Matthew_Capitano A young couple travels to the islands and discovers sexual freedom.During their stay, they encounter a young beautiful woman (Valerie Quinnesson) who involves them in a mutual love triangle. Things are going swimmingly until the mystery girl disappears. Her reason? She was afraid because she knew the vacation was going to end soon. The flick cashes in any erotic chips it has when this sexually liberated chick turns goofy and runs away. That was the lame turning point. Also, the casting of the slight Peter Galliger as the male lead was a mistake. Darryl Hannah plays his young wife, though she's too good for the role.Film is not on par with other films that deliver the chic goods that this one tries to fabricate.
SnoopyStyle American couple Michael Pappas (Peter Gallagher) and Cathy Featherstone (Daryl Hannah) rent a Greek villa for their summer holidays. They are struck by the sexually liberated culture. He's intrigued by archaeologist Lina (Valérie Quennessen) while Cathy does her amateur photography. He tells her about Lina. They test out having outside relationships. Cathy gets frustrated and confronts Lina. Lina turns out to be friendly and they become three best friends and eventual summer lovers. The threesome is interrupted by the arrival of Cathy's mother.This is cheesy 80s fare. It's a little fun and has plenty of nudity. The characters are likable. Nobody is too annoying with too much personal drama. This is basically a guilty pleasure. I have no problem with people complaining about a general emptiness. The acting is basically good enough. The story is better than softcore porn. This is not the highest of dramas.
marulez A fantastic movie! I really liked it! Too bad they haven't released this movie on a wide screen FULL HD BluRay! I hope they will in the near future though. I think this is the only movie with a Menage A Trois with a happy ending I've found so far. Most movies about Menage A Trois usually end up with a break-up, cheating or other strange things. Why won't the Hollywood directors make more movies like this one? I like how the trio couple was shown having fun, dancing in clubs, drinking, going to the beach, a very beautiful scene. There's just one thing which the director could have added to this movie... making the 2 girls kiss each other and all but anyway even without that, the movie is a masterpiece which deserves to be released on BluRay, for being ONE of a kind!
Woodyanders Amorous Michael (hunky Peter Gallagher) and his sweet girlfriend Cathy (Daryl Hannah at her most charming and delectable) are an American couple vacationing on the Greek island of Santorini. Michael has a fling with alluring, exotic and uninhibited French archaeologist Lina (the mesmerizing Valerie Quennessen). Michael tells Cathy about his infidelity and Cathy goes out of her way to meet Lina. Cathy becomes so enamored of Lina that she agrees to a menage a trois relationship. Writer/director Randal Kleiser offers a good-natured and engrossing love story between three people that works as both a happy and dynamic ode to the free'n'easy early 80's sexual revolution and a provocative commentary on preconceived notions about monogamy and so-called "normal" relationships. Moreover, Kleiser handles the copious nudity and feverish sensuality in a tasteful and matter-of-fact way; this film never becomes sleazy or exploitative despite the racy subject matter. Instead a positively infectious spirit of carefree fun and innocence pervades throughout. The three attractive leads all give appealingly warm and natural performances, with the strikingly comely, poised and charismatic Quennessen rating as the stand-out of the bunch. Barbara Rush contributes a funny cameo as Cathy's loving, but disapproving mother Jean and Carole Cook is a total hoot as Jean's cheery friend Barbara. Timothy Galfas' bright, glossy cinematography vividly evokes a palpably lush and languid sultry atmosphere. The infectiously bouncy rock soundtrack adds immensely to the bubbly, upbeat merriment. An offbeat, enjoyable and underrated little delight.
