About The Perils of Paula
"Oh, woe is me," cries Paula Peril. "Dan Dastardly is going to foreclose on our bean farm if we don't come up with the cash!" But Paula (Britt Morgan) uses her body as well as her head to outfox despicable Dan. Getting a job at a whorehouse run by Miss Lotta (Sharon Kane), Paula becomes the star hooker and makes money fast! The sex is nonstop, fast and furious as Paula bangs her way to freedom. But is there enough time? Will dashing Jack Jolly succumb to a torrid tart's temptations? Can Paula handle the orgy Dan Dastardly plans for her? And, can "Pops" Peril still get it up to save the day? All these questions (and more! ) will be answered in The Perils of Paula. This erotic melodrama replaces booing and hissing with moaning.
Directed by Gerard Damiano, The Perils of Paula leans on a strong ensemble — Britt Morgan, Randy West, Sharon Kane — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1989.
