Unless you were watching pornography in the late 1970s and 1980s, you've probably never heard of Seka. However, millions of fans of X-rated productions idolized this blonde bombshell, who reportedly appeared in more than 100 skin flicks (brief, occasionally explicit, clips of which are included here). Filmmakers Magnus Paulsson and Christian Hallman's search for Seka (born Dorothea Patton) is anything but desperate, as she is not only easily located living in Chicago, but more than available to discuss her life and times in blue movies. So, it's a shame that so much of the film is wasted on the alleged hunt for Seka and for less-than-illuminating commentary on her appeal from the likes of porn star-turned-reality TV celebrity Ron Jeremy and former Screw magazine publisher Al Goldstein. Unlike other porno stars who were eager to cash in on a mainstream crossover, Seka was less than impressed with the so-called legitimate cinema--even to the point of rejecting a cameo in a high-profile mainstream movie because the fee was too low for her. Seka not only still maintains the striking physical beauty that enchanted her fan base years ago, but she's also a frank, earthy, and entertaining raconteur who knows how to spin a tale (hopefully, other filmmakers will bring Seka back to the screen in a non-porn film that showcases her beauty and intellect). DVD extras include a commentary track, deleted scenes, and extended interviews. Optional. Aud: P. (P. Hall)
