An Odd Comedy-Adventure

Adult-film-star Marilyn Chambers makes an attempt at an R-rated comedy-adventure in "Angel of H.E.A.T." I don't know if this movie actually played theatrically or went straight to video. I only remember it from the Vestron Video, now defunct, release on tape and disc from the early '80s and have never seen it appear since on video.

There is a fair amount of nudity from Marilyn, but the film really centers on its story and not on sexual situations. The story seems a bit hard to follow and somewhat choppy. Marilyn is sent on an undercover mission to stop a world takeover plot. It sounds better than it actually plays out however and this feature ends up seeming longer than its actual 90+ minutes. I assume the LaserDisc represents the best this movie ever looked, though its transfer is pretty soft and blurry making one strain to make out details in the movie's many night/dark scenes. The movie is presented full-frame with mono sound.

I would say it is required viewing strictly for hardcore Marilyn Chambers fans, no pun intended, to see her in a non-hardcore movie. The only other non-xXx or mainstream feature I know from her is the 1978 horror movie "Rabid." "Rabid" is certainly Marilyn's best non-adult performance, but "Angel of H.E.A.T" is a semi-interesting curiosity item.
