Review: Pink Champagne
By Tod Hunter

A '70s Golden Age movie set in Hollywood in the '20s, "Pink Champagne" takes a look at movie star April (the impossibly buxom Lisa De Leeuw) and her consort, producer Mr. Zagfield (Jon Steele).
Everybody's doing it at the studio — one wonders how they manage to make any movies — with April catching a couple getting together in her dressing room, Mr. Zagfield "auditioning" a dancer in his office and Zagfield's secretary bent over her desk as she calls her boss.
After work, at a bordello, April gets together with a guy dressed as Valentino as Zagfield watches her — and others — through a peephole before he gets together with "Mae West."
"A tinseltown fantasy come true," April says.
In classic '70s tradition, the film ends with a full-cast orgy, and like the '20s movies it spoofs, this is followed with a Busby Berkeley-style musical number.
Production values are excellent, with music, props and locations worthy of a low-budget mainstream movie of the '70s. Joke-filled script and occasional speeded-up scenes are amusing as well. Watch for industry veterans Bill Margold, John Stagliano and Ron Jeremy.
