What the best-dressed school ma'am's
will be wearing in 2010.

Lana Cox is the Page 3 blonde who comes From Russia With Lust as she strips for Playboy in ten scenes with comments and chat throughout the programme, including a passing mention of her lesbian one night stand, which she had to do once in her life while she was young, apparently...

Of the ten scenes, the ones that linger longest in the memory are Lana's attempts to get a job in Secretarial Duties and her trip down to the beach in Rocky Outcrop, but all too often there's too much arty nonsense whether it's strutting about in a Eurotrash-style set for A Perfect Body, walking up and down a staircase like a Venus De Milo in a bad wig for Stairway to Heaven, or a laughingly dull lesbian scene for Animal Passion.

# "Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside" #

The picture quality is first-rate with no artifacts on view and is presented in fullscreen, although those with widescreen TVs will probably zoom in anyway to study the..er.. average bitrate which is a good 6.43Mb/s.

The sound quality is fine, but is hardly pushing the boat out, but then what did you expect with a soft-porn title ? (those looking for 70's music need not queue here...). It is presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 (Dolby Surround).

"What's a skidmark ?"

Extras :

Chapters :

10 chapters spread over the 52-minute programme: one each to open and close the proceedings, plus 8 separate 'glamour scenes'.

Languages & Subtitles :

The film is in English only, with no subtitles.

Menu :

A shot of Ms. Cox, as per the front cover, adorns the main menu, with another shot watching as you select a scene.

Lana would do anything to secure her new job.

Overall :

This is one for Lana Cox devotees only. Yes, she looks nice but she sounds like she has less personality than Daniella Westbrook's septum. The lack of extras doesn't help either, but then it's a standard Playboy title and it does exactly what it says on the tin.

Alas, he was the world's stupidest man
and took no notice.
