REVIEW of "Casanova"
Directed by F.J. Lincoln
Sin City Video
Starring: Rocco Siffredi, Tabatha Cash, Flame, Tracy West, Sky Blue, Randy West
Tina Tyler, and Bridgette Monroe
It's fairly rare for a male porn star to get top billing in the "mainstream"
video market, but Rocco Siffredi is one of those who can, and he gets it in
"Casanova". Rocco has the title role, although it's not quite clear if he's
supposed to be *the* Casanova or a descendant with the family "charms". Tabatha
Cash (a caramel-skinned, full-lipped french beauty) plays his sister, also
with the power to woo anyone she desires.
That's the premise -- there's not really a discernible plot. So we open with
Rocco, Randy and Skye talking in Rocco's office, Randy being Rocco's friend.
In rapid succession Skye and then Tracy West proceed to politely rebuff the
Rocman's offers of lunch/dinner, leaving him puzzled and worried that he's los-
ing his charms.
But we discover why he fails with Skye and Tracy as they proceed to do a
little poolside lesbian scene, but not before observing that he *is* quite a
hunk. Pretty nice little scene with tongues and a double-dildo. Too bad they
didn't break out the oil and really get slicked down.
Rocco and Randy show up at Siffredi's house where we see Tabatha and find she
has to move in with her big bro for a while. Randy splits, and Rocco tells
her about how he's afraid he's losing his charm. Then we have a flashback
scene of when he first discovered he had these powers over women. The object
of his desire in this scene is Flame, and he and the petite red-head get into
some fairly acrobatic sex on the staircase, culminating in an anal scene and a
moderate facial. I am always amazed to see this slender female take it in the
ass (of course, if you have seen Where the Girls Sweat II, you know she can do
a bit more than just that).
Not to be outdone, Tabatha tells big brother about how her maid fell for her
in the bath that day. The maid is Bridgette Monroe (I'm pretty sure) a blunt-
featured blonde with large (likely fake) tits. Nevertheless, she doesn't look
bad soaking wet, and neither does Tabatha, who has the endearing quality of
crying out in french while being sexed. With a little development, this girl
could become a major fan favorite. Anyway, its a good scene.
Rocco goes back to work the next day (he's rich and makes his own hours),
where he again gets the brush-off from Skye and Tracy. We find out as they
leave that they want Rocco to donate a sperm sample so they can have a kid
together. Uh-huh. More on this later.
While Rocco is at work pondering his woman trouble, Randy West comes in and
naturally he can't resist Casanova's sister, so he and Tabatha get after it.
A bit pedestrian, but okay.
Finally, Rocco finds out he's still got it as Tina Tyler (who we first met
while she was getting showered in water and then gang-fucked three ways in the
opening of Face Dances I) appears, ostensibly on some kind of business, and
proceeds to strip and beg Rocco to fuck her. Rocco, being no dummy, promptly
does so. Nice. I like Tyler, wish she would get into talking dirty like, say,
Melanie Moore.
After this we find out that apparently this is part I. There's supposed to
be a part 2, I guess to tie up the "plotlines". Well, we actually do have one:
the sperm donor bit. I'm sure we'll solve that problem by Rocco screwing one
or both of Skye and Tracy. If it's only one, I hope its Tracy, who for some
unknown reason I like better. But if he's supposed to impregnate her, how can
we get a facial? :-)
Oh, of course. She begs to "taste it", and then (during the afterglow) they
realize they messed up and have to do it again. Which brings on your typical
porn "humorous ending", as they chuckle and Rocco says, "I'll be ready in a
minute..."
Anyhow, a low 3 out of 5 stars, but worth a rental, no doubt.

169 “I can arrange all that.” Such Apaches as had not gone back on the war-path returned to the States with the troops; but there were five months more of the outrages of Geronimo and his kind. Then in the summer of the year another man, more fortunate and better fitted to deal with it all, perhaps,—with the tangle of lies and deceptions, cross purposes and trickery,—succeeded where Crook had failed and had been relieved of a task that was beyond him. Geronimo was captured, and was hurried off to a Florida prison with his band, as far as they well could be from the reservation they had refused to accept. And with them were sent other Indians, who had been the friends and helpers of the government for years, and who had run great risks to help or to obtain peace. But the memory and gratitude of governments is become a proverb. The southwest settled down to enjoy its safety. The troops rested upon the laurels they had won, the superseded general went on with his work in another field far away to the north. The new general, the saviour of the land, was heaped[Pg 305] with honor and praise, and the path of civilization was laid clear. Parliament met on the 10th of January, 1765. The resentment of the Americans had reached the ears of the Ministry and the king, yet both continued determined to proceed. In the interviews which Franklin and the other agents had with the Ministers, Grenville begged them to point to any other tax that would be more agreeable to the colonists than the stamp-duty; but they without any real legal grounds drew the line between levying custom and imposing an inland tax. Grenville paid no attention to these representations. Fifty-five resolutions, prepared by a committee of ways and means, were laid by him on the table of the House of Commons at an early day of the Session, imposing on America nearly the same stamp-duties as were already in practical operation in England. These resolutions being adopted, were embodied in a bill; and when it was introduced to the House, it was received with an apathy which betrayed on all hands the profoundest ignorance of its importance. Burke, who was a spectator of the debates in both Houses, in a speech some years afterwards, stated that he never heard a more languid debate than that in the Commons. Only two or three persons spoke against the measure and that with great composure. There was but one division in the whole progress of the Bill, and the minority did not reach to more than thirty-nine or forty. In the Lords, he said, there was, to the best of his recollection, neither division nor debate! His cheek paled for an instant as the thought obtruded that the man might resist and he have to really shoot him. "Good, the old man's goin' to take the grub out to 'em himself," thought the Deacon with relief. "He'll be easy to manage. No need o' shootin' him." "Them that we shot?" said Shorty carelessly, feeling around for his tobacco to refill his pipe. "Nothin'. I guess we've done enough for 'em already." John Dodd, twenty-seven years old, master, part of the third generation, arranged his chair carefully so that it faced the door of the Commons Room, letting the light from the great window illumine the back of his head. He clasped his hands in his lap in a single, nervous gesture, never noticing that the light gave him a faint saintlike halo about his feathery hair. His companion took another chair, set it at right angles to Dodd's and gave it long and thoughtful consideration, as if the act of sitting down were something new and untried. "Besides," Norma said desperately, "they're only rumors—" "Oh, I've found a way of gitting shut of them rootses—thought of it while I wur working at the trees. I'm going to blast 'em out." During the next ten years the farm went forward by strides. Reuben bought seven more acres of Boarzell in '59, and fourteen in '60. He also bought a horse-rake, and threshed by machinery. He was now a topic in every public-house from Northiam to Rye. His success and the scant trouble he took to conciliate those about him had made him disliked. Unprosperous farmers[Pg 124] spoke windily of "spoiling his liddle game." Ditch and Ginner even suggested to Vennal that they should club together and buy thirty acres or so of the Moor themselves, just to spite him. However, money was too precious to throw away even on such an object, especially as everyone felt sure that Backfield would sooner or later "bust himself" in his dealings with Boarzell. "Let's go home," she said faintly—"it's getting late."
