Probably the best adult film I've ever seen. Enjoyable from cover to cover, particularly the last scene, which serves as the climax of the storyline(no pun intended.) A detective noir in the tradition of The Big Sleep and The Maltese Falcon, Peter North's Detective Mickey Price harks back to the glory days of private dicks. On this odyssey he undertakes, he crosses paths with the classic cool blonde(Jenna Jameson, shining like a combination of Lauren Bacall and Grace Kelly), a fortune teller, two female homosexual lovers, and a host of other kooky characters. I'm not going to give the twist ending away, but as a hint, think of recent film noirs like Memento and The Usual Suspects. Enjoy.

"Priceless" launched the career of its star, blonde goddess Jenna Jameson, and in this you can see why. Her performance is remakable: intense yet quiet, erotic yet innocent. Her match up with Peter North ranks as one of the best scenes in the industry. If your interested in a video that tells a complex story with erotic overtones, than this is your movie. "Priceless" is indeed worth price.

Trust Cash Markman/Mark Cushman to foist an ersatz film noir on the Adult Cinema public, a format he often attempts in his quest to crank out the most (bad) scripts in porn history. His record is safe, because in recent years the lion's share of Adult videos have dispensed with screenplays altogether.

This one tries for a fantasy mode, and fails miserably, as even the reliable craftsman of a director Jim Enright seems to have fallen asleep at the wheel. And sleepwalking through the central role as a private dick is Peter North, still able to leap... well, he's no superhero but certainly super in dispensing the maximum quantity of spunk, as in the opening sex scene where ultra-busty hooker Holly Body receives perhaps half a liter of cum on her breasts in return for a $100 a pop price tag for her services.

Jenna Jameson is his innocent-looking client clad in white, who's been charged with the murder of her husband Tony Tedeschi. Overwritten script offers tons of expository dialog and numerous flashbacks, but never delivers any excitement, as even violence and murder are left off-screen. The gimmick of both leads being reincarnated 50 years later to live out basically the same melodramatics is ridiculous and listlessly presented.

Best segment is a black and white sex scene in a bar after hours starring a young Steven St. Croix as Tedeschi's counterpart back in 1946. Lovely import Sophia Ferrari has a turn as a fortune teller who gets to hump Wicked's stalwart player Jonathan Morgan.

Best thing about the picture is the styling for Jenna in a dual role, getting to look both natural and glamorous. But there's no oomph in a project that puts verbal exposition over action (it's cheaper to stage).
