Gwendoline - Unrated Director's Cut (1985)

Good!

Strictly B movie. Well, a C movie, but hey, Tawny Kitaen is either topless or nude all thru the movie! June 28, 2008

HIGH CAMP FETISH FUN

This original movie was simply a joy to see in the 1980's. My husband had a crush on Tawny, never missing her on "WKRP (?)In Cincinnati." So...when I spotted the VHS on a video store shelf one day back then, I grabbed up a copy immediately as a surprise for him. We had great fun watching it together. Believe me, I didn't get this movie with any expectation of cinematic excellence in mind. I just knew that my husband would get a kick out of seeing his favorite TV celebrity, Tawny Kitaen, naked on screen. I was curious too. Frankly though, I personally found Tawny's sidekick, Zabou cuter and more enticing than the star herself, but have never seen her since. I went out and bought a leather bustier the very next day. Compare this film with the much ballyhooed 9 1/2 Weeks or Eyes Wide Shut. YOU tell me which are sexier more fun to watch? I was just sad that this movie wasn't BAD enough and ended too soon. Tawny Kitaen could have built a lucrative career for herself simply making sequels to this film.... by continuing with the erotic adventures of Gwendoline. Pop entertainment doesn't have to empress the self-anointed film critics in order to be good. It simply needs to capture the imagination of its target audience. This film does that......even 23 years after it was made. June 21, 2008

Gwendoline movie

This movie was every bit as campy and good as I remember it, I have been looking for it on DVD for ages. I didn't notice any differences from the version I have on VHS from when it was first released, and I believe it was rated "R". I might have to go back and check. If you love damsel in distress movies, this one has plenty of that May 27, 2008

Wiley was better

The film was fun, more or less faithfully replicating John Wiley's original. Unfortunately, Wiley's graphic/erotic tension was largely missing. The dialog clumsy and unconvincing. Enjoyable, on the whole, but lacking the edge.

The most serious problem was technical: voice and image were out of sync. Everyone, not least your customer, deserved better. April 24, 2008

What you expect.

This is a poorly filmed, poorly produced, badly acted movie. But if you are looking for beautiful naked women, buy it. Tawny Kitean and her female co-star are incredible. I was very happy to add this movie to my collection. March 14, 2008
