Has It's Moments

Penthouse worked with some prolific photographers / directors over the years. Phillip Mond was one of them. Of course, we tune in for beautiful women, but capturing them correctly is at least half the battle. After a standard montage intro you get to see and hear the man as he photographs busty blonde Angel Hart.

She gets the first scene wearing a green bustier in a room featuring a harp. There's an explicit close-up (2 mins). Now Angel sits in front of a piano with her boobs popping out of her bustier looking fantastic (almost 3 mins). Now Kalani sits outdoors in a yellow dress. Initially a lot of focus is spent on licking her breasts. Then multiple spreads. I'm not familiar with Kalani, but this scene certainly got my attention (5 mins).

Angel and Brooke Lane are in the everglades on an airboat. I had high hopes for this duo, but the concept doesn't work. There's the odd good shot, but this girl/girl isn't able to deliver the hotness these ladies can provide and it goes on too long (7.5 mins). Shawn Young wearing a green wig cleans her muscle truck. There's some nice shots of her especially when water comes into play (4.5 mins).

Nikie St. Gilles - Pet of the Year 1999 - at a pool provides a spread. Now she's inside in blue lingerie posing. Then back to the pool in a bikini for more stripping (6 mins). We rejoin Kalani in a jungle print bikini (almost 4 mins). It doesn't match the quality of her first appearance. Back to Angel & Brooke briefly on the airboat before making out on land. These ladies are hot but pretending to give oral is only good for so long (8 mins).

Back to Shawn in the same muscle truck and trailer setup as before. She poses in the grass (4 mins). Then emerges from the trailer in a tight rubber dress and a purple wig (3 mins). Blonde stunner Angel Hart is back solo outside in a see thru plastic top and pants that never come off completely (5 mins).

'The World of Phillip Mond' is a decent Penthouse title. It jumps around a bit and the two girl/girl scenes aren't great. However it's not too artsy and the explicit content fans loved of this era of softcore Penthouse can be found within.

Beautiful models in tiresome video

Philip Mond is a not-yet-forgotten auteur who once rode high in artsy porn circles with "Zazel" and "Insexts". This tedious 10-part exercise for Penthouse reminds me of those hundreds of look-alike Playboy videos I sat through in the '80s and '90s, courtesy of review copies dutifully sent to me by Playboy or HBO.

I watched this one to see Angel Hart, dolled up and glamorized as expected, among 5 very attractive women posing for Mond's camera. His later work reminded me of music videos and like Michael Ninn, that genre would appear to be his forte.

Nothing to write home about, and instantly dated, like all this art-porn of the last century.
