"I remember that Mitch Gaylord and Janet Jones were two of the prettiest people in the whole bloody world when this flick came out. And their sex scene, while tame, was pretty darn hot just because they were in it. Mitch did his best world-weary, troubled teen bit. Janet was dead-on as the one-dimensional beauty with the "I know you want me" grin plastered on her adorable mug. More nudity, less gymnastics, and this film might have worked...."
💡 Did You Know?
The film's complete failure (terrible reviews and a bomb result at the box office) sent its poor director, Albert Magnoli, into what was then known in Hollywood as "Movie Jail." Magnoli never had a hit under his own name like his smash hit 1984 debut PURPLE RAIN, only being given chances to direct theatrical films in secret such as his replacement work on TANGO & CASH. He was left to work on TV movies and hasn't directed a film anywhere since 1997.
