ROMANCE
(Kyle Stone) looks back on his life.
Time is flexible in Robbie’s memory, like when his
doorbell rings and his teenage girlfriend Ella Nova
is there with a cake wishing him happy birthday.
He dismisses her with an abrupt, “I can’t, Elizabeth
OOn his birthday, octogenarian WWII veteran Robbie
... you’re dead,” and she isn’t there any more as he
picks up his paper. Stone flips through a picture
album, remembering his lost opportunities with
women in his life, when he was a young man (Robby
Echo), rejected by Nova (“I’m just not ready. We
aren’t married.”) and romancing Casey Calvert.
Before shipping out to WWII, Robbie sends
Elizabeth a Dear Jane letter and she runs to see
him—but he’s already gone. Overseas, Robbie
moons over a picture of himself with Elizabeth, not
noticing (or not caring) as Ryan Driller and Katana
get it on nearby. On the home front, Nova marries
Michael Vegas, but rediscovers a picture of herself
with Robbie and—in a riveting, wordless sequence—
succumbs to depression and commits suicide by
jumping off a balcony.
Back in the present, Stone takes a heart-shaped
locket to Elizabeth’s grave and apologizes (“I’m sorry
it’s taken me so long to come and visit. But not a day
has gone by that I haven’t missed you.”) and when
he sleeps, he’s visited by Elizabeth, who asks him
to come along with her: “I’ve been waiting such a
long time.” The youthful Robbie sits up and they go
into a white netherworld. “Where are we?” he asks.
“Together,” she replies, and they finally get together,
after all the decades. Later that night, when Robbie’s
niece and her husband arrive to celebrate his birthday
with him ... even though the ending was telegraphed
a few minutes before, it still is a blow, and the final
shot is heartbreaking.
Love During Wartime Ella Nova (top), Seth Gamble and Maddy O’Reilly are living in the past in a romance from Stormy Daniels.
Screenwriter/director Stormy Daniels continues to build entire worlds out of a few well-chosen sentences of
dialogue. Most of the period simulations ring true and Daniels builds a full story with fleshed-out characters
and five sex scenes in a trim, economical 92 minutes. Also, Jake Jacobs and Andre Madness contribute evocative
cinematography, and kudos to editor Dick Chibbles, whose addition of close-ups of clocks and the sound of
ticking in many scenes makes time itself a character.
And a big nod to Kyle Stone for an acting performance of a lifetime.

D: Proxy Paige. Cast: Dominica Phoenix, Anna Rey, Alexis Crystal, Sasha
Zima, Christian Clay, Others. 182 Min.
CATEGORY: ANAL, FOREIGN NON-FEATURE
AAAA
Alexis Crystal comes to Christian Clay’s flat, saying
she needs a perfect dress. He measures her and has
her strip down before he tells her he broke up with his
boyfriend and he’s dating girls again. He tongue-dives
into her pussy and two-fingers her ass as she moans
theatrically. Recommended, especially for Euro-fans.
