A psychological thriller

kk, you did yourself proud with this one. Creating a erotic spellbinder that morphed into a psychoanalysis of some of the people in the porn industry.

At the first film shoot, it was a jarring anachronism when Janet as Bettie Paige, stripped to reveal she was wearing a thong.

At first I was considering that, a jarring writer's error. However, reconsidering that scene, I have changed my mind. The costume supplier would have known better but the character of Janet would not have understood what she was doing wrong.

This would be the first small step along Janet's descent into becoming a Modern Porn Queen, self-destructive with absolutely no inhibitions or boundaries.

Quite unlike the original, real Bettie Paige. Whose psychological breakdown occurred when she got religion and tried to leave behind the image of Pin-Up/Bondage Queen.

I think your ending is very realistic for the characters you created. In all this is a quality story about believable people.
