Pecados do Desejo

This movie may have been daring for the late 1980's, but is really dated. The movie I viewed was in narrow screen, and frankly was a bore. A practice running a sex therapy clinic has Kay's (Tanya Roberts) sister as a patient, and she winds up committing suicide. So it becomes a bring to justice movie. There is a funny scene of a young man who can't perform, so two women do a strip tease to arouse him. But it is rather formula driven, and predictable. There are holes in the plot galore. An abandoned movie set/lot that no one ever goes to anymore suddenly is functional with lights at the end. And if one wants to see a drag out fight that is perhaps the worst staged fight ever, this movie delivers. Even the skin cannot save this movie.

I gave this movie a 10 on sex scenes alone. The unrated version is full of steamy love scenes and nudity and there's nothing wrong with that. Tanya Roberts plays Kay, the sister of a patient at a sex clinic owned by a sleazy married couple named Jessica and Scott Callister (played perfectly by Delia Sheppard and Jay Richardson). It seems there's something weird going on at their sex clinic and it involves a powerful drug and some doctors doing bad things to their patients while they are under the influence of the drugs. After Kay's sister commits suicide she joins forces with a handsome insurance investigator and they go undercover (if you know what I mean and I think you do) to solve the sex murder. They manage to fall in love in the process and have wild sex during a thunderstorm.(note to anyone: if you invite a handsome insurance investigator to stay the night at your house then that it a recipe for erotic disaster) This movie is great! It has lesbian sex scenes galore, kinky rough sex, Tanya Roberts and Nick Cassavettes who is now a director. It's backed by a great soundtrack by the lovely Becky Lebeau and the usual kick-butt directing of Jim (I'm in it for the ladies) Wynorsky. Check it out but make sure you get the unrated version.

Why? I don't know. The debut of this movie. I seen it at least 3 times. There's little to say about this movie unless you are a fan of T/A. The women are gorgeous and a reminder of why the late 80's early 90's was a wonderful time for T/A movies. Gail Harris, Tanya Roberts, Becky LeBeau and Monique Parent are smoking. The plot don't think to hard. 😄😄 The finale for me is hilarious, it's unintentionally funny, better than expected. I would have loved if Gail and Tanya were given a long scene? If you are fan of T/A, movies you don't study the plot and you have time to kill in the late nights/early morning? This is the movie for you. I would be remiss if I didn't send a shout to Jay Richardson and Jan Michael Vincent. You can say what you want. When it comes to slimy perverts, few can play better. As for Jan? I see the Jan Michael Vincent of The Mechanic and wonder what happened?

The fat guy in the bed being teased by the 2 strippers was one of the crew. He might have been the transpo captain or coordinator. I forget. This was a fun little late night film. Worth every penny! The house was on a cliff in Malibu and provided a wonderful Clinic for the film. Tanya Roberts and Dalhia Shepard have a very hot scene that is worth watching just for the breasts. Jan Michael Vincent is perfectly cast. The story is pretty hokey, but that is not why we watched this film. The exploration of the clinic sets the scene for wacky antics and a sleuth story that Sherlock Holmes should look into. Unfortunately this did not make it to the theaters, and went directly from cable to video.

This movie should have been better, one memorable sex scene and that's it. 30 minutes into this tropical peanut I started having flashbacks of when Rodrigo tied me to an orange tree and made me sing "bar stools and baby's don't mix". I surely would have been a lot happier and not so loony if they would have at least put two more suger cubes in this cup of luke warm mocha. -*1/2 stars
