La vergine americana

The concept of the movie has been done before much better. The idea of a pair of lovers trying to work out their issues by reincarnating as famous historic couples doesn't work mostly from the script and overly light directing.

The only reason to watch this movie is to watch Diane Franklin show her acting chops (and her body in the Adam and Eve sequence). She seemed like she had real potential in her career, capped with the brilliant movie Better Off Dead.

I saw this movie many years ago and I really enjoyed it. I can't understand all of the negative reviews that this film has gotten. I thought it was very charming and inventive. The casting is great, especially the lovely Diane Franklin...

an interesting, romantic, and original adventure.

I wanted to record something from the TV recently so I pulled an almost forgotten VHS tape out of the storage area I originally got off of cable more than twenty years ago to decide if it was a keeper or not. Sadly, it wasn't and I was very glad to tape over it. The plot is almost nonexistent, although I must admit naked breasts were a real treat to find in the early 1980's and I did appreciate them at the time. If that's all you want nowadays go to Google and search under "images" for them but please do not spend even a minute of your valuable time watching this horrible waste of celluloid. Even the late lamented Robert Morley playing the part of God couldn't save this stinker.

Confused and stuttering comedy in which Eve returns in Vichy France to work for the resistance and falls in love with the same man all over again.

It's one redeeming feature is that the very lovely Diane Franklin is on screen for most of the film

Its been awhile since I've seen this film but I recall that it was a so-so comedy who's only redeeming feature was the fact that Diane Franklin starred in it. Basic premise is that one man and one woman are sent through History to show the value of love during a test by the Devil (or something like that). Anyway, it starts out with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (yes, we see her topless). Then WW1 when Diane proves her love by standing before her lover as he's about to get shot by a German firing squad and opening her blouse (again, we see some skin). And so on until the Devil decides that Love can conquer all.

A good film for those who saw "Better Off Dead" and wanted to know if Diane was as hot as she appeared in that film with John Cusak. Answer: she sure was. If you're looking for comedy, skip this film and try "Better Off Dead".
