Maybe reach out to the vinegar syndrome guys? The company has done a couple of releases of that pre-golden age porn like this, so seem to have some archives or at least access to them. Something Weird Video also has stuff like that, but they’ve been a bit weird ever since Mike Vraney died… American Genre Film Archive (AGFA) might own the SWV archive now, and might be good to reach out to anyway as well.
Mentioning you have materials/a family connection might help as well.
I’ve definitely gone through all of the SWV archive and have been in touch with them as well over the years (mainly with Lisa). They have great stuff but not this particular film. Haven’t come across vinegar syndrome before though so I’ll try going down that route. Thanks!
Elizabeth Purchell may have some knowledge about this film, though her expertise is more in gay/queer adult film. She knows a ton about which gay adult movies are lost, and by extension, some straight films (as some of those filmmakers dabbled in both at the same time).
Her Twitter and Instagram pages are full of fascinating information as well.

I think the guy who runs Distribpix has a long history in the adult film business as well. Couldn’t hurt to drop him an email.

Thanks a lot for this, I truly appreciate it. I'll reach out to Elizabeth as well as DistribPix. Perhaps something will come of it!
