Come Under My Spell, released in 1979, is an American hardcore adult film directed by Bob Chinn, one of the most prolific directors of the Golden Age. By 1979, the Golden Age was nearing its end, soon to be impacted by the rise of home video, but narrative-driven hardcore features were still being produced for theatrical release. The title Come Under My Spell suggests a plot centered around themes of seduction, hypnosis, irresistible attraction, or magical influence leading to sexual encounters. This kind of premise provides a fantastical or psychological justification for the characters’ uninhibited behavior.
The narrative likely involves a character, possibly female, who possesses a mysterious power or charm (the “spell”) that makes others sexually drawn to her, or perhaps a male character who uses hypnosis or other means to seduce women. Alternatively, the plot could revolve around someone falling victim to such a spell and embarking on a series of sexual adventures while under its influence. The story would serve as a framework for showcasing various explicit scenes, potentially exploring fantasies related to loss of control, irresistible desire, or the power of suggestion. Bob Chinn’s films typically focused on delivering clear narrative progression alongside the hardcore action.
Come Under My Spell featured prominent adult film stars of the late 1970s / early 1980s. Desiree Cousteau, known for her performances in numerous Golden Age classics (including SexWorld), likely played a key role, possibly as the one casting the spell or falling under it. Paul Thomas, another major male star and future director, might also have been in the cast, alongside other regulars from Bob Chinn’s productions. The film represents the typical output of narrative hardcore from this specific time – attempting to provide a story and recognizable stars while fulfilling audience expectations for explicit content. It stands as one of the many features directed by Bob Chinn during his highly productive period at the close of the theatrical Golden Age of Porn.
