Love Dreams (1981)

The source DVD looks pretty good, but some scenes are slightly too dark. Comparing it to the Beate Uhse VHS, occasionally details visible on the VHS are lost in shadows on the DVD. The VHS has somewhat brighter and more vivid coloration, but the image is not as sharp. Regardless, the version posted here still looks nice, especially after denoising, and it's a lot sharper than the other English version I've seen posted.

I've already written a lot about this film in previous posts above, but after watching this again recently I wanted to add a wee bit more.

Love Dreams is one of six films that Alan Vydra made in the U.S. (He made most of his films in Europe, as the in-house producer for Beate Uhse.) The other five films were, like this one, all shot in and around San Francisco, with mostly American casts:

Extremes (1980)
Feels Like Silk (1983)
Golden Gate Girls (1985)
Golden Girls (1983)
Sound of Love (1980)

Vydra used a mix of well-known porn stars and first-timers. Every film seems to have one or more unknown beauties, or one-shot wonders. In Love Dreams, she's the cute, blonde daughter in the second household who seduces Julia and then joins in a threeway with Julia and Herschel. The wife in the third household is also an unknown never seen in any other film AFAIK, but unlike the first girl, she's not especially attractive. Her scene is pure comedy, but not erotic.

Trivia: the unusual house that is home to household #2 (probably in Marin County, just north and across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco) also appeared in the film Satisfactions (1982), in the last scene with Kay Parker, Laura Lazare, and R. Bolla.
