive a call from Alexandra (voiced by Stephanie Rogers), a close childhood friend of their husbands, with whom they formed a recurring high school clique, and whom they've always heard about but never met in person, threatening the three of them with a public reveal of their dirty laundry at a party they're planning to throw under a charity guise. Alexandra also announces that she will leave their lives forever that very night, taking one of their husbands with her. The women's feelings of guilt give rise to numerous exciting erotic episodes, in the form of flashbacks, throughout the film.
Incredibly well directed by the irregular Tim McDonald under the photography supervision of Larry Revene, and produced by the legendary David Friedman, "Alexandra" represents an unusual paradigm in porn, and is an adult version of Joseph Leo Mankiewicz's delicious 1949 classic "Letter to Three Wives”. What's pleasantly surprising is how faithful this version remains to the original, faithfully reproducing the characters and situations, redirecting it towards the adult genre. The dramatic performances of each actress are commensurate with their own talent in the realm of fornication, and the barely of age Jennifer (a Lauren Wilde who disappeared a year later) practically monopolizes the film's spotlight as a supposed gold digger who ends up discovering true love for her middle-aged husband. Actresses Joanna Storm and Rachel Ashley, both in the early stages of their astronomical careers, already showed great potential that was reinforced in their subsequent projects.
