The Tale of Tiffany Lust

About This Movie

The Tale of Tiffany Lust is quite the curious comedy from 1981, wrapped in a bizarre blend of adult humor and social commentary. It drags you through Betty’s wild schemes as she pushes her client Tiffany into the spotlight of a radio show. The premise of fulfilling listeners' dreams is pretty intriguing, yet Tiffany's own journey becomes a mirror reflecting her chaotic marriage. The pacing meanders a bit, but the practical effects, while not heavy, add to its quirky charm. Performances are a mixed bag, with some moments that feel genuine amidst the laughable situations. There's something distinctive about how it tackles infidelity, making you chuckle even as it elicits a few uncomfortable thoughts about relationships.

This film remains somewhat of a rarity in collector circles, often overshadowed by more mainstream comedies of its time. Originally released in limited formats, it's not frequently seen in good condition, which adds to its allure for serious collectors. While the VHS market has some copies floating around, the quest for a pristine print on film really sparks interest among enthusiasts. Its odd mix of humor and adult themes has carved out a niche following, making it an intriguing addition for those who appreciate the eccentricities of early '80s cinema.
