Maraschino Cherry Blu-ray delivers the final film directed by Radley Metzger under his Henry Paris pseudonym, presented in a lavish limited edition newly restored in 4K. Set over the course of a single, sex-filled day inside an upscale Manhattan bordello, the film follows the elegant madam Maraschino Cherry and her devoted staff as they cater to an endless parade of clients, each bringing their own desires, fantasies, and eccentricities. Structured as a continuous flow of encounters, the film becomes a witty, sophisticated tableau of erotic performance and character-driven humor.
 
A hallmark of Metzger’s late-career work, Maraschino Cherry showcases his trademark visual polish, playful intelligence, and refined sense of erotic cinema. Featuring an all-star cast that includes Gloria Leonard, Annette Haven, C.J. Laing, Leslie Bovee, and Constance Money, along with appearances by Eric Edwards and Wade Nichols, the film stands as a fitting capstone to Metzger’s influential career. Released by Quality X, this Blu-ray marks the film’s debut on the format, newly scanned and restored from its original 35mm negative and accompanied by an extensive slate of archival and newly assembled extras.
 
This special limited edition Blu-ray includes a spot gloss slipcover designed by Rich Long and is strictly limited to 3,000 units.
