The Scope

Entertaining Vivid fantasy

Pretty much forgotten two decades following release, &quot;The Scope&quot; concerns a telescope that gives Marc Wallice views into his future, with mildly ironic results. It&apos;s from Paul Thomas&apos;s Cinnamon production banner for Vivid Video, directed and shot by his faithful cameraman Ralph Parfait (whose lensing career has outlasted PT&apos;s, still active for major directors).

Wallice in the lead role is the main drawback to the feature, as he overdoes his attempt at acting and remains repulsive for several reasons, not least of which is the AIDS dissemination scandal that ended his career.

But the femmes save the day as usual, no surprise for Vivid which after all was built around the leading lady star system in its heyday. Madelyn Knight gets top billing as a sexy brunette who Wallice first sees when he disobeys his buddy Ron Jeremy&apos;s stern instructions and looks through Ron&apos;s bedroom telescope while borrowing the fabulous pad for a tryst with luscious Sindee Coxx.

That sets into motion Marc&apos;s sexaholic misadventures, appealing to the viewer though a first-person camera technique eliminating Marc from the picture (save his cock) would have moved this trifle closer to classic status. Kim Cummings and the great Nina Hartley are his later conquests en route to that dumb trick ending.

Jeremy is thankfully only in NonSex Role here, in charge of keeping the plot moving forward. Director Parfait uses the &quot;future glimpse&quot; gimmick sloppily by having a scene introducing swingers Hartley and Steve Drake (who have a threesome with Wallice) after their sex scene is over, defensible structurally since it is about the future but unnecessarily confusing or even cryptic as sequenced here.
