Made by Brit porn hack or pioneer (take your pick) Hazza B'Gunne, "The Cockwell Inn" is no great shakes, but has value strictly thanks to the setting, what appears to be a real, British pub.
I have long been fascinated by settings in Adult Cinema, dating back to the crummy bedrooms or hotel rooms of 1-day wonders in the '70s, to the weirdly industrial backdrops of an Alexander DeVoe all-black porno 20 years back right through to the lavish mansions (especially "Immoral Proposal"). Though both porn audiences and critics have move to an insipid "sex is all that counts" stance, the setting can signal all the difference between generic porn and content with some depth.
So the pub setting here, with even a couple dozen Regular customers oddly receiving screen credit at the end alongside the acting talent, is key. Whether it be bartender Danny Mountain humping a girl in what looks like a basement filled with metal beer kegs, or a sex scene staged at the bar, we can watch something with a reality to it, rather than just close-ups of body parts thwacking away in XXX fashion.
No time wasted on story or characters. Just sex in the bathroom with iconic Franki getting serviced by Mountain or a skanky, thin blonde auditioning her "dance" or a finale of busty Rebecca Smyth in an impromptu threesome.
Of minor note as an early editing credit for currently top Brit Porn helmer Dick Bush, who got his start working for B'Gunne.
