She is long in the tooth these days, but in Street Asylum, she is dressed like a hot dominatrix under a trench coat when she visits E. Gordon Liddy's office and proceeds to punish this bad boy of Watergate breakin fame. I am at odds why Liddy even accepted this role to be dominated by a mere woman when his life is punctuated with prison daliances and scary stuff that would make any normal man cring with fear. But there he is, ordered to drop trou, by the very beautiful, Hispanic Vasquez of Playboy and Victoria's Secret fame and gets a bona fide ass whipping which sends him into convulsions of ecstacy and sensual pleasure. I guess because it IS G. Gordon Liddy this all makes sense. Sort of. s/a

This is the type of movie that will stand up to the test of time. I met Richard Benjamin once filming a stupid movie about a Black woman's daughter getting the wrong blood sample and realizing her father was white, Ted Dansen. He was very candid and open with me. I usually get this reaction as my great uncle was Leo McCarey who directed An Affair to Remember and The Bells of St. Mary's among others, and i realize that these famous people put their pants on just as you and i, one at a time. I was just out of college when this film came out and thus right in the middle of the sexual revolution of the 60s and 70s. I like particularly the scene where Richard and Kathryn meet in the hotel room for the first time to have sex and there is the argument about him wearing a condom. Great scene. The tackiness of her family is especially noted. You could see it with the cheap and cheesy type of decorations all over the house. Lots of red and velvet. The self possessed brother who went to Ohio St. also was a kick, always playing the stupid school basketball highlight record and reveling in his own sports accomplishments. There also had to be a little girl brat in the plot who was daddy's spoiled little daughter.

And seeing the daddy running his business with the family not getting the point on any of it. All of it was worthwhile. Reading the book was better.

Richard was poor, but had class and she the opposite. Proves that money does NOT buy class.
