Completely unwatchable. This film fails at everything it so desperately tries to acheive- as a comedy, as a thriller and as an erotic love story. Its just a total mess. The only one good thing about this piece of crap is Rake Wakeman's score.

The annoying score by Rick Wakeman was the worst thing in this movie, closely followed by the equally annoying male lead. But aside from those, it was quite a nice eighties experience.
shareThis quote by the screenwriter explains the movie quite well.
The movie "was just going for one very natural story and one sort of surreal story and showing the parallels. I mean, that’s the whole point of the movie. China Blue and Rev. Shayne were people who got into these masquerades to try hiding the reality of their lives, their insecurities and their inability to achieve trust and intimacy. Then that was played on with a marriage in which the people do the same things in a much more natural way, but they still have lies and deceptions and illusions, and just going for these parallels of talking about people who don these masks to camouflage reality."
Yep, horrible direction by Ken Russel.
90% of the movies I watch, I rate between 7 and 9.
This one I gave 4. Three points for Turner's performance (plus some funny lines) and 1 point more for her China Blue look. This dress, shoes, and wig = wow!
