Bubbles Galore -- Film Description:
"The eponymous heroine of Bubbles Galore is a superstar/producer of hardcore films played by Canadian XXX-rated actress Nina Hartley [...]. Although Bubbles has taken her share of hard knocks, she's kept a firm grip on her enthusiasm for working either end of the camera, not to mention her private erotic pleasures. As the movie opens, the happy porn queen is about to dive into the challenge of shooting her new production, Good Girl Gone Bad, on an ultra-tight schedule. Unfortunately, a cloud lurks behind the silver lining of Bubbles's life: her ex-boss and lover, Godfrey Montana (Daniel Maclvor), a megalomaniacal porn czar who wants Bubbles back, professionally and personally. When she greets his sweet talk and threats with disdain, he terrorizes Buck Lister (Andrew Scorer), an ex-lover Bubbles is still fond of, into a plot to ruin her. Buck, the tragic figure of the piece, is a good-hearted former porn actor whose career has turned limp because he has. Meanwhile in a subplot, Bubbles falls for the enigmatic Dory Drawers (Canadian pin-up Shauny Sexton), an amiable blonde who aspires to a career in the sex industry. Dory's problem is that she's a virgin, not the best qualification for on-camera lovemaking, as Bubbles's jealous lesbian assistant, Vivian Klitorsky (Tracy Wright), reminds her boss. But Bubbles is smitten, and she takes it upon herself to initiate the ripe young virgin in carnal knowledge."
