The biggest stars, best directors, and highest production values; that is a QUALITY X film. These deluxe Blu-ray editions of some of the genre's masterpieces, along with plenty of hidden gems, offer beautiful restorations and plentiful bonus features, all presented in homage to its namesake of esteemed New York film distributor, Mature Pictures, the company which almost single handedly raised the bar for outstanding sex films, and whose films will be included in this fittingly elegant collection.

Set over the course of one sex-filled day at an exclusive Manhattan bordello, lusty madam Maraschino Cherry and her dedicated staff satisfy the desires of their seemingly endless stream of clients. From haggard city employees, brusque businessmen, hopeless romantics, kinky hedonists, and other assorted oddballs, they fulfill any and all fantasies over the course of a hard day’s work. The final film directed by Radley Metzger (The Opening of Misty Beethoven) under his pseudonym of Henry Paris, MARASCHINO CHERRY offers a non-stop tableau of scorching sensuality portrayed by an all-star erotic cast, including Gloria Leonard (Misbehavin’), Annette Haven (SexWorld), CJ Laing (Anyone But My Husband), Leslie Bovee (Tapestry of Passion), and the incredible Constance Money (Mary! Mary!), plus supporting appearances from Eric Edwards (The Fireworks Woman) and Wade Nichols (Take Off). Photographed and edited with Metzger’s trademark eye for visual elegance and a frothy and sophisticated sense of humor, MARASCHINO CHERRY at last comes to Blu-ray from Quality X. Newly scanned and restored in 4K from its 35mm negative, it includes a never-before-heard archival commentary track between Metzger and historian Ashley West, which will at last satisfy many burning questions regarding the making of this erotic classic.
