All Night Long / Tapestry Of Passion [DVD]

Written and directed by Alan Colberg and shot in 35mm in the mid-1970s, these two films have been expertly transferred to DVD by Vinegar Syndrome and provide a great opportunity to view a number of leading male and female adult film stars of the period, including the "legendary" John Holmes, the real-life inspiration for the Dirk Diggler character played by Mark Wahlberg in Boogie Nights (1997).

In All Night Long Holmes and Rick Lutze are challenged to complete a series of sexual encounters (including a little bit of everything, incidentally) in order to win a prize from a local society supposedly dedicated to male satisfaction. However, as the story progresses, one begins to notice that the most enthusiastic members of the society are female and that the female sexual partners control each man's progress through the night. Interestingly, both Boogie Nights and All Night Long currently enjoy a 7.9 user rating among IMDb members, which puts All Night Long up there with Hans Billian's Sensational Janine (7.8 rating) as one of the most highly rated adult films of the Classic era.

Tapestry of Passion, in which Holmes plays private investigator Johnny Wadd, has a less compelling story line and scores a mere 6.0 among IMDb members. However, it is nicely shot with lovely, natural actresses and is infused with the same campy outlook as All Night Long, which makes this double feature thoroughly enjoyable for adult couples of any age.
