Jeremy, a young art photographer, is kept by Maurice, a strange bachelor who only lives for Jeremy's appearances. To occupy his evenings, Jeremy wanders from sex shops to peep shows and becomes passionately in love with Otie, a pretty blonde.
But this gorgeous girl is the star of a peep show and at first sight she does not dote on him ;she had so many temporary admirers than she does not trust men anymore ; this exposure of the world of peep-shows and (male and female) prostitution is not really convincing (and has been treated many times,often more successfully than here)Besides the young couple is cute but bland ,and you can see how the movie will end from a mile off.
The reason why you would see through this movie is Richard Bohringer ,who steals the show every time he appears ;but his excellent performance throws the film off balance :Maurice , a sullen antique dealer, a heir (the black sheep of a wealthy family?), an admirer of a silent age actress , and a gay in love with the hero , heterosexual through and through. Actually one feels to use the fast forward button when he's not present; watch the movie for him!
