The Masseuse is a pornographic film, made in 1990 and starring Randy Spears and Hyapatia Lee. In the film, Spears plays an ordinary quiet man named Jim Mitchell, who seems very shy around women. He goes to a massage parlor where Lee is a masseuse who gives Spears a slow handjob. He falls in love with her, even though the only relationship between them is purely sexual and purely professional, with Lee's character needing the extra money from the tips Jim leaves.
When he follows her home, she gets upset and tells him, firmly but with sensitivity, to leave, which is a very unusual ending for a porn film (but very realistic in terms of what would happen in real life). The film ends with a hint that Jim may have finally found a way to relate to women and may even have found a new girlfriend.
The film won numerous awards in the 1990 Adult Video News, including a Best Actor Award for Spears.
The movie was remade pretty much scene for scene in 2004 with Jenna Jameson and Justin Sterling in the starring roles, and again won many AVN Awards. Both films were directed by Paul Thomas.
