Ronin Flix Picks Nov. 23 For The Blu-ray Release Of The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

Ronin Flix, with sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has selected Nov. 23 as the street date for a Blu-ray edition of writer/director Alan Roberts’ 1980 comedy romp, The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood.

A movie within a movie begins with the head of Warkoff Bros. Studios, W. B.” Warkoff (played by comedy legend Phil Silvers), getting a brainstorm one day and demanding that his son-in-law, Joseph Rottman (Richard Deacon — The Gnome-Mobile, Lady in Cement … as Mel Cooley on The Dick Van Dyke Show), who is the studio’s president, contact Xaviera Hollander, the high-priced call girl who wrote the New York Times best seller, “The Happy Hooker,” and make a deal for the movie rights.

Hollander (played by Martine Beswick — as Bond Girl “Zora” in From Russia with Love, and as Paula in Thunderball, plus such films as Dr. Jekyll & Sister Hyde, From a Whisper to a Scream, Prehistoric Women, etc.) is keen on the idea and agrees to fly out to Hollywood.

That’s when the fun begins.   Xaviera is a pro (in more ways than one) and she is a quick study as well.   She is seduced, but quickly sees the duplicity of the sexual and “power” advances … and arrives at the conclusion that she can play this “Hollywood” game better than the home court players.   If a movie is to be made, she’s the one who is going to make it!!

She gets help from an unlikely source, learns the craft and delivers the goods.  And, in true Hollywood fashion, a cliffhanger has Xaviera hinting at writing another book based on her new “Hollywood” experiences … and another film could follow!

The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood is great fun … a blend of inside Hollywood deal-making combined with all the best elements of the sexploitation genre, who could ask for more!!

Bonus goodies include a newly-produced video session with actors Martine Beswick and Chris Lemmon.
