You gotta be kidding me...

Let's see...1984...crack cocaine was just making its way into the hands of the Hollywood elite, right? That has to be the explanation for how this film got made. I can see how John Derek thought it was a good idea; obviously he got off from putting his naked wives on film, but how did Bo get talked into this? Crack, right? How about George Kennedy? He can actually act! WTF?!? I've seen Skinemax films that were far superior in writing and plot development than this piece of garbage. Wow.

Have you seen Skinemax films with this kind of budget, or with this proffesional, polished look? It is not supposed to be "The English Patient." It is a light romantic comedy with strong erotic imagery. The wonderful film score and cinematography elevate this far above made for cable stuff of today. Bolero is romantic fantasy, with sheiks and matadors and American heiresses traveling to the Sahara to lose their virginity! If you don't get stuff like this, dont comment.. you dont know what you are talking about. And technically speaking, this is a well made film, the lighting, the sound, camera work, sets: all top notch. And i find your suggestion that Bo Derek was "smoking crack" to be highly offensive.
