A Touch of Genie

A Touch of Genie is director Joe Sarno's outrageous long-lost tribute to a boyhood spent at raucous Lower East Side comedies (and an adulthood spent writing and directing some of the finest adult films to ever grace a grindhouse screen). Poor Melvin! His meddling mother is making him nutz. His only relief is the covert afternoons he spends at New York's notorious Times Square porn theaters. One day, Melvin discovers a genie in a bottle. What does he wish? To become his favorite adult superstars and indulge in wild sexual adventures with the sexiest women of the silver screen. Starring Doug Stone as Melvin Finkelfarb and Ultramax - the First Lady of New York Porn! - as his yiddishe mama. Also featuring over-the-top performances by grindhouse greats Harry Reems, Tina Russell, and Eric Edwards. Collection also includes the magical feature films Swing Genie and Jeannie's Magic Box.

Melvin (Douglas Stone) lives a boring life, running an antique shop and sneaking off to 42nd Street to watch dirty movies, while dreaming that he too may some day seduce Tina Russell. But one afternoon, he finds a strange old urn that, when rubbed a special way, unleashes a genie (Chris Jordan) capable of satisfying his every wish. Soon Melvin finds himself living out all of his erotic fantasies by taking on the bodies of Marc Stevens, Eric Edwards, and others. There's only one problem...his overbearing mother (Ultramax) keeps on catching him in the act...

Acclaimed filmmaker, Joe Sarno's, ribald and raucous comedy, A TOUCH OF GENIE, co-stars Tina Russell, Harry Reems, Lynn Stevens, and more. Filled with borscht-belt humor, meta antics, and torrid eroticism, GENIE is a sexploitation classic like no other and is coming to Blu-ray newly restored from its original 35mm camera negative and fully uncut for the first time from Vinegar Syndrome.
