Audio/Video Quality: The picture was presented in 1.33:1 ratio full frame color, the current industry standard. It was all shot in dark, poorly lit rooms as part of the plot and the picture suffered since the darker sets caused a lot of grain and video noise. I didn't see a lot of artifacts but I did wish the picture was better. The audio was presented in stereo English and sounded a bit hollow but otherwise okay. I noticed that the music was lower than usual and that helped keep it from intruding on the vocals as much as other releases from Vivid have had problems with.

Body of Review: Savanna, the blonde Vivid contract performer that has a similar facial bone structure as mainstream star Sandra Bullock, has made a few movies for the company as a feature performer. Her good looks, combined with a hot and curvy body appeals to a lot of men (and women). In her seventh release for the popular company, Woman Under Glass, she plays a gal working at a peep show. Men come in and she sits behind a glass window on a stage to masturbate or otherwise help men get off in a safe environment. One of her customers is a shy guy played by Randy. He comes in just to talk (as those of us frequenting strip clubs can attest, a lot of guys are like that) and the two develop a relationship of sorts, where each looks forward to seeing the other. There's not much else by way of plot, although there was a happy ending and here's a breakdown of the scenes by cast:

Scene One: Taya, a light-skinned Black gal with a lean body, and Eric, had a scene in a dark room. The sex was mostly vaginal and she was quite energetic while she bounced up and down on his lap. They finished with the oral (isn't that kind of backwards?) and he popped on her chest.

Scene Two: Michelle, a blonde with a dirty mouth, and the massive Lee, had sex in a dark room on a couch. He popped on her face after boning her for awhile. It wasn't bad although I would have preferred it lasted longer.

Scene Three: Savanna, the attractive lead blonde of the movie, and Manuel, well-known stud about town, did the deed at the club in, guess what, a dark room. Her playfulness separated her from the others to this point and the fact that she kept eye contact with either him or the camera (a good thing). He returned the oral favor by going down on her and even rimming her a bit (she then rimmed him a bit too) before they did the deed on the couch.

Scene Four: Nicole, the blonde bombshell known for her energetic performances with her husband, and Dru, had a scene on-stage while Ken jerked off for them. The gals used tongues and toys on each other and it was a pretty warm scene.

Scene Five: Savanna, looking even better this time, and Randy, had a scene when she came off the stage for him. Like the other scenes, it was oral and straight only with a condom but still appealing to me. There was more chemistry here than in the other scenes and it's easy to see why Savannah has a growing following (after all, I was growing while watching her).

Summary: While the movie did have some technical issues, I liked the Savanna scenes and a few others enough to suggest it as Recommended for her fans. Yes, I'd have preferred the extras to be better (the BTS was a short interview with Savanna and only looked at scene three) and the sex scenes to be longer but until the onslaught of Savanna compilations come out, this is as good as you'll see her. If you're not a fan, prefer circus act sex, or simply hate condoms, you might want to lower the rating but it wasn't bad.
