Those of you unlucky enough not to own a laserdisc copy of this video calendar are missing one of the best Playboy videos in terms of beauty and production values. Two Texas gals and one Canadian gal set the pace early, and establish the high standard for sensuous presentation throughout the video. Ms. Bockrath is one of the loveliest blondes to ever grace the pages of Playboy. Here she is at her most beautiful, prancing around a house, and sponging her body in a tub. The other Texan, Karen Foster, would later be featured in her own Video release, with Deborah Driggs. Suffice it to say, you have never met a blonde baton twirler with the physical assets of Karen. In between is Canadian superwoman Peggy McIntaggart. She looks like a Greek goddess, really. The blue-lit sequence with her in bed is more erotic than anything you will see out of Hollywood. The remaining playmates are all wonderful, too. Lisa Matthews would go on to become playmate of the year. Renee Tennison was the reigning pmoy. The video closes with a delightful sequence involving Jacqueline Sheen. Wearing a derby and a black vest, she is disrobed by men(?) wearing white gloves, each attempting to touch her supple, warm body. You have never seen a cabaret number like this, and you probably never will in a film. But Playboy videos are another matter. The best are in a class by themselves. You don't need to watch them because of their power to arouse; you watch them to appreciate female beauty in visually stunning, mood-inspiring settings. L'art de la femme, 10+++.
