David Stratton loved this movie, possibly in part because Gosia Dobrowolska takes her kit off and hooks up a lot with Chris Haywood. He runs an antiques store, gets a lot of sex according to him, has a deadbeat brother (Robert Menzies) and is having an affair with married Salvo, Dobrowolska. He finds some old golden hair and gets turned on by it.
Dobrowolska is married to Paul Chubb who is so amiable and lonely I didn't really like her for cheating - marriages don't work out, fine, but she's dragging the poor dude along.
Like many Cox films he has characters whisper thoughts on the soundtrack - the recording of Dobrowolska doing it was really irritating the volume was too high or something. He once more has fascinating support characters (Menzies, Jo Kennedy, Chubb) who could have used more screen time instead of the leads. He's also got all these women serving the needs of the male lead.
I just didn't care about the leads.
Looks gorgeous, like the ambition, can't fault the actors. Just disliked it.
