Soft (and later hard) porn purveyor Jerry Denby (Honey), who earlier in his life had been awarded the Purple Heart for injuries suffered in the Korean War, invoked an earlier armed conflict, America's Civil War, for his 1970 non-epic Pleasure Plantation. "Tara" it ain't. The hedonistic Hunt family of Virginia, too busy brawling and balling to turn a profit, are no match for their scheming older sister and her depraved plan to wrest the plantation from their drunken, whore-mongering grasp. The Hunts are portrayed by unknowns except for adult film star Kim Pope (Memories Within Miss Aggie) as the family's mentally challenged younger sister. Also featured are lovable Linda Boyce from Michael Findlay's Mnasidika as a saloon girl and svelte Sheila Britt (Shoot-out at Beaver Falls) as a full-service maid (named "Prissy" in a feeble nod to a certain Victor Young box-office blockbuster). Astute viewers may notice that the titular "plantation" sports a sixties-style mailbox. Pleasure Plantation was profiled in the March 1972 issue of Rascal magazine and was once available on VHS and DVD-R from Something Weird Video.
