"Sex Sells: The Making of Touché"
Jonathan Liebert's "Sex Sells: The Making of Touché" is a mildly amusing comedy about the vicissitudes of shooting porn that has little of the grit, sleaze and uncertainty that is the lot of the veteran pornographer striving for professionalism more often than not against all odds. The vet porn-maker of "Sex" is a breezy, avuncular guy (Mark DeCarlo), a film nut with a studio and stock company of his own, which despite various mishaps, can be pretty accurately described as one big happy family. Providing the film's point of view is Jay Michael Ferguson's remarkably naive Bernard, who is making a documentary of what is to be DeCarlo's final porno. "Sex Sells," which Liebert wrote and directed with skill and pace, is primarily a good-natured showcase for its likable cast, with a notably sharp turn by Priscilla Barnes as a canny longtime porn star. With Lisa Jay, Jack Kyle and Adrian Zmed.
