0 This is the exclusive VOD release of the director-approved 4k scan restored video of Cecil Howard’s Scoundrels, the first movie to win Best Picture at the first-ever AVN awards in 1984.
Scoundrels was called a “sexual masterpiece” by AVN founder Paul Fishbein. It won Best Director and Best Editing after being nominated in all of the major film categories that year. Acclaimed writer Anne Randall provided the screenplay for the film directed by Cecil Howard, the man Playboy called “The Grandmaster of Erotic Filmmaking.”
Scoundrels is an intelligent and ironic story of infidelity within the dysfunctional family of a psychiatrist. It was considered a milestone in erotic filmmaking for its ambitious and original approach to storytelling, evoking pity and sympathy for its tragic characters through masterfully directed “high-intensity sex scenes that worked on a conscious and subconscious level.” (SIR Magazine)
Rare and out of print for a long time, Scoundrels is an underrated classic from the Golden Age of adult filmmaking. Cecil Howard considers the film “one of my greater achievements,” and lead star Ron Jeremy remembers it as “Great! Abstract, esoteric, avant-garde.”
