Nude Celebs: Jacqueline Lovell - Although not exhibited in the United States, the erotic television series Click was a series of seven 90 minute productions loosely based on the erotic graphic novels of the same name by Italian artist Milo Manara. In 1985, the first of Manara's books (1983's Il gioco) was turned into the French movie Le Déclic, then in the late 90's, after several several more Click graphic novel sequels were published, softcore impresario Alain Siritzky got hold of the adaptation rights, creating a terrific showcase for some of the hottest genre talent available, including Gabriella Hall, Jacqueline Lovell, Kira Reed, and Taylor St. Clair.
Unfortunately, only four of the original seven productions appear to have been released on DVD: The Body Beautiful, Sexual Dependence Day, Erotic Curse of Cairo, and Balls of Thunder (a James Bond play off Thunderball) and all now travel under different titles. It's the hope of many a softcore fan that both this, and Butterscotch, another Siritzky/Manara partnership will someday be officially packaged and released.
Available on DVD in the U.S. as The Ultimate Audition, the first of the Click movies, The Body Beautiful finds the harried Dr. Fez hiding the mysterious Click remote control in a financially troubled health club. The remote, which can instantly arouse those it is pointed at with a "click" of a button, ends up being a savior for the health club when two of its workers (the delicious, bubbly Gabriella Hall and charismatic, funny David Chielens) start having a little fun with the gadget, instantly making the club a hotspot for fitness mavens looking for a little more than tight abs.
While the production suffers from Siritzky's insistence on spinning camera sex scenes and gauzy, vaseline-on-the-lens style shooting (the same techniques that hurt the otherwise fine Emmanuelle in Space series), overall The Ultimate Attraction is a fun, erotic-comedic romp chock-full-of skin scenes from talent well-known and not so well known. Recurring Click cast members Jacqueline Lovell and Holly Hollywood (in a very small, very under-lit role) are joined by the lovely and talented Kiva (as 1/2 of a bumbling, burglaring duo), Nina Leichtling (as the lecherous - but hot - real estate magnate ready to buy out the health club), and Taylor St. Clair as, well, apparently a stand-in for full-frontal shy Gabriella Hall during one of Hall's love scenes where the remote actual turns Hall into St. Clair (and Simona Votypkova as well). Weird? It's even weirder when St. Clair later appears as a different character in a steamy sauna scene with a "click-aroused" Lovell.
It's all silly fun, and you see a lot more ladies naked than not as the majority of the featured extras include some recognizable names like Jennifer Burton and porn starlet Stephanie Swift as health club visitors caught in the erotic rapture of the "click" remote. Also caught "breaking a sweat" are lesser knowns like Bo Zena, Melodi Clark, Janine Stillo and Taylor Parque.
If you haven't seen it, or any of the Click series, The Ultimate Attraction goes highly recommended for fans of the genre and for those that like some laughs with their non-explicit sex scenes!
