Weird tale of a lonely controlling wealthy woman...
dwpollar4 February 2006
1st watched 2/3/2006 - 2 out of 10(Dir-Istvan Ventilla): Weird tale of a lonely controlling wealthy woman and her relationship with a known killer named Malcolm who is her chauffeur and the one who does her dirty deeds when she doesn't want someone around any longer. This movie is being sold as the Catherine Bach-nudie/lesbian film but this is such a minor part it's not worth having for a brief minute or two of Bach's bare chest. The movie was made very cheaply with terrible sound where at times you have to turn it up full blast to hear what the character's are saying. This and the crazy antics of Leslie Caron as Nicole make for a very convoluted confusing mess of a movie. With a better production, they may have had something but just barely. The story has possibilities but you have to be able to hear and see what's going on first. Extra clips are thrown in randomly and you're not sure if these are past scenes or just dream sequences of the main character. This adds to the confusion. This is one of those examples of a badly made film making a few bucks because of marketing but shouldn't have been seen by anyone. It's that bad. Enough said.

Catherine bach shows all her assets but her acting

A cult favorite and big seller at the auctions and all because of catherines nude scene. the movie is about a rich neurotic almost psycho rich widow who likes to own things or people. Its a strange film with fade in fade outs flashbacks and parts that make no sense.Sort of a head movie style.Leslie Caron isn"t bad as the crazed Nicole and her dnacers body is still in good form for a 47 yr old lady. Bach enters the film about midway as the young innocent that Nicole takes under her wing.She dosn"t do much except look pretty.Her little girl high voice almost goes thru you.A bit later she has her famous nude scene and a quickie lesbian shot and is later killed off by Nicole who by now is really starting to lose it. All in all it will keep your interest but by no means is it classic or for that matter good filmmaking. Fair at best

A weird film, but a must have for a Catherine Bach fan.

Catherine bach gets topless, if that appeals you to the movie the this is one for you. This movie is one of those hard to find titles because of Catherine Bachs famous nude scene. Catherine went on to play Daisy Dukes and nowadays she is no where no be seen. At one time she was one of the most beautiful and popular stars in Hollywood, a shame really cos i don't think she managed to shake that Daisy Dukes image off, thats what ill remember her for anyway. There are a lot of people that will buy this movie for the one scene where Catherine takes off her top and her breasts are exposed, well if thats makes you happy then on you go. Catherine is not the star of the movie as she is killed off later by the weird crazed Nicole who is in love with her. This movie was released on DVD recently only through Uncut DVDS, it is a decent DVD, Mr Skin even gives a interview on Catherine Bachs nip slips, it's worth a look. I'm giving this movie 7 out of 10 only because of the lovely Catherine Bach, if your a fan of hers then you'll love it, if not the DVD could be used for a frisbee from your bedroom window.

A peculiar film, unlikely to appeal to the hoi polloi.
EyeAskance2 March 2004
Leslie Caron excels in her role as a self-absorbed, high-strung bitch who utilizes her great wealth for the benefit of others, though only to glorify herself and keep them on a leash. When she finds true love she changes for the better, but sneaking suspicions of extramarital affairs snap her right back to her old vindictive ways...and worse.

A very odd film with lots of fast editing shifts and red-herring randomness, many will be turned off by its semi-experimental erratic pacing. Catherine Bach's divested breasts will certainly keep select viewers briefly interested, however.

NICOLE will be a difficult watch for the quotidian viewer, but might be worth tracking down if your trying to find something off the beaten path of orthodox exposition. 6/10
