Review by Wayne Malin

Enjoyable soft core porno flick,

I caught this playing constantly on cable TV late at night back in the early 80s. Not much of a plot. It’s just about hunky Tom Berenger (who was only 29 when he made this) seducing one older woman after another. That’s all it is–nothing else…but not bad for what it is.

The women themselves are all very beautiful, have nice bodies and (surprisingly) are good actresses–Karen Black and Helen Shaver especially. The only disappointment in the film was there were next to no full frontal nude shots of Berenger. The women show everything but not him and–let’s face it–back then he WAS very handsome and had a great body. There are only flashes of his “best parts” and (for some reason) even THOSE were clumsily edited out the last time I saw the pic (in the mid 80s)! If you’re gonna do a soft core pic let’s see everything.

That aside it was a light, enjoyable sex film–nothing more. I give it a 7.
