    Where was this shown?

    I was hoping someone else had reviewed this one, as I'm curious as to what audience this was made for. It's basically a softcore flick, showing a fair amount of full frontal nudity to go along with a ridiculous tale of how a secretary manages to sleep and connive her way to the top of the corporate ladder. Actually, the story is so dumb, the interjection of nudity so hamfisted, and the acting and dialogue so bad it's pretty entertaining shlock, but the production quality is so cheap I have a hard time believing Cinemax or Showtime would have touched it but maybe the Canadian equivalent (it was made in Canada)? This is a very cheaply made for TV film and the bright, straight-to-video recording quality does not flatter the women at all, making them look like they were on a starvation diet prior to filming. Maybe they were! All in all, it's dumb, low grade fun and worth picking up if you can find it just for the 80's nostalgia.
