On the DVD version for Taboo, Kay admitted there was a strong attraction for her co-star Mike Ranger and this is no exaggeration that will be explained shortly. Deservedly regarded as one of the best movies of Porn's 'Golden Age', TABOO excels in every department. I am not a fan of historical movies - I'm more sci-fi and futuristic action movies. So, for me to rate this anything above 3 stars would mean it's good, but that was FANTASTIC. The scenes here carry a terrific level of eroticism and hold weight as some of the sexiest I've seen in pornography yet. They are intimate, usually assisted by soft, soulful music choices rather than ones that hinder the scenes themselves, and are beautifully constructed to flow very naturally. It also helps that, again, Parker and Ranger are such talented performers, able to act, have sex, and get emotional all in a film that's very intelligently written, which only elevates the level of believability here.

Thoroughly sensual, but never remotely sleazy, she became on the strength of this portrayal the most renowned British born porn actress, except ironically in her native country where censorship prevented it from being widely shown.

While its no surprise Paul is in love with his mom no sexual frustration is about when we see him do two women at the same time and another one at home.

Admittedly, I haven't seen the first in this somewhat notorious series of adult films, so perhaps I'm missing something. While the first and the third films focused on Kay Parker's Barbara Scott and her sons, this one concerns the family of Sherry McBride, portrayed by Dorothy Le May who apparently played a girlfriend character in the original Taboo. (This film, incidentally, was Le May's last adult film, though some she'd made earlier were released after it.)
