Both the audio, and video in this dvd production were superb when being played through my PS3 gaming console, and onto my HDTV. The picture filled the screen with it's faux European lighting, and overall impressive visual quality. Everything from the English manor backdrops to the English manor courtyard gave me the feeling as if the captured film was of true UK origin. With the excellently created English nobleman costumes, and elegant lady apparel the European/UK feel was extended even further. Even the applied hairstyles, and forced English (UK) accents kept true enough to the tribute material that it still seemed mostly genuine. The classically inspired music soundtrack, and the sound itself was as rich in nature as the lavish estate every performer was having sex in. When it comes to both visual, and audio quality it is apparent from the start that Harmony spared no expenses in the production of this comedic feature film.

AUDIO/VIDEO: Other than go through my usual means of viewing the dvd (through a tube television for nostalgia reasons) I opted to play the disc on my HDTV using my PS3's Blu-ray player capabilities. As far as visuals are concerned the film fit the HDTV perfectly, and the visuals looked near Blu-ray throughout the playthrough. The usual high quality Dorcel production values were definitely applied in the making of this film, and you could tell it from the main menu forward. Every bodily flaw whether it be on the male, or female cast members were fully visible. Philippe Soine's reality show style of directing also came to life in a vivid manner as the cameraman not only focused on the sexual encounters, but also on the rich European cityscapes that the events took place on. The lighting was exceptional for a European film, and the artistic camera shots made for a visual journey worthy of the Dorcel name.

In the way of audio options things were a bit limited this time around. There were no audio menus in place for subtitles, or spoken languages. The subtitles, and spoken languages that were used by default were an odd mixture of spoken English, spoken French, and French subtitles. It was a hit, or miss feature that could have been done better, but with that being said this is a foreign film and language barriers are to be expected. The sound quality itself was clear, and audible regardless of how the peoples' voices were interpreted. It's the type of flesh flick where dialogue would help, but where the onscreen action suffices enough to please.
