The film follows the journey of Justine Jones, a deeply repressed woman who takes her own life. Finding herself in a purgatorial bureaucratic waiting room, she strikes a bargain with a demonic entity to return to a simulated reality where she can experience all the carnal pleasures she denied herself during her earthly existence, ultimately leading to an unexpected existential twist. Georgina Spelvin: A Definitive Performance
You cannot discuss the "best" classic adult film without discussing legality and influence. In 1973, The Devil in Miss Jones was seized by New York police. It led to a landmark obscenity trial (People v. Heller) that eventually helped loosen censorship laws across the United States.
To truly appreciate the film, you first have to understand the woman. The adult film industry of the 1970s was filled with young starlets, but Georgina Spelvin was different. She was an actress.
